Yoshio Imai wrote: | There is one question regarding the "Find" function of the elog. Clicking onto "Search" takes the user to the list view on only those entries that match the search conditions. Since we use the list view in "Full" mode by default, this usually is enough to give us an overview of the event we looked for.
Is there a more direct way to get back to the unfiltered list view than selecting an entry and go to "List" or using "Find" again and clicking on "Back"? |
I can easily add another button for that, will put it on the wish list. |

| Carlos Mateo | cmateo@indra.es | Question | Windows | 2.6.0beta5 | Automatic creation of new entry in another logbook |
Hi
I am trying to create an entry in logbook2 when I submit a new entry in logbook1. The automatically created entry in logbook2 will have a reference to the entry that created it.
So far I have tried several ways:
1.- Using the "Execute new" I call elog to create the second entry. As the server is single-process, it locks: elog is waiting for elogd to be ready and elogd is waiting for elog to finish to accept new requests.
As my server is on a Windows machine I can´t execute elog on background.
2.- I tried to run 2 servers on different ports using the same elogd.cfd file, calling the second server from elog. This "almost" works: the logbook files are updated, but the original server must be restarted to "see" the changes.
3.- Using the "Menu text" option, I create a link to create the new entry. The problem is that attributes are not parsed: a link like this <a href="/logbook2/?cmd=New&pAttr=Value $ID">Test</a> won´t substitute $ID
Is there a way to do what I want?
TIA,
Carlos |

| Ulrich Trüssel | ulrich.truessel@familienhund.ch | Question | Windows | 2.6.0beta5 | Changing width in entry mode |
I'd like to change the width of the display when entering a new record. But I didn't find the right way after trying some time:Problem: see pic "Eingabe.jpg", if thre are more MOptions to select in entry mode, I have to scroll from right to left all the time. Ti s isn't really comfortable.Is there any option to fix the widht of the entry screen to a fix width in pixels or to the screen width? "Ausgabe.jpg" as ex., so multiple moptions would be arranged on multiple lines like in the display mode for the record.I checked the flags as well as the CSS but didn't find a solution. But maybe anybody has the right idea?To have a flag or someting to switch between the two entry modes would be fantastic and give a lot more of flexiblity for adaption to different sizes of screens.Thank's a lot for any idea! |

| Yoshio Imai | | Question | Linux | 2.6.0beta5 | Passive elog mirrors |
Hi!Is it possible to install a "passive" elog mirror? We want to allow members of another institute to browse our logbook, but the connection is rather slow. The idea is now to set up an elog mirror at their site for faster access. Still, we should be the only ones who can add and edit the entries, so the update mechanism needs to be restricted in one direction. Is this possible at all? I didn't find any clues on that in the documentation ...ThanksYoshio |

Please tell me for what purpose you need two identical logbooks. Maybe what you want can be achieved in a simpler way.

Have you tried to start your elog with the start command under Widnows, like start elog .... This is the equivalent of starting a process in the background under linux.

This is because you use the same data directory for both servers. If one server writes a new entry to a file, the other server does not realize this. Only when you restart it, it rescans the whole data directory and gets aware of the new entry. Try using separate data directories for the two servers.

Parsing attributes is not implemented and therefore will not work. |

I had a nowrap statement in the MOptions check boxes, which should not be there. I removed that and now the options are wrapped nicely:The problem is that in HTML, the check boxes and the associated text are sometimes ripped apart, i.e. the box appears at the right corner and the text at the next line. That's why I had the nowrap statement there.This fix will be contained in the next release of elog. |

This is not implemented directly, but you can achieve it in several ways:

Thank you Stefan!!!
Just as an idea: Some People may find it usefull to have the norap statement in the code. If it's possible for a future release it may be nice to have a flag for this feature! |
