  65814   Sun Apr 6 06:17:00 2008 Question Peter Freemanpeter_free@gmx.deQuestionWindows Sticky entries?

Hi, I'm evaluate currently if we can use ELOG as an shiftbook. So far I like ELOG very much, but I got a question.

Is it possible to have sticky message entries? Entries that always show up on top of the others. Thats for important entries that are valit for multiple shifts. 

Have looked arround here, but could not find anything in that direction.

Many thanks for any answer.

Peter

Sorry, I overlooked your first question.

Sticky entries are not directly supported, but you can get the same (maybe even better) using following scheme:

- Use an attribute, like the "Type" in the example logbook, and add an option "Sticky"

- Use "quick filter = type". This shows up a filter box on the listing at the top right. If you select "Sticky" there, a listing with all sticky entries will show up.

- Use a different style for such an entry with "Style Type Sticky = background-color:red". This makes all sticky entries show up with a red background.

 

Danke Stefan, I check it out.

Hmm, I'd like to use the style command, but it has no effect if I put it into the config. If I understood it right, it should be done this way:

Options Status = Open, Info, Resolved, Suspended, Waiting, Important
Style Status Important = background-color:red
Style Status Resolved = background-color:green

They are just showing up with the default style. Am I doing something wrong?

 EDIT: Just downloaded the latest version and now it works. My old one was 2058, BUT, how can I change multiple styles, e.g. background and font color at the same time? Komma does not seem to work and two style lines also not.

Stefan,

I downloaded the latest source (ELOG V2.6.5-1946) to solve another problem. But now I get:

Error: "Attribute "Date" for quick filter not found", see attachment.

In the configfile I have: Quick filter = Date

A bug?

(It works fine, so it's not really a big problem.)

Hi, I would like to preset an attribute type useremail with $user_email but that does not work because $user_email contains mailto: like mailto:user_email@domain
Has anyone an idea how to resolve this problem?

Type Reporter = useremail
Preset Reporter = $user_email
  1849   Wed Jun 21 18:36:06 2006 Question Jeremy Perkinsperkins@egret.sao.arizona.eduQuestionLinux Hosts Allow and Password File
I'm trying to set up an elog that uses a password file using the "Password file = /blah" directive as well as the "Hosts allow = myhost.mydomain" directive. I used the -v command and watched the messages and elogd is recognizing that I am connecting from an allowed host but the login page is still appearing. Is there a way to use both of these?

Stefan,

Is there any way I might be able to initiate the 'copy to' function by selecting a 'tick box' (boolean) or conditional attribute choice in an entry page when submitting that page? We have a requirement where we run a main 'Operations' log and have another log with some entries needing to be in both (for additional actions etc). I understand the Operator can always manually use the 'Copy To' function after submitting the original entry but was wondering if there was some way a shell script (execute function?) or similar may be activated by a boolean or even a 'conditional' choice?

Thx


I put your request on the whishlist.


Thanks Stefan.


Hi Stefan,

Any progress on this whish?
We are evaluating Elog to use it as disaster management log so we need to be able to have several logs that merges into one big log where analytic people can see the whole picture/timeline of whats going on in one single logg.
It can very well be as easy as a elog command-line option that initiates the whole thing with the help of Cron/Sheduler but the best would of course be to copy the whole idea from the mirroring function also for the copy/move task.

....or if there is a possibility to write directly to other logs than the current one in the moment of saving the entry....

Best,

Pelle
