The only way I see how you can achieve what you want is to define two separate logbooks, but serve them from the same directory (via the "Data dir" option). Both logbooks should share the same attribute definition, but use different "List display" options.

 I take it you mean the "Subdir" option (the manual mentions "Data dir" as obsolete)? I tried it with that and it works like a charm - gives me now two logbooks, i.e. two tabs with the same data and two different views - which is precisely what we need. Thanks!

Yes, of course I mean '$entry time', sorry for the misspelling.


Well, we really appreciate the way you keep adding features and making improvements. I thought you might have slipped a new one in!



FYI, I think there's a little bug in the datetime vs $date implementation.

Here's a section of my config file implementing a "Last Edit" field:

Type Last Edit = datetime
Preset Last Edit =$date
Locked Attributes = Last Edit
Subst on edit Last Edit = $date
Start page = ?rsort=Last Edit

I expected that "Preset Last Edit =$date" would set Last Edit to the current date when I create a new entry. In fact that leaves the field empty, or at least not in datetime format.

I found that using this instead works:
Preset Last Edit =$entry time

which seems contradictory since
Subst on edit Last Edit = $date
works fine.

Do you have an old version of elog? Using the current version with a configuration file:
Attributes = Author, Type, Last Edit
Type Last Edit = datetime
Preset Last Edit =$date
Locked Attributes = Last Edit
Start page = ?rsort=Last Edit

I get the correct behavior:

Yes, I'm using 2.7.3 - I'll try upgrading, sorry. I'll reply with the outcome.

Everything works fine with 2.7.5, thanks!
  66103   Tue Dec 9 00:25:52 2008 Idea Dennis Seitzdseitz@berkeley.eduRequestAll2.7.5Please add Subst on Duplicate

 I would like to be able to substitute some attribute values when an entry is duplicated. I don't see Subst on Duplicate available in the cfg file syntax. Can you add that?

 

Thanks

Subst on Duplicate does not make sense. Subst always works after you submit an entry, while Preset works before you enter the entry. When you Duplicate an entry, it looks like a new one, just with attributes and text from another entry. So when you submit that one, the system cannot distinguish if you entered a new one by yourself or if this is based on a copy of another entry. So what you probably need is Preset on duplicate.

Thanks for explaining.

I thought Preset would work with Duplicate since Duplicate creates a new entry, but it didn't. Then I tried Subst because Duplicating an entry opens it in Edit mode, so you are in effect Duplicating, and then Editing the entry. It just didn't occur to me to look for Preset on Duplicate.
