Addition of a "Restrict edit attribute" option?, posted by Justin Ellison on Tue Mar 13 17:27:49 2007
|
It would be a nice addition to have a config file option named "Restrict edit attribute".
Basically, I would like to have an attribute that was either:
a) An Option Attribute named Status with options of "Open" or "Closed"
b) An Option Attribute named Closed that was boolean.
Then, we could leave the item as editable until either choice "a" above was set to closed or choice "b" was true, at which point only admins could edit the item.
Sound plausible?

Conditional attributes? Like:
Attributes = ..., Status
Options Status = Open{1}, Closed{2}
{2}Locked attributes = Status
Unfortunately once it's locked, the admin has to change the config file to unlock it. |

Sorry, I didn't explain it enough.
This feature is like "Restrict edit time", but instead of setting an entire entry as read only after n hours, we set it read only if attribute y is true. Admin would be able to go in and reset that attribute to false to unlock the entry for editing, but no one else would be able to.
That make more sense?

I understand what you want. The conditional attributes I showed you give you that functionality, except that unlocking is a bit painful for the admin (has to edit the config file each time). Sorry, but that's all I can give you. |

Now I understand what you were getting at. Sorry for the confusion. That should work fine for us - unlocking is something that shouldn't ever happen.
Thanks for the quick response!

If you go to Computer Management, click on Services, double click on ELOG, you will see "Path to executable". Either you move elogd.exe to d:\elog and start it there, or you start elogd with the "-c" flag, which specifies the location of the config file, such as
...\elogd.exe -c g:\elog\elogd.cfg
I have to warn you however that sometimes I personally had kind of poor network connection to a Windows server, so the reply time of elog was many seconds. |
