Preset on reply Author = $long_name

My elog has this config for the author:

Option Author = Filled In Automatically
Preset Author = $Long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

This works as intended: when you submit a new entry, the author name is filled in automatically and cannot be changed.

However, when Alice wants to post a reply to an entry the Bruce has made, the preset author name does not say Alice, it says Bruce. I haven't been able to find out how to change this (other than make the author name editable). Even when Author isn't configured as as locked attribute, it still displays the original author's name.

How can I get this to work like I want/need to?

1a. If you go to the "Find" form, you can add filters on several attribute. The URL of the result page can be bookmarked: this is your filter.

1b. If you define quick filters on FROM and TO, then you can enter filters on both.

2. If you start elogd with the -x option, then you can execute scripts in the "subst" and "subst on edit" commands. Within those shell scripts you can use $START TIME and $STOP TIME to calculate the attributes value. Look for the "Subst" command in the documentation.

If you have the following elogd.cfg:

Attributes = START, END, DURATION
subst DURATION = $shell( /usr/local/elog/diff.sh \"$START\" \"$END\")
Show Attributes Edit = START, END

And the shell script /usr/local/elog/diff.sh is:

#!/bin/sh
s1=$(date -d "$1" +%s)
s2=$(date -d "$2" +%s)
d=$(echo "($s2-$s1)/3600"|bc -lq)
printf "%.0f hours" $d

Then DURATION is calculated from START and END in full hours.

It appears that if you define START and END as "datetime", then only the date part would be passed to the script. This may is a bug of elogd: Stefan, have you ever tried?

I tried that It is not calculating  and it is giving the error "Shell execution not enabled via -x flag ".I started elogd -x from command prompt  it still gives the same error.

Yes, I forgot to mention that you need to enable shell script execution by starting the server with "elogd -x".

Before you start elogd from the command line you need to shutdown any running elogd; otherwise the port is blocked and the command line elogd cannot start: "sudo /sbin/service elogd stop"

From Linux you can edit instead /etc/init.d/elogd and add there the option "-x" to the line where "elogd" is started and then restart the service: "sudo /sbin/service elogd restart".
