icon5.gif   duplicate & presets, posted by Willem Koster on Mon Dec 12 15:17:39 2005 
I'm (mis)using elog as a database. I like the fact that I can have presets for fields, but I also like the fact 
that I can make a duplicate of an entry. Now when I make a duplicate, all the fields get overwritten with the 
preset-value. Is there a way to get the preset-values only on entering a NEW reord and NOT on a duplicate ?

I could take away the presets, most of them are "***" (literally) to be able to search for entries that do not 
have a value, but I don't know how to search for empty fields.


PS: They wanted to do a CMDB in BMC-Magic (really expensive $$$-ware), but after about 1 afternoon (and about 6 
prototypes) they went with elog since it was fast, cheap and already implemented (and filled with 200 entries 
through a script using some old CSV list we had lying around) :-) 

 
icon13.gif   [261] problem with month selection, posted by Willem Koster on Fri Feb 3 11:54:22 2006 
I have several date-fields defined in my logboek. But when I click the icon and select another month the pop-up 
window get's filled  with the contants of the logboek instead of the date-selection.

Date format = %Y%m%d
icon5.gif   sort after find, posted by Willem Koster on Fri Feb 3 12:38:57 2006 
When I do a find (like Field1 = XXX )
and then try to sort the results I get the entire list again (but sorted) instead of the sorted results.
But when I fabricate a url manually like

http://elog.com/Forum/?mode=summary&npp=990&Field1=XXX&sort=field2

I do get the search-results nicely sorted.

Obviously I would like to be able to sort the result of a find-query.

Is this a bug or a feature request ?

[quote="Angus Au"]I came across problem in compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform.

Is there any fix ? I can compile elog 2.6.0 successfully on solaris.[/quote]

There is a fix, we have 2.6.1 running on Solaris.

A colleague of me installed it and did mention something about having to go through the source and adapting the 
makefile. I didn't hear him speak of missing libraries though, I will ask him next week.
icon5.gif   quick filter, posted by Willem Koster on Wed Sep 5 15:05:52 2007 
Greetings,

Last night we updated to 2.6.5 and now the <ENTER>-key on the "quick filter" searches won't work anymore in 
internet exporer (@windows). I have to use the <TAB>-key now to get the results.

The ENTER-key still works under firefox (Windows & linux) and opera (at least under linux, because 
opera@windows refuses to log me on .. whatever) and I would like to see it come back to internet explorer as 
well.

Regards,
Willem Koster

ehm... funny enough the quick-filter entry used in this elog does work with IE.  

(we're using ELOG V2.6.5-1844 btw)

update: when we try just one quick-filter it works ok, when we add our second quick-filter it stops working.

Both quick-filters are tekst-searches (just like this forum only has one tekst-search quick-filter).

We suspect that this is an explorer issue and probably not something that can be solved with elog, but ... 
maybe .. who knows...



update2:

In the source we see:

    <noscript><input type="Submit" value="Search"></noscript> 

If we remove the <noscript> </noscript> tags we get a submit-button, but our problem seems to be solved. 
(obviously hacking the source-code is not our primary choice :-)
icon5.gif   How to put "Quote text" _below_ new message?, posted by Valentin on Thu Dec 27 01:33:11 2012 

Hi there,

It seems that by default in a message created as "reply" of another message, the "quoted text" of the original entry is put at the _TOP_ of the new entry and not movable (Firefox 17, elog 2.92). I would strongly like to have it opposite, i.e. that one is able to create a new text first and only then has the "quoted text" since people are interested to see a new information and only then the previous messages as sort of "reminder". It was like this in older (2.6?) version but now I did not find how to change this default behavior. Did I miss something?

Cheers

Valentin

icon5.gif   Sorting Museremail, posted by Steve Williamson on Mon Jun 30 10:55:29 2008 

We use elog for (amongst other things) a simple change management log.  About two dozen users allowed to do updates and their email addresses are listed at the bottom of the page to allow any of them to be included on circulation for a change request.  The email addresses appear in the order that they were added (i.e. apparently random).  Is there any way to sort these, ideally by Last part of Full Name/First part of Full Name, but login name or email address would be OK?

Thanks for a great piece of software.

Steve
