Stefan,
thank you for the fast implementation of this feature. I compiled the new revision and
it worked as expected.

Kind regards,
Bertram

Hi,

long lines in an entry are not printed correctly (the lines are cut off), if the text is encoded as plain text. This works correctly, if the text is encoded as ELCode. I tried this with Firefox and Internet Explorer. Does anybody know a solution for this?

Thanks,
Bertram

the lines are displayed as expected on the screen, but they are cut off when the browser window is printed via
the browsers print function.
This did not occur in a previous version (V2.5.6).

Hi Stefan,
I tried your suggestions with 'page shrinking' and 'message width', but they didn't help. What I do not understand is why this problem occurs only if the message text is formatted as plain text. The lines are printed correctly, if the text is formatted as EL code or as HTML.

It is of course possible to format new entries in EL code or HTML, but we have a lot of existing entries, which are formatted as plain text.

Kind regards,
Bertram

The lines are still cut, if printed on paper.
I played again with the 'message width' parameter, which actually the key parameter in my problem. I saw in the source, that the default value is now 112, but it was 76 in the elog version we'd used previously (V2.5.2). If I set 'message width' to 76 again, it works fine for new entries!
I wrote in the previous reply, that changing 'message width' didn't help. That seems to be the case for entries, which are re-submitted. For new entries it works.

You're right. I don't know what I've tested this afternoon Wink
Without the fixed font the text might get very small, if the line is too long.
I think we'll set 'message width' = 76.

Thanks a lot Stefan!
icon4.gif   Attachments in duplicated entries, posted by Bertram Metz on Thu Dec 8 10:32:37 2005 
Hi,

the duplicate command duplicates the entry text itself, but it does not duplicate attachments.
If attachments in a duplicated entry are deleted, the original attachment files are deleted as well and cannot be accessed anymore within the original entry.

My suggestion is to copy the attached files too and to use file names of the copies in the duplicated entry.

Kind regards,
Bertram

I chaned it such that attachments are removed from the duplicated entry, which was easier to implement. I hope this is ok as well. The change is in SVN revision 1584.


Yes, that's ok for me.
Thank you very much Stefan.

Best Regards,
Bertram
