  1806   Wed Apr 12 19:22:34 2006 Question Sridhar Anandakrishnansak@essc.psu.eduQuestionAll Can a field value be calculated during display?
I have a logbook which is a Calendar/Appointment book with Attributes: "Appointment DateTime", Place, etc.

I would like another Attribute called "When" whose value is calculated from Today's Date - Appointment date (so for example I could display today's appointments in red...). This calculation has to take place each time the logbook is displayed...

Possible? Useful?

Thanks,
Sridhar.

No.

ELOG is an electronic logbok and should not be used as a full calendar application. There are much better packages for that, like PHP groupware. Better use one of those packages.

Is there anyway to reattach a reply within a logbook from one logentry to another? I guess it would be "re-associate"?

Is it possible to have the text field be the same color as the other attributes in the summary display? What I mean is how each line is a different color, but the text field is always white. I would like the text field to match the rest. I changed the .summary in the css file but it changes all the text fields, it doesn't allow them to alternate colors like the other fields on the summary display

Playing with elog for a day made me very happy. I was looking for a webbased thingy to support list building for 'Getting Things Done' by David Allen ( David Allen's Getting Things Done ).
Elog is simple, intuitative and very powerfull!
Less informative is the fact that i found no bugs till now Frown
On usablitity..maybe some more control over the dialog..eg the 'in between' screens (eg after a move...the 'to which log i would like to resume' question)...or have an option to be in select mode by default.
Tnx

No, this is not possible directly. You would have to make a new reply, and manually fill in the contents from the original reply. It is however possible by directly tampering the ELOG files, but that should be done only by experienced users.

Kind of what I thought but needed to ask. I think I'll leave things as they are. Thanks!
  1813   Tue May 2 22:58:48 2006 Question Mark Bergmanmark.bergman@uphs.upenn.eduQuestionLinux2.6.1Is it possible to require certain attributes for specific users (guests)?
First of all, thanks for writing and maintaining eLog.

I've been using it for a few years, but I'm now introducing it in an environment that may have a lot of "Guest"
accounts.

I'd like to have two "Required Attributes" when a guest enters a new entry; their name and e-mail address. These
fields don't need to be required for registered accounts, since that information is available already.

Is there any way to have conditional statements act on the value of $short_name?

Thanks,

Mark
