Hi,

I just implemented a different way CSS files are handled in ELOG. Previously, we had the default.css, which could be adjusted for specific needs. Some people did that (like myself). So I changed a few colors etc. When I now implement a new feature in elog, it might need a new CSS class which I put in default.css. But this means that people who have modified this file get it either overwritten, or do not get the new styles.

In order to fix this, the default.css is now called elog.css and is always inluded in any ELOG page. If one specifies a CSS file with "CSS = <file.css>", then this CSS file is loaded in addition to elog.css. So one can put only the modifications into that file and inherits all the rest from elog.css. If new features come in elog.css, the installation with the personalized CSS file will then get the new features from the new elog.css automatically, and just overwrite a few settings in the personalized file. Here is an example:

elog.css:

td {
  color:black;
  font-size:12px;

}

Personalized file special.css, activated with "CSS = special.css" in the elogd.cfg file:

td {
  font-size:18px;
}

This personalized file now overwrites the font size from elog.css to 18 pixel, while maintaining all the rest from elogd.css.

The modification is committed to GIT and will be contained in the next release of elog.

There are browser extensions for that like "Autofill Forms" for Firefox. You can even link text templates to a single key.

OK Thanks

I was trying to save the operator repeatedly typing in standard messages.

I acknowledge these two bugs and will fix them soon.

I am one who received an email every time there is a new entry in this forum.

I have just noticed that since May 20, every email contains the message "An old ELOG entry has been updated: "

whereas before that date, the vast majority say "A new ELOG entry has been submitted: "

Is this something to do with the saving of draft messages?

Talking of which, I see my draft of this message shows up in the forum before I have submitted it.

No.

Can the chosen text in a dropdown menu be automatically transfered (copied) to this Text box?

Ok, done.
