Tobias Bagger wrote: | How do I preset a drop-down box entry which contains a % character? |
The problem was that '%' is used in auto-generated preset tags like XYZ-%Y-%b-### (see documentation). I made the auto-generation a bit more clever such that it only tries to interprete any '%' if there is any '#'. The fix is in elog version 2.6.4. |

For simple configuration files, that should work. If I have for example:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine{r}, Software Installation{s}, Problem Fixed{p}, Configuration, Other
{r} Required Attributes = Author
Then the attributes "Author" is only required if "Type" equals "Routine". |
you are right, I try to re-examine my configuration and I will say to you |

Martin Killenberg wrote: | I tried to compile ELOG on Scientific Linux Cern 4.4 and found that make quits because uname is not located in /usr/bin (like it is hardcoded in the makefile) but in /bin.
Later I found that this is only the case in the svn version, in the "latest.tar.gz" from 2007/02/20 the path is /bin.
Why do you have the absolute path in the Makefile? uname should be in the default path on any system. (The same applies to "rm")
I also was confused that you only provide one rpm Package (except for debian) without mentioning for which distribution. You try to avoid dependencies, but the elogd is linked against the basic libraries libc and ld-linux, which might vary. |
Ups. The hard-coded /usr/uname somehow sneaked in from some temporary test. I removed it in the current SVN.
Indeed the RPM package I provide is built under Scientific Linux. The Debian port is done by someone else. Unfortunately I don't have ten boxes with all possible distributions laying around, so my possibilities are quite limited and I depend on third party help. If you want to contribute additional RPMs you are welcome. |

Dear Stefan,
could you enable it for the install download file for Windows? |
I tried, but it does not work. A windows service does not let you start a internal command line shell. No way. Use Linux  |

the next thing happened was that eLog created a new log which wasn't editable at all, the only thing i could do was deleting it (i created a monster...;-)
The first line/rule with the [ become the title, all other entries in the Admin file were used as a new Admin file. |
You shot yourself in the foot 
I agree that a clever syntax check on the config file would be nice, but it's very hard to imagine how many mistakes humans (including myself) can do, I would probably never catch all possible wrong cases. Giving my limited time, I will more work on new features and kindly ask you to be a bit careful in what you enter. I'm absolutely sure you will never make this mistake again  |

Robert-Jan Schrijvers wrote: | This is my question: when i use the "search/find" page and select the first drop down menu "Locatie", the next field "Sessies" will not be displayed (and all following fields either). On the other hand, when i create a new entry, it works perfect, select "Locatie", field "Sessies" displays his content and so on. I hope that someone can help me with this. |
This was never meant to work like that. On the find page, conditional attributes are not evaluated for following reason: Assume you want to search for Orgus = ZGN. Currently you simply type ZGN in the Orgus field and you're done. With drop down lists, you first would have to select Locatie = extern, then Sessies = Risc/Bus/Sms Pro, and only then you could select Orgus = ZGN. That would require three steps. Technically it's however possible to implement what you want, but I would wait until more people request this. |

| An Thai | thaithan@gmx.de | Question | Windows | 2.6.4.1801 | Re: Conditional Email Notification by a text file | Dear Stefan,
what i mean is that you maybe modify the setup file for Windows (elog-latest.exe) so that everybody can make change of -[options] while install Elog. I am not a Windows expert, but I think that a lot of software can be set or configurated at the first install time (For Example: Path destination, features avaible, ...)
Do you know if it is possible? |

I don't know how to set-up the scheduled tasks from the installation script. Furthermore, having a application constantly running is somehow unusual, and it will confuse normal people. To my knowledge, not many people use the -x option under Windows. These people how really need it are clever enough (like you) to set-up the batch file manually. |
