resending information confirmation box after refresh interval, posted by Ken Ludington on Mon Nov 16 20:42:15 2015
|
After submitting a new post, if the page is left completely alone,, it will after a few minutes prompt that the page needs to resend information.
This is the same prompt you'd get if you attempt to refresh a page that had session variables passsed to it. Example is attached.
Is there something in my config that could cause this? This is a fresh install of the latest verison however my elogd.cfg file has been migrated throuh many installs over many versions, so it's very possible this is something following along.
thanks. |
Re: author field in reply, posted by Ken Harvey on Tue Jun 19 04:02:43 2012

I am a newbie to being the administrator to ELog, but have used it for a while now. We just updated and have the same issue with the reply now. Unfortunatley I am not much of a programmer, yet, still learning. In our config file it has "Preset Name = $long_name", "Preset Author = $long_name", "Preset on reply Author = $long_name". By looking in the Syntax of elogd.cfg section, it seems to be correct, but I am not sure. Can you give me a suggestion on how it should look? Or tell me why it is not working and lead me in the right direction on how to correctly set it up? Thank you for your time. |

A common mistake is to think that "Author" is some kind of keyword: it is not.
You can use any defined attribute, if you want to use "Author" this attribute needs to be defined in the "Attributes=" command line.
Attributes = Author, ...
Then you can use the "Preset" command.
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name
I've just tested it with 2.9.0-2435 and it works fine.
If the following 4 line minimal logbook configuration does not work for 2.9.1, then please post again:
Attributes = Author
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
Cheers

Thanks Andreas,
That cleared up a lot for me. With your information I was able to figure it out. I got rid of the Author and just went with Name, and now it all works good.
Again, thanks for your help,

attribute of type "datetime" sorted incorrectly, posted by Kees Bol on Wed Jul 27 16:46:44 2005
|
In order to enter different logdates we created the attribute 'Logdate' as follows:
...
Attributes = Logdate, Author, Type, Subject
Type Logdate = datetime
Preset Logdate = $date
List Display = ID, Logdate, Author, Type, Subject
Start page = ?rsort=Logdate
Time format = "%d-%b-%y %H:%M"
Date format = %d-%b-%y
...
However some unexpected things happen:
1) when sorting on Logdate the sorting is incorrect
2) I expected some kind of fieldchecking when filling this field, however you can enter any text.
What goes wrong here?
Thanks |

The wrong sorting is a mystery to me. I redid what you have, and entered exactly the same entries, and got following:

As you can see, the sorting is quite different. What happens if you reload the page, what if you restart elogd?
As for the missing validity check for the date field, all what was missing was the year check. I added that. |
Stefan, I think it has something to do with version 2.57-1. Yesterday evening I installed V2.60 and there was a big difference. All entries of Logdate were changed in 1-jan-70 and when entering/editing an entry I now get the calendar and clock. So everything, including sorting, looks good now.

"full" only changes color, posted by Kees Bol on Mon Aug 1 11:58:43 2005

Hi,
I have the strange problem that when changing to "full"-diplaymode the output looks the same as with "summary", only the color is different. The texts don't appear.
Any idea what can cause this behaviour?
thanks
