Can you email a thread of log entries. I think this would be a very useful function, which would enable the logger in effect to send an entire history of a particular issue to the interested parties.

Well, kind of. If you notify yourself with elog entries, they are grouped in a thread in your email application. From there you can forward the thread to someone. Or you forward the link to one entry in the thread, and if the link is the opened, the interested parties see the whole link. Sending the whole thread inside elog is however not possible. |

Yes, of course I mean '$entry time', sorry for the misspelling. |
Well, we really appreciate the way you keep adding features and making improvements. I thought you might have slipped a new one in! |
FYI, I think there's a little bug in the datetime vs $date implementation.
Here's a section of my config file implementing a "Last Edit" field:
Type Last Edit = datetime
Preset Last Edit =$date
Locked Attributes = Last Edit
Subst on edit Last Edit = $date
Start page = ?rsort=Last Edit
I expected that "Preset Last Edit =$date" would set Last Edit to the current date when I create a new entry. In fact that leaves the field empty, or at least not in datetime format.
I found that using this instead works:
Preset Last Edit =$entry time
which seems contradictory since
Subst on edit Last Edit = $date
works fine. |

Several drop down menu's for a field, posted by Niall Dooley on Sat Nov 22 13:08:59 2008
|
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to have several drop down menus associated with a particular field. My problem is as follows, currently I have a particular field where its value is a name of a person obtained from a list of names from a drop down menu. However, I would like to be able to select on certain occasions more than one name from this same drop down list of names.
The field name in question is "Call-out" as in the name of a person called out. I guess I could add another field say "Call-out 2" and have a drop down menu of names for this new field too but I would like to avoid this if possible. So I would like possiby to have two (or more) drop down menus side by side for this Call-out field which would each populate this one field with the names selected (if any) from each drop down menu. This way if only an a selection is made from the first drop down menu then it should work as it does currently but if an entry was also selected from the second drop down menu then both names should populate the field when the log is complete.
I hope I have been clear in my question/request? Many thanks in advance for any help or suggestions received. |

Try
Moptions = name1, name2, ...
This gives you not a drop down list, but a series of check boxes, where you can select multiple persons simultaneously. |

Hi Stefan,
Your suggestion of emailing a link for a log entry with which any interested parties open the link are able to see the entire thread works. However, it does not display the additional text which may be added in the text box below the standard field entries. To view this additional text would require the email recipiant to log into the elog account. The only problem with this is the interested parties may not have the priviledges to log into the elog account. Thanks for your time. |

You could implemente guest read-only access to the logbook (like for this forum). |

Export of entries, posted by William De La Vega on Mon Nov 24 18:03:54 2008

I would like to export several entries out of a logbook I have with a specific subject.
I need to send these entries to someone who does not have elog nor can they install it.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Bill |

Yes. Go to the "find" page, select your subject, check "CSV", "XML" or "RAW" and click on search. |
