Hello

I have the following in elog.cfg :

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server, Subject ,  Change Window Begin , Change Window End
List display = ID,Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server,  Subject ,  Change Window Begin , Change Window End

Type Change Window Begin = datetime
Type Change Window End = datetime

So I want to be able to give a start and end date to the user.  However : If I open a find/Search I see this :

There are for each  Change Window <item>   we get  Start: and End: time entries. Was expecting only one date entrie .

Why is this ? Seems to be a feature of datetime  or am i missing something.

Hello

I have a config file  :

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Customer, server,HPSD_ID, Cust_ID ,Subject ,  Change Window
; which fields will be shown !!
List display = ID,Author, Category, Customer, server, HPSD_ID, Cust_ID,Subject ,  Change Window

Type Change Window  = datetime
# Type Change Window End = datetime
Options Category = Network , Server ,
Options Customer = Arag{A}, Frieslandbank{B}, Super de Boer{C}, NRE{D}

{A} Options server = arag-lin1,arag-lin2,arag-lin3,arag-lin4, arag-lin5, arag-lin6, arag-lin7
{B} Options server = rc1upas02, rc1upas22,rc1upas03,rc1upas04,rc1uptsm01,rc1upas07,rc1upas08
{C} Options server = xia61031,xia61032 ,xia61033,xia61034,xia61035,xia61036,xia61037,xia61038,xia61039,xia61040,xia61032 ,xia61033,xia61034,xia61035,xia61036,xia61037,xia61038,xia61039,xia61040
{D} Options server = server27,server32,server34 ,server37,server38,server40
Extendable options = Category , Customer,server
Required Attributes = server , customer, Subject, Change window Begin , Change Window End
 

This works OK, However when I change the {A} Options  to {A} Moptions in the above code i get an error which tells me that a required field is not selected. So, with the pull down it works, with Moptions ( select boxes )  it will say that a required field is not selected.  Any hints ?

regards Arno

Hello

Just a few fckeditor related questions. How do elog versions and fckeditor versions relate. ?

Can I just drop another version of the fckeditor over an other version?  What things should I consider when doing so ?

thanks for you're time.

Hello

Using windows7 and the elogd 2.7.7 built Jul 31 2009, 13:01:20 revision 2246.  I noticed a bug in the tables created with fckeditor. When on winxp there is no problem. So it seems windows7 related. 
Don't know if I should post here or somewhere else. When i Click the table icon i get : 
When I want to continue ( Pressing Yes) i get

So the OK button is removed, and i can only cancel. So it's impossible to create a new table in elog. ( yes , create it by hand, but that is not so nice )
Download the latest version of elog : elogd 2.8.0 built Aug  2 2010, 12:16:05 revision 2312 . Just to see if this helps. The result is the same.
Is there some solution/workaround for this ?

Thanks for elog : it's great.

Answer : Problem solved. It is not window7 related. When I did a fresh install ( not installing over the old directory ) everything is working as expected. So I did something wrong with installing over the old elog directory.

Thanks for you're time and the inconvenience.

Error: Missing required attribute "Category" 

Please Notice that I've put quotes around : -u "username password" ( the documentation shows that this is not necessary) .  But now it failes to see a required attribute.  

When I leave out the quotes in the -u part , it just hangs despite the -vvv on the server console and the -v option  used in the elog command line. Nothing happens. No output at the server debug screen. 
I'm Not using SSL , nor have i used a certificate. It's just a good old  plain html server. ( As far as i can see )

 Hello Yoshio

Thanks for the answer. Just solved the problem i was having. It seems that the -m option for elog.exe is a required commandline option. When skipping it elog just waits to get something.
Thanks for the time you took to answer this question.

Kind regards Arno Teunisse
