  1730   Mon Feb 27 19:29:15 2006 Question Patrick Decowskidecowski@berkeley.eduBug report 2.6.1Find in multiple logbooks returns wrong pages
hello ELOG developers,

i think that i found a problem in the find function of ELOG  version 2.6.1. i can reproduce it on the forum ELOG website on midas.psi.ch:

go to: http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Contributions/?cmd=Find
and enter under author 'ritt' and check the 'search all logbooks' checkmark, then search

the returned list has all your postings on all three ELOG sections, but if you look at the links that are returned, they point to the 'Contributions' 
portion of the ELOG and not the 'Forum' portion as they should. this means that the wrong posting is returned when you click on the link (or in 
this case, no posting at all).

for example, the HTML of the first link is
[...]
<tr>
<td class="list2" nowrap><a href="1723">Forum</a></td>
<td class="list2">
<a href="1723">&nbsp;&nbsp;1723&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>
</td>

<td class="list2" nowrap><a href="1723">Thu Feb 23 15:50:20 2006</a></td>
<td class="list2"><a href="1723">Stefan <B style="color:black;background-color:#ffff66">Ritt</B></a></td><td class="list2"><a 
href="1723"><a href="stefan.ritt@psi.ch">stefan.ritt@psi.ch</a></a></td><td class="list2"><a href="1723">Question</a></td><td 
class="list2"><a href="1723">Re: Protect Selection page</a></td><td class="list2"><a href="1723"></a>&nbsp;</td><td class="list2"><a 
href="1723"></a>&nbsp;</td><tr>
[...]

i.e., it is missing '../Forum' in front of all the links.

regards,
patrick.

This problem has been fixed in SVN revision 1671.

Hi,
here I am at it again. Since my first posts, I tried to install the latest version of elog out-of-the-box on one pair of
PCs from scratch (fresh elog install on new, just-installed PCs, OS WinXP Pro and Win2000), but with no results. No
trace of the global configuration menu or the buttons to reach it.
Neither taking a look at the code has helped, I could not figure out exactly where the button bar was generated.
Didn't anybody other point out a similar behaviour? Do you have any suggestion for any tests to carry out?
Thanks

  1789   Tue Apr 4 06:18:18 2006 Question Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comRequest 2.6.1Simple math within an elog form
This may sound a little strange but I am trying to determine if it is possible to create a series of attributes that may be assigned an integer value via OPTIONS, and then take the selected values and perform some simple math and display the result. For example:

What we are trying to do is create a simple form that helps a person assign a risk value to a series of identified risks

Attributes = risk1, risk2, risk3, totalrisk
Type risk1 = numeric
Type risk2 = numeric
Type risk3 = numeric

OPtions risk1 = 10, 20, 30
Options risk2 = 10, 20 , 30
OPtions risk3 = 10, 20 , 30

Subst totalrisk = $risk1+$risk2+$risk3

I suppose I could use $shell to do this but I was trying to stay away from $shell for security reasons.

Thanks

This item is already on the wishlist, so I added your vote there. But due to my workload, it will certainly not be implemented in the next few weeks.

What comes out with my simple echo or gawk line is "+ + " so it looks like the attributes are not getting passed into the $shell code?

The reason is that the substitutions get evaluated from left to right, so first the shell is called with $Risk1, and because the shell by itself does a subsitution and $Risk1 is not defined on the unix system, the shell returns an empty string, leading to "+ +" as the result.

I changed that in the current SVN version, so we have first the attribute substitions, then then shell substitution. The "echo $Risk1..." will of course not work, since it gets substituted by elog as "echo 12 + 23 + 45" (or whatever the numbers are), and the "echo" will just return these numbers without adding them. To make the shell to add things, you would need to define the risks as environment variables for the shell, so I guess the "gawk" method will work better for you. I tried it and it worked fine for me.
