icon5.gif   Where do I find information on setting up the text area as a template?, posted by Chris Jennings on Thu Aug 23 14:30:56 2012 

I would like to set up the text are as a template. The documentation indicates this can be done however I am unable to find reference to how it is accomplished.

icon5.gif   Sort by date prior to 2002, posted by Chris Jennings on Tue Sep 16 17:59:27 2014 

I have an attribute formatted as a date (but not labeled as date) and is sorted as second priority. The sort works fine until I enter a date older than Jan 1st 2002. When I do this it is sorted as the latest. Is this a bug or simply not designed to use dates this old?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

 Sorry, my mistake. The cutoff date is anything before September 9th 2001 does not sort.

icon5.gif   Creating logbook by copying an existing one crashes elog, posted by Chris Howe on Thu Jul 28 15:33:21 2005 
Hi,

Trying to create a new logbook from an existing one causes elog to crash.

output from DrMingw:
elogd.exe caused an Access Violation at location 00448c6e in module elogd.exe
Writing to location 6e206c65.

Registers:
eax=00240798 ebx=00000020 ecx=6e206c61 edx=00250088 esi=00000000 edi=69726500
eip=00448c6e esp=01c1a1d0 ebp=01c1a1f0 iopl=0 nv up ei ng nz ac po cy
cs=001b ss=0023 ds=0023 es=0023 fs=0038 gs=0000 efl=00000297

Call stack:
00448C6E elogd.exe:00448C6E
00445F17 elogd.exe:00445F17

as the service restarts elog the browser then displays:

"Cannot open file elog.pwd: No such file or directory
Please use your browser's back button to go back"

If you try and create a new logbook from scratch (i.e. not a copy) then the browser displays:

"Cannot open file elog.pwd: No such file or directory
Please use your browser's back button to go back"

In both cases the new logbook is created.

any ideas?

icon5.gif   Literal comma in elogd.conf entries where "," is an item separator?, posted by Chris Green on Mon Jul 25 19:24:47 2005 
Hi,

Could you tell me if there is a way to escape characters in elogd.conf? Particularly, I want to have a drop-down "Keyword" attribute where one of the options is "Spelling, grammar and typos.". This invariably gets split into "Spelling" and "grammar and typos". I've tried "\,", ",,", "%," and "%27", to no avail.

Can I get there from here, or do I have to go someplace else?

Thanks,
Chris.

Sorry for being dense. Thanks for this,

icon1.gif   Can't set Author attribute properly in reply?, posted by Chris Green on Mon Jul 25 23:39:16 2005 
Hi,

I have two problems:

1) With the configuration below, I can't set the Author attribute to be the author of the reply. As written, it gives the Author field as blank. If the Remove on Reply line is removed, it is set to the parent's author. What am I doing wrong?

2) With the Page Title line set as shown, $logbook gets expanded as "Charged+Current+Pi+Plus". If the line is left blank, the correct "Charged Current Pi Plus" gets put in the title line.

Thanks for any help,
Chris.
