icon5.gif   Cancelling an Roption selection in Edit., posted by David Pilgram on Thu Jul 2 09:39:40 2009 
Hi Stefan,

I don't know if anyone else would be interested or need this...

If you have an Roption, and it is not required (maybe...) or have a preset attribute, it is possible to make an
entry and have replies without any of the attributes in that Roption being selected.

However, once an attribute in that Roption has been selected, it is not possible to go back (editing) to the
condition before one was selected on that entry (so far as I can tell).  

Is a way of cancelling all the possible attributes in an Roption practical?  Would others want it?  It is
possible with options, as there is a "please select" which can be used to cancel whichever attribute in the
option that has been selected.

Regards,  David
icon3.gif   Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Nov 16 13:48:33 2016 

If I edit an old entry, and do some mistake while editing, then there is currently no way to savely discard the changes.

The problem is that the entry will become a draft: if I close the window without saving, then the whole entry is gone: it will be converted into a draft entry. But the draft does contain my changes, it is not the originally saved entry!

The draft mechanism should keep a copy of the entry before I opened it in edit mode, and allow to go back to that copy. The edit form has currently the buttons "Submit", "Save", "Preview" and "Delete"; it should have in addition the button "Cancel", that just closes the edit window without saving the entry and even deleting the draft that was saved while the entry was modified. This should bring you back to the previous list view.

Is anyone out there in favour of this change?

icon4.gif   Can't use the command-line client, posted by Pieter Edelman on Wed Mar 16 20:04:32 2005 

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the command-line client from linux, but I can't make it work and that's driving me nuts...

What I want is to reply to a selected message in the logbook, but I stumble onto two problems:

  1. There is a read password ("Read Password=..." entry in elogd.cfg)on the logbook which I cannot bypass from the client. Specifying the switch -u "" password on the command line has no effect, and neither does -w password. The error message I get is included at the bottom of this message. If I disable the read password, I get past the authentication.
  2. There is a required attribute called "Publiek", and it's defined as MOptions. Whenever I try to upload, I keep getting the message that it misses this attribute. I tried the switch -a Publiek=Anders, -a "Publiek=Anders", -a Publiek_0=Anders, -a "Publiek_0=Anders" -a "Publiek_1=Onbekend, -a Publiek=1 on the beginning, end, and middle of the command, but the results are the same. Both "Anders" and "Onbekend" are in the MOptions list (including capitals).

For completeness, here's (one variety) of my command line:

elog -a "Publiek=1" -h localhost -p 8181 -l Artikelen -v -r 80

The obvious question is if anybody knows what I'm doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Pieter

icon4.gif   Can't subscribe email to logbooks in different top groups, posted by Ben Loer on Thu Apr 11 20:31:55 2019 

We're running elogd behind an apache proxy server, with Authentication = Webserver. We have top groups configured, but a single shared password file.

If a user is looking at a particular logbook and goes to the Config link, they are presented with a list of checkboxes for email subscription to logbooks in that top group.  Clicking "Save" will remove all email subscriptions from all other top groups.

Is there a workaround to this issue?

EDIT: Manually adding an entry for different logbooks in the password file gets clobbered the next time the user logs in.

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.
