I attempted to remove the text editor (like you did in "Demo of database-like elog") using  "Show text = 0".

In both your Demo and my logbook when you hit  "New"  - Explorer generates the folowing error message

        Error: The Textarea with id or name set to "text" was not found.

Is there a solution or do we just live with it.

Thanks,    Mike

Click on Find, then select Export to: ..., then click Search.  I know it's a bit hidden, but this way one can restrict the subset of entries to be exported.

Hi guys,

Is there any simple way to export the ELOG data in a more readable way, except copying the .log files????

Thank You in advance,

Urian.

Sure such a think can be implemented, but I have no time right now to do so. I will put it on the wish list.

I'm (ab)using elog as a database and would like to use conditional attributes, like:

Attributes = PC Name, Operating System, Version, Distribution
Options Operating System = Linux{1}, Windows{2}
{1} Show Attributes Edit = Operating System, Distribution, PC Name
{2} Show Attributes Edit = Operating System, PC Name, Version

Problem is that there are several conditions and the list of attributes is rather long. Also, since it's a
rather dynamic environment I have to make new attributes all the time, and adding them to all "show attributes"
 lists is not only tedious, but bound to cause errors as well.
 

So... 

I was thinking, would it be an idea to make the list of attributes to be shown or hidden on a per attribute base.

 

Like:

Attributes = PC Name, Operating System, Version, Distribution

# hide specific attributes
Hide attributes = Distribution, PC Name

# or configure which fields should be shown allways
Show Attributes = Operating System, Version

# add attributes based on OS
Options Operating System = Linux{1}, Windows{2}
{1} Show Attribute Edit = Distribution
{2} Show Attribute Edit = PC Name

(just thinking out loud here).

You could write a shell script, run it through cron and send mail from that. (even in windows I assume)

The easiest is to put a horizontal line into the entry ...

...like this one. This can even be done via "Preset text =" so it comes by default on a new entry.

When you use the ImageMagick package, attached images are scaled to a predefined size using the option "Thumbnail size = ...". See the documentation for that option for details.
