That is the the problem the text does not resize with the window or sending to the printer.

As I told you, if you need that feature, stick to plain encoding.

First thing we have been using the Elog for 2 yr for a shift carryover and it has works out great.

Now for the problem I have. I heave the message width set to 80.  It works for plain Encoding but it does not work for HTML or ELCode. The text does not wrap around when viewing using Explorer or Fire Fox or printing out the Elog.  Is this a problem or do I need to modify the Config file?

Thanks

A limited message width does not make sense for HTML or ELCode encoding since the text is laid out by the browser dynamically when displaying messages. For example have a look at this very message in your browser, and resize your window. You will see that the text flows dynamically, so the line breaks move with the window size. Furthermore the text entry uses a variable width font, so a fixed line length would not result in line breaks at the same vertical position. Therefore the message entry size scales automatically with the browser window. If you need lines with fixed length, you can only do that in plain encoding.

First thanks for the great software! My only question would be how to implement audit trail feature. I know you can control who edits and that's great but in regulated environments like mine there's a requirement that the original record, the one edited, is not deleted or overwritten. If not possible right now the only thing I could think of is a mechanism, maybe possible thru configuration, that when the record is edited it is copied to an audit trail logbook (i.e. if logbook name is 'test' it's audit logbook will be named 'test-audit' which is read only) and have a link to the audit trail of the record (show only changes of the current record).

I'm more than aware that it's possible thru configuration but I'm short on that dept. Any help/idea?

Thanks in advance!

You can achieve this via replies. First you disable any edits on the original message by removing the Edit command via 'Menu commands' or by using 'Restrict edit time' appropriately. If someone wants to edit an entry, she or he makes a reply. If the original entry is formatted with ELCode, it will be enclosed by a [quote] tag, which can be easily removed. Then the text can be edited and submitted. This way you get the history of an entry in a chain of replies. That's the only way I see to accomplish this functionality.

Do I have to do any extra configuration in elog to enable the FCKeditor.

What I get with V2.7.0-1954 is that the main message entry field looks and behaves identically whether I set the encoding to HTML or plain (except the width and height of the field changes).

ELCode works as expected.  Message files saved with the encoding set to HTML have a line "Encoding: HTML", but no HTML markup.  Those saved with encoding set to plain have the line "Encoding: plain", but are otherwise identical.

I have the scripts directory as set up by "make install" containing the elcode.js file and the fckeditor subdirectory.  All are world readable.

Any hints about what could be the problem?

Thanks

Version 1954 is a bit old. Please update to the current SVN version and try again. There must be a file elog/scripts/fckeditor/fckeditor.js which was missing at some time.

Excellent, works as expected now, thanks.

Didn't realise how far behind the SVN version elog-latest.tar.gz is.

Hello,

I just made an update from version V2.7.0-1964 to V2.7.0-1985 and I am receiving now the error message Unknown toolbar item 'ShowBlocks' whenever creating or editing an entry.  When clicking onto Ok, everything seems to work fine. Can you help please? Error message occurs in Internet Explorer and also in Firefox.

Addition: The Show Blocks Symbol is missing

Thanks!

Uwe

There was an update of the FCKeditor which I forgot to include in the distribution. Please re-download elog270-3.exe and install it again. The new version of the editor will be included there and fix your problem.
