So, when we go to the download section and download directly from there, that is not "committed" source? I ask because the revision id there is not set to anything that I can see.


Can you be a bit more specific? What do you download? The Windows binaries, the Linux RPM? Or from the Subversion repository? The current version in the repository, which you can download here, contains in the file elogd.c following line 8:
   $Id: elogd.c 1660 2006-02-17 19:48:12Z ritt $

This tells you that this is revision 1660, committed on Feb. 17 by myself. So what is the problem?

Ok, this is really strange but just an hour ago I clicked on the http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download.html link and I was taken to a completely different webview - in fact, I am quite sure that at the bottom right corner it said "WebCVS"! Now, it says WebSVN and the revision info is in there. I've been trying to debug a problem with default.css and the elcode icons - and somewhere in there I cleared my firefox cache. Perhaps an old page was cached????

I have no idea how I got to CVS, and it make sense that CVS was not setting the SVN revision code.
Sorry to botter you on this.

For the list view, you need an additional

List Change RIB-Admin = ...

Some people want different modes for the list view and the detail view, that's why there are two options.

Thanks for reporting this. I could reproduce the prolem thanks to the config file you supplied. I fixed the problem and made a new release 2.6.1-3.


It works now fine.

Thanks & Regards

Steve Jones wrote:
When a footer is used (via Bottom text = <filename>) eLog no longer displays the eLog version number at the bottom. Is it possible to somehow expose the version/revision as an eLog attribute or have the version still display even when a replacement footer is specified?

Thanks!


I added that feature, but will not be able to commit it before the next weekend.

Stefan, I have several issues/questions that I am still hoping to get an answer on. Any chance? If you would rather you can send email to me directly.


I'm pretty busy these days, since we have a deadline on April 18th. I started already working weekends, so not much time is left for ELOG. But I hope it will get better by the end of this month.


I fully understand and appreciate your response!

Subst TotalRisk = $shell(echo $Risk1 + $Risk2 + $Risk3 > /tmp/elog_out)

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.


Sorry, I waSn't clear about just why I was using "echo". Since elog removes the /tmp/elog_shell temporary file I couldn't "see" what was actually being passed to the shell - gawk was giving me an error and I was flying blind. So I used echo to create my own temporary file.

Yes, gawk should now work -- I'l download and compile the latest and provide feedback.

Thanks!


Ok, confirming that this now works. Passing the command:
Subst <attribute> = $shell(gawk 'BEGIN{ print $Attrib1 + $Attrib2 + $Attrib3 }' ) 
will cause the result to be pushed into <attribute>, so gawk in essence becomes a simple calculator and operates on the formula "$Attrib1 + $Attrib2 + $Attrib3".

Playing with elog for a day made me very happy. I was looking for a webbased thingy to support list building for 'Getting Things Done' by David Allen ( David Allen's Getting Things Done ).
Elog is simple, intuitative and very powerfull!
Less informative is the fact that i found no bugs till now Frown
On usablitity..maybe some more control over the dialog..eg the 'in between' screens (eg after a move...the 'to which log i would like to resume' question)...or have an option to be in select mode by default.
Tnx

No, this is not possible directly. You would have to make a new reply, and manually fill in the contents from the original reply. It is however possible by directly tampering the ELOG files, but that should be done only by experienced users.


Kind of what I thought but needed to ask. I think I'll leave things as they are. Thanks!
