<img> in Display Attribute, posted by Emiliano Gabrielli on Fri Jul 8 19:08:30 2005
|
My goal is to be able to do the following :
Display Category = $category <img src="icons/$category.png" border="0">
This way one can add a self explaining icon to the attribute or just replaceing it (only in visualization)
Is there another method to accomplish this ? otherwise I's in my wish list  |

You need Preset on reply Author = $short_name . Subst is supposed to work after a submission, Preset before you open the edit mask. See this forum. If you reply to this entry, your name appears as the Author even if it's locked. Here is the config:
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset Author Email = $user_email
Preset on reply Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author Email = $user_email
Locked Attributes = Author
The Subst can be used for your image category thing. So instead using
Display Category = $category <img src="icons/$category.png" border="0">
you can use
Subst Category = $category <img src="icons/$category.png" border="0">
which physically rewrites the category. This is probably not what you want, but take it as an example. We use it in one place to replace a user name by a link to our internal telephonbook searching for this username, so if one clicks on the user, one ends up in the user's telephonebook entry. |
Ok it's working perfectly, my bad Iwas lost in the huge set of config parameters elog accept the first time I installed it
Thank you so much Stefan |

Ok, it's implemented in CVS. |
Still a problem .. sorry:
Options Category = Info,Report,Problem{1},Other
Preset Category = Info
Display Category = <img style="border:0; float:left; margin-right:5px" src="icons/$category.png">$category
{1}ROptions Level = Notice,Warning,Alert,Fixed
{1}Preset Level = Warning
{1}Display Level = <img style="border:0; float:left; margin-right:5px" src="icons/$level.png">$level
when I try to use this featur on a conditional attr it is ignored .. If I remove the {1} it is obviously showed .. but also when no $level is defined (taht is infact not what should be)...
BTW, is it possible to not show conditional attributes in mail and in "single entry" view? .. it's quite strange to ave a "Level" of a "Misure", not a "Problem" 
thank you in advance |

userlist multiple select, posted by Emiliano Gabrielli on Mon Jul 11 09:52:52 2005

Here I am again
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 |

Well, that's not the way condition attributes are supposed to work. They were designed to modify the new entry input mask, to have diefferent option lists depending on the value of an attribute. But conditional attributes do not have any meaning for normal display and for email notification. This would have to be implemented and is quite some work. So I would put following in your config:
Options Category = Info{1},Report{1},Problem{2},Other{1}
Preset Category = Info
Display Category = <img style="border:0; float:left; margin-right:5px" src="icons/$category.png">$category
{1}ROptions Level = Notice,Warning,Alert,Fixed
{1}Preset Level = Warning
{1}Display Level = <img style="border:0; float:left; margin-right:5px" src="icons/$level.png">$level
{2}Preset Level = N/A
Having N/A is not as nice as having this attribute not shown at all, but that's the only choice one has right now  .
Another thing: you maybe realized that putting <img> in the subject of your orignal entry results in a missing image. That's a nasty side effect of your wish to have any <img> interpreted as HTML. Of course you could argue that <img> is not a real HTML statement because the source is missing, but then another one will come and put there a subject like: "I want an <img src="bla.gif"> in my config" and bang, we are back to the same problem. So if anyone has a clever idea of how to solve this, please let me know. Maybe one should be able to put a "\" in front of any code (also the ELCode tags) to not interprete them by the system. But while this is maybe obvious for a C programmer or shell programmer, the normal user might not find this so obvious. |
IMHO the solution may be in allowing html code only in the cfg, not in the value of the field..
i.e., elog has to first allow html in the cfg attribute and then replace every $attribute with their values... this values as to be translated in html entities in order to solve the problem
in other wordsthe value of the attribute as to httl_encoded when displayed.. and the cfg line not
or I am loosing some point ? |

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  . 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  |
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
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 |

This is not completally true IMHO .. better, it is, but it is not the only problem.
Elog seems to speak HTML/1.0, where "host:" is not implemented ... Since ELOG does not support Vhosts I think the right beaviour is to remove the "Host:" header at all ...
On the other hand it should replay with an error when a bogus client tries to speak HTML/1.0 specifing "host:",
and (the wrost case) when the bogus client says to speak HTML/1.1 and doesnt provide the required "Host:" header ...
Yes .. elog will ignore it, but it is an RFC requirement for HTML/1.1 ! |
