I have another attribute called Part that I've made extendable.

When I duplicate an entry, Last Edit is updated with the current date correctly. However, as soon as I click the Add Part button next to my extendable Part attribute, and the page reloads to show the entry box for the Part field, the Last Entry field is replaced with a "-".

I have to submit and then re-edit the entry to get Last Edit to have a valid value again.

 

 *EDIT*:

I noticed that any time the page reloads while in the entry screen this happens, e.g. by selecting plain instead of html format.

 

 Thanks for reporting that problem. It has been fixed in SVN revision 2156.

 

 Excellent! Thank you.

In the elogd.cfg file, you cannot have multi-line options. Either you put everything on a single line (I guess there is also some limit at a few hundred characters) or you call a batch file which then calls the mysql command.

Hello all,

 

i have a question to mysql inexecute:

This works:

Execute new = mysql -h localhost -u root -D test1 -e "insert into `test1` (author, type) values ('$Author', '$Type')"

This doesn't work:

Execute new = mysql -h localhost -u root -D test1 -e "insert into `test2` (Autor, Adressat, Teil1, Teil2, Teil3,
Teil4, Teil5, Teil6, Teil7, Teil8 )  values ('$Autor', '$Adressat' ,  '$Teil1', '$Teil2', '$Teil3', '$Teil4', '$Teil5',
'$Teil6', '$Teil7', '$Teil8' )"

 

db is okay, i have all checked this. My question is: can the execute-command take a multiline argument? Or perhaps does somebody see a mistake i have made in the execute-line?

 

Thanks!

Steve

When doing a Select->Edit operation, if an attribute has a type of "numeric" and the records selected already have (some) values for that attribute, then the "- keep original values -" message that is inserted to indicate that the values should be preserved causes the type check to fail.

Would it be possible to modify the Javascript that carries out the type check to treat the "- keep original values -" message as an exception?

 

 Thanks for reporting this. It has been fixed in SVN revision 2155. The fix will be contained in the next release.

Subst on Duplicate does not make sense. Subst always works after you submit an entry, while Preset works before you enter the entry. When you Duplicate an entry, it looks like a new one, just with attributes and text from another entry. So when you submit that one, the system cannot distinguish if you entered a new one by yourself or if this is based on a copy of another entry. So what you probably need is Preset on duplicate.

Thanks for explaining.

I thought Preset would work with Duplicate since Duplicate creates a new entry, but it didn't. Then I tried Subst because Duplicating an entry opens it in Edit mode, so you are in effect Duplicating, and then Editing the entry. It just didn't occur to me to look for Preset on Duplicate.
