Hello,

I try to have two Extendable options : Client and Equipment
so here is the line in my elogd.cfg
Extendable options = Client, Equipment

When I create a new entrie, I have the 2 scroll menus(Client and 
Equipment) and the 2 buttons(Client and Equipment) but i can't create 2 
news entries, i must create one for client, after I submit, I edit one 
more time and add a new equipement. Is there a solution for this?

Thanks a lot and sorry for mistakes or problem of comprehension i'am 
french :)

I found two potential memory leaks which I fixed in the git version, so you can try again.

Another possibility, which is actually preferred, is to limit the size of the subject filed to a reasonable number. You can do that with following option

Format subject = 0, attribname, attribvalue, 80, 200

This shows the subject line with a width of 80 characters, but does only allow 200 characters to be entered there.

Best,
Stefan

Just tested, and it works! Many thanks for very quick patch!

Yes, that is a good suggestion, I'll implemented it.

Many thanks again!

Maybe consider using the options -W -Wall when compiling elogd.
There are several warning messages.

I downloaded the last elog-3.1.5-1.tar.gz to install elog.

All *.cxx files are missing.

Originally, all information about our machines was stored in a spreadsheet with one sheet for the hardware of the machines and one for the software. By now, I've sucessfully moved the software part to an elog logbook and am now looking at transferring the hardware part as well.

As both lists are machine-name based, one of the options would be to merge both lists, as this would place all machine-related info into one logbook. The downside of this is that I get so many columns in list view that the result is quite unwieldy. Hence, I would like to hide some columns - ideally creating a "hardware view" and a "software view".

From the documentation, the only option I could find that seemed suitable was "List conditions". Unfortunately, I do not quite understand from the manual how this is supposed to work, so I'm quite possibly doing something wrong. I've tried this:

; General settings
List conditions = 1

; Attributes
Attributes = Type, Created, StatusA, StatusB, Archived

; Options & Tooltips
Options Type = Type1{10}, Type2{11}

; Conditionals
{10}List display = Edit, Type, Created, Status
{11}List display = Edit, Type, Created, StatusA, StatusB, Archived

but no matter how I set "Type", it does not seem to have any effect on the List display. One thing I don't understand for example is how does elog decide in List view which entry sets the condition? If all entries are set to the same value (in this example e.g. "Type1")? The first entry? Or am I missing something altogether?

Also, if there are alternative ways how I could accomplish my goal, I'd also be most grateful for suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

It seems when I use "reply" with an attachments, the original attachments of
the message are removed.

I use elog-2.3.5
