| Gary Cramblitt | garycramblitt@comcast.net | Question | Linux | v2.3.9 | Modify the date of an entry? | Great program! Thank you.
Short of manually editing the logbook files, is there a way I can change the
date of an entry? I want to transfer my "Linux Journal", which I have been
writing as a regular document for several months, into elog so I can take
advantage of the threading, sorting, find, etc. |

You cannot change the entry date, since this is kind of system stamp which
should not be modified. But you can add an attribute like "Issue" for your
Linux Journal, where you can add manually the month and year of release or so.
Then you can preset this attribute with the current date, which you can change
for older issues, like
Attributes = ...., Issue
Preset Issue = $date
Date format = %B %Y
Hope this helps.

Yes! Thank you. But now another question. How can I hide the entry date
attribute on the summary screens and automatically sort by Issue? No point in
showing both dates. |

I figured out how to hide columns, using the "Display search" parameter. (BTW,
suggest you modify the Administrator manual to mention that "Display search" applies
to the initial display as well as any "Find"s. I had seen this, but assumed it
only applied to actual search results.) Still have not figured out how to change
the default sort attribute however. |

Fully agree. The name comes from historical reasons. I renamed "Display search"
to "List Display". Will come in the next version.

There is a little trick to do that:
Start page = ?rsort=Issue
Since sorting is done only lexically, you need a special date format like
Date format = %Y %m %d
in order to sort correctly. |

Thanks again! That did the trick. One little hassle is that I had to go back and edit
all the Issue fields in my existing records so they would have the correct date format.
