It appears to only be applicable when one defines conditional Options - when javascript updates the conditional lists the input focus appears to shift to the HTML edit area. I am still running ELOG V2.6.1-1681 and this is under Windows (my test system).


It was some new code used for inline images. If you upload an inline image, an extra window opens which lets you select the image file. After that operation, you want to have the focus back at the text box. Unfortunately this also happened now after the JavaScript update of conditional attributes. I fixed that in the new version 2.6.1-6.

Just compiled 2.6.2-1714 and "Top text" and "Bottom text" interpret everything as "text" --- nothing is interpreted as a file to be included, unless there is a new syntax.

I dropped back to SVN1699 and same problem, then moved the file to the elog root directory and it works fine. Seems that the current version isn't finding the file, regardless of where I put it (root or in 'resources' directory). Perhaps another directory?

Stefan, I found the source of the problem. When you moved some files to "logbook_dir" you also told the code to look in "logbook_dir" for top and bottom text files:
void show_bottom_text(LOGBOOK * lbs)
{
   char str[NAME_LENGTH], slist[20][NAME_LENGTH], svalue[20][NAME_LENGTH];
   int i, size;

   if (getcfg(lbs->name, "bottom text", str, sizeof(str))) {
      FILE *f;
      char file_name[256], *buf;

      if (str[0]) {
         /* check if file starts with an absolute directory */
         if (str[0] == DIR_SEPARATOR || str[1] == ':')
            strcpy(file_name, str);
         else {
            strlcpy(file_name, logbook_dir, sizeof(file_name));
            strlcat(file_name, str, sizeof(file_name));
         }

The documentation indicates that the location dir should be "resource_dir".
icon5.gif   Why are Preset fields blanked out?, posted by Steve Jones on Thu Sep 14 22:59:39 2006 
The snippet of code below sets an attribute to a date depending on the selection. Problem is, if attribute ApprovedDate was previously set, selecting any other value for CRStatus will blank out ApprovedDate (the same occurs for CompletedDate). Why would this be occurring when the conditionals are mutually exclusive?
##################################################
# Define CRState
#
Options CRState = PENDING{a}, APPROVED{b}, HOLD{a}, REJECTED{a}, COMPLETED{c}
{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date

I don't understand your problem. If I use following config file:
[demo]
Theme = default
Attributes = Author, CRState, ApprovedDate, CompletedDate

Options CRState = PENDING{a}, APPROVED{b}, HOLD{a}, REJECTED{a}, COMPLETED{c}
{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date

and make an entry, then edit it, selecting approved, then submit, then edit again, then select completed, then I get following:



which looks ok to me (the previous ApprovedDate does not get blanked out). Can you reproduce that behaviour?

I think I found it. Try this:
Locked Attributes = ApprovedDate, CompletedDate
##################################################

Options CRState = PENDING{a}, APPROVED{b}, HOLD{a}, REJECTED{a}, COMPLETED{c}
{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date

In my config when I remove the two attributes from "LOCKED ATTRIBUTES" the fields do not get blanked out.
icon5.gif   "Supress Email Notification" checkbox, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Sep 18 18:36:07 2006 
Is there a way to allow email notification but have the "Suppress Email Notification" checked by default? We had complaints about the enormous amount of email so I turned off email notification for edits/replys, but there are times that I would like to allow email to be sent out -- this would imply allowing email by unchecking the "Suppress" box.
