Here I am again Smile

My goal is to put a "Co-Authors" Attribute in my logbook, giving the possibility to other people in the control room to have credits about an entry... I added a "Co-Author" attribute, but It shold permit a "multliple" selection (a checkbox is not good) ... the perfect solution would be to add the attribute "multiple" to the <select> tag, and filling the elog Attribute value with a comma separated list of the selections ...

tnx in advance Smile


Have you tried
MOptions ...
which gives you check boxes where more than one can be selected?

I presume you have, but you really would prefer a multi-selection box instead of multiple check boxes Wink . Well, let's make a deal: if you explain everybody how to do a selection in a multi-select box (with all the Shift-Click, CTRL-Click, and this under different operating systems), I will implement it Big grin


a multiple selection box it's a standard web tool .. if one is not able to use its browser is not an elog problem IMHO Tongue

My request is becouse having a number of user (say 20) makes the checkbox solution very very nasty .. again, it's a choice you give to the smart user .. others simply will not notice any change in elog Wink

Really? Can you point me to a common web site using this? I would really like to see how other people use this.

Ok, I put it on my wishlist. If more than one person asks for this, I will implement it. Unfortunately it's not only putting a multiple into the HTML page, it's also a different way how multiple selections are passed in the POST form and their decoding, so it will be an hour or two of work for me.

I can't remember just now a web site using it .. what I mean is that "multiple" attribute for the "select" tag is a standard for the web (it's not an IE extension or so on ..) so every web browser implements it.

It's normally used, for example, when you fill a form describing your attitudes, here you can often choose from a select box a number of interest you are concerded.. but it is only an example

Yes I know, uhm... if you point me to the right piece of code to be adjusted I can see if I'll be able to do the job Smile

Using the [code] elocode should be intended also to preserve the tagged text from beeing parsed as html or elcode itself ..

this is an example:

Note that, for security reasons, you should check the MD5 FINGERPRINT of the SSL certificate issued by the server agaist the following one:

MD5 Fingerprint = 23:A7:AD:33:3C:08:BE:2A:62:6E:85:DF:B8:00:23:40


Thank you
  1265   Thu Jul 14 12:47:06 2005 Entry Emiliano GabrielliAlberT@SuperAlberT.itBug reportAll short/long_name should point the same user
.. I mean that if I use:
Restrict edit                 = 1
; preset author and email
Preset Author                 = $short_name
Preset Author Email           = $user_email
Preset on reply Author        = $short_name
Preset on reply Author Email  = $user_email
Subst on reply subject        = Re: $subject

; these attributes cannot be changed
Locked Attributes             = Author, Author Email

and then I change Preset Author to be "$long_name" Elog does not permit the autor to edit an old post of its own ...
It is not able to argue that short and long name are the same person..

Yes I know, you'll ask me why I should change it .. the anwer is.. I don't have to, but (as I could do it logically) I'd like to be able to do..

In my case I changed it by error, people inserted entries and now I restored the correct one .. so now I have to unlock the attribute and change every Author by hand as admin

a problem related to this issue is that an attribute of userlist type automatically sets the user to be in the long form..

My proposal is to alwais store users in the long form and anly give the possibility to use the short or long form in displaing time..

A new ELOG user wants to register on "127.0.0.1"


the scenario is:
- elog on localhost
- stunnel on the external interface

I dont want elog to listen on external interface, so.. why do not use the URL cfg attribute for this issue ?

You can specify the interface to liste on with the
"-n <interface>"
parameter of elogd.
