  66530   Fri Sep 4 20:44:32 2009 Question Dandanlei.chao@noaa.govQuestionLinux2.7.7-1ELcode in Summary Text
Hello,

   Thank you for such a great piece of software!

   When displaying the entries in a log book with Summary view, ELCode is not processed in 'Text'. I know there
is an option called 'Allow HTML", but is there something similar for decoding ELCode in the Summary 'Text' field?

Thank you again,
   - Dan

That would be a lot of effort for very little gain. I appreciate your detailed response. 

Thank you,
   - Dan

Hi,

I've just installed the news 3.1.5 version and I have 2 problems.
I don't know if it works with older versions because I started with latest.

- When using "select" menu then "edit" for multiple entries, the text is replaced with "- keep original text here -" instead of keeping the original values. Really annoying...







Another problem too, if I want to edit after, I have the error message "only author - keep original text here - can edit" although the author column is OK..
It looks like this problem is global and not only on text column.




- Version number is indicated "ELOG V3.1.4" instead of V3.1.5.

My config file :

[global]
port = 8888

I'm using Apache as reverse proxy with SSL and transparent Kerberos authentication (Microsoft Active Directory).

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your prompt help.
It looks good for text but I still have problem with "select" function (even in English).

If I use "select" menu :
- When multiple values are selected it indicates "only user - keep original values - can edit" (freshly created).




- When a single value is selected, it indicates "only user XXX can edit" where XXX is my truncated name (the first 4 letters).



After editing in with admin account the author is now my truncated name :



If I want to edit a single entry (without select menu) it works perfectly.

Thanks.

I checked and found that the bug which removed the main text was there since the beginning, but it's only triggered if you switch elog to French, it doesn't happen in the English version. I changed a bit the text processing so now it should work also in the French version.

I also changed the version number which is shown at the bottom to 3.1.5.

Thanks !

Sometime I need to edit multiple values to add a new choice.
By exemple, if I add a new column "status" (open, closed...) , it's mandatory to use select menu to add the new value to existent entries.

With a lot of lines it's not possible to edit one by one.

Stefan Ritt wrote:

If it works with a simple edit, then why don't you use that one to edit individual values. I checked and version 3.1.4 had already the same problem, so it was not newly introduced. I would have to invest a couple of hours to fix this issue correcly, which I simply don't have right now.

 

  67020   Thu Feb 24 11:47:07 2011 Question Cossutta Lcossutta@pd.infn.itQuestionLinux2.8.1-2350Filter on Options

I want to implement the following feature in my logbook:
selecting an Option related to a specific Attribute produces a filter on the Options related to the other Attributes.

-----
Example:
I have the following configuration:
" Attributes = Project, Category
Options Project = Agenda, Software
Options Category = General, Data, Result, Meeting, Status, TODO, DONE,
Reminder, Result, Other
...
Quick filter = Project, Category "

I want that: if on the Quick filter I select "Project = Agenda", then the entry "Category" displays only the Options "Meeting, Status, TODO, DONE, Reminder, Other"; if on the Quick filter I select "Project = Software", then the entry "Category" displays only the Options "General, Data, Result, Other".
See the attached JPGs (they are edited printscreens from my logbook).

------


Is there a way to do this?

Thank you in advance!

That's possible with conditional attributes:

Attributes = Project, Category
Options Project = Agenda{1}, Software{2}
{1}Options Category = Meeting, Status, TODO, DONE, Reminder, Other
{2}Options Category = General, Data, Result, Other
Quick Filter = Project, Category 

 

Thanks a lot for the prompt answer!

  66651   Thu Dec 10 16:05:59 2009 Question Cliff Shawcliff.shaw@stratosglobal.comBug reportWindows2.7.8Elogd crashes when submitting replies

Hi Stefan,

I recently installed the latest Elog 2.7.8 revision 2277 after running Elog 2.7.7 revision 2246 for several months without any problems. However once I submit an entry by using the Reply command Elog crashes and Windows XP reports an error message screen. This also stops the elogd service.

I have pinpointed it down to the command "subst on reply Subject = $Subject" by removing my whole configuration file and just added the line "subst on reply Subject = $Subject" to your demo configuration file.

Elog seems to also stops the elogd service with any "subst on reply" command.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Regards

Cliff Shaw
