This can be solved with something like "Subst <attr> = $shell(cmd...) where cmd calculates a new value of attr, as a function of #, when attr does not already have a value. This thread is closed.

After I moved an item from one logbook to another one I cannot reply on this item anymore.

When the submit button is clicked it returns: Submit not allowed

This eLog server running Linux is sync'd with an server running Windows XP.

On the windows server the funcionality is working perfect(so no Submit is not allowed on a reply)

Check your configuration file for the destination logbook, probably you have only restricted rights there ("Guest menu", "Login user" ???) 

I just reworked the "Subst" command to make it more consistently. Now "Subst on Edit" and "Subst on Reply" are executed after the entry submission,  and they are mutually exclusive. So all you need right now is

Subst Tag = #

and it will not increment when editing or replying to an existing entry. The fix is in SVN revision 2264.

Just try with the current version, where I reworked the "Subst" commands. See elog:66592. "Subst" work now only on "New", and "Subst on Edit" only works when editing an entry.

 Thanks a lot for doing this change.

Hi Stefan,

I must have seen this before, but only just "noticed" it.

If you attach a picture or pdf to the first entry in a tread, there is then a paperclip after the thread display
line.  This shows up in threaded view or collapsed threaded view.

If you then attach a picture or pdf to a subsequent entry, the paperclip icon does not show up in threaded
display, (it is still there on the initial entry) but if the attachment is to the latest entry it shows up in
treaded collapsed display (collapse on last=1, of course).  If collapse on last=0, then initial entry shows on
threaded, collapsed, and that has the icon as expected.

When the icon does show, you can click on it and get the correct attachment to show/launch reader or whatever.

It would appear to be a bug that the attachment icon does not appear in the threaded display (for any entry
other than the initial one).

(sorry about the first posting, hit the wrong key sequence in error)

I may have made this sound as if the issue occurs if the first entry in a thread has an attachment; in fact it
happens whether or not there is an attachment to the first entry.

Hope this makes matters a bit clearer.
