icon5.gif   Redirect to wrong hostname, posted by Neil Swartz on Sun Dec 12 17:46:39 2004 
I have a computer that has a different idea of its name from the DNS 
server. When I run ELOG and someone clicks "Search" I get a page not found.
I tried starting with "-n <hostname>", but elog still uses gethostname.
The example is that DNS says my machine is "abc.company.com" and netstat -
a says elog is listening on 8080 abc.personaldomain.com

Here is the code from elogd.c:

   /* get host name for mail notification */
   gethostname(host_name, sizeof(host_name));
   phe = gethostbyname(host_name);
   if (phe != NULL)
      phe = gethostbyaddr(phe->h_addr, sizeof(int), AF_INET);
   /* if domain name is not in host name, hope to get it from phe */
   if (strchr(host_name, '.') == NULL && phe != NULL)
      strcpy(host_name, phe->h_name);

I think you should be using tcp_hostname instead of gethostname if it is 
specified.
icon5.gif   Find using multiple values with MOptions, posted by Neil Swartz on Sat Jan 8 16:40:04 2005 
I have a logbook with an attribute that has a number of fixed values. I 
use MOptions to prevent typos when entering and allow multiple "keywords".
When searching the users can only search on one keyword.
Is there any way to search on multiple values (AAA|BBB|CCC)? If I do not 
use MOption, they can do this, but the users entering logs may mistype the 
keywords.
icon4.gif   MOptions and Extendable, posted by Neil Swartz on Sat Jan 8 17:31:07 2005 
If an attribute uses MOptions and is also extendable, clicking "Add 
<attribute name>" and entering a value adds the value to the MOptions, but 
does not put the value into the log entry. The log record has that 
attribute blank.
You have to go back into the record and edit it to put the new value in.

Yes, I can use the Text: search, but I still have the mistyping problem. (My 
field values are like "ENA, ETB, HRES, etc.) -- Easy to have a typo.

Currently there is a dropdown when searching for MOption fields. Maybe you could 
allow multiple selections in the dropdown. This to me is an "OR" search.

Try: (From monster.com)
<SELECT NAME="lid" multiple size="5">
<OPTION VALUE=""> ------- Select all -------- </OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="323">Alabama-Anniston</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="324">Alabama-Birmingham</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="325">Alabama-Mobile/Dothan</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="328">Alabama-Montgomery</OPTION>
...
</SELECT>

Although this may not be supported in all browsers. (I think recent versions of 
Netscape and IE support it)
icon4.gif   Space in logbook name with password list results in "List" menu acting strange, posted by Neil Swartz on Tue Feb 22 01:24:41 2005 
If you have a space in a logbook name and you enable password list, then 
the "List" menu option forces you to the login page each time.
The URL says "aaa+bbb", but when you do not have passwords enabled, the 
URL is "aaa bbb"
