Triggering $shell question, posted by Steve Jones on Wed Apr 5 20:25:42 2006
|
Should this work? rev1684 now allows $shell to pass attribute contents to the shell command and whenever a new entry is submitted or when one Edits/Replys the Subst is triggered, but I would like to be able to trigger this whenever a new value in the options pulldown is selected (assume Risk2 and Risk3 are identical to Risk1). Being able to trigger a regular Preset works fine (like {1} preset Date = $date ) but I would like to trigger the Subst. Maybe a better question, what actions (Subst, Preset, Change, Execute, etc.) I've tried Subst and Preset but not much luck.

# Define Risk1

Options Risk1 = 10{30}, 20{31}, 30{32}, 40{33}, 50{34}, 60{35}, 70{36}, 80{37}, 90{38}, 100{39}
{30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39} Subst TotalRisk = $shell(gawk 'BEGIN{ print $Risk1 + $Risk2 + $Risk3 }' )

Hmm, maybe I can answer my own question - until the form is saved with the new value selected the old values still exist. I guess what I really need is to trigger the $shell anytime a save happens or logentry is pulled in for edit. I think I do the latter with Subst on edit/Subst on Reply, but how on any save?
. . . Except that when I change an options field that has a dependencies, doesn't the javascript force a server-side revalidation? |

TIMEZONE modifier?, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Apr 10 05:34:40 2006
|
We host eLog for a number of global sites. Our logbooks use datetime attributes but the timezones are wrong attributes that are either preset (like when a logentry is created) or if we fill in an attribute from an action (like when a logentry is closed). Any possibility of adding a timezone designator to FORMAT or does one already exist?
Thanks! |
How can I configure to prevent empty entries?, posted by Alan Stone on Mon Apr 10 20:28:37 2006
|
I have accidentally created a couple of entries recently. It is pretty easy. I
fill in the header, type in a Subject, and then hit Enter, instead of TAB.
I have turned off the edit option intentionally.
I want to avoid this in the future. Is there a configuration option which would
confirm that the user before submitting an entry without a Body? I know I can require
attributes like Author and Subject. I am not sure I want to require a Body, in case
someone submits an entry with just an attachment (and a Subject).
Thanks, Alan |

Any way to move Replies from one logentry to another?, posted by Steve Jones on Fri Apr 14 16:30:56 2006

| Is there anyway to reattach a reply within a logbook from one logentry to another? I guess it would be "re-associate"? |

No, this is not possible directly. You would have to make a new reply, and manually fill in the contents from the original reply. It is however possible by directly tampering the ELOG files, but that should be done only by experienced users. |

Kind of what I thought but needed to ask. I think I'll leave things as they are. Thanks! |

Actually the submit/edit behavior is controlled by your browser, not by elog. I do not know any mean of how the HTML code could control this independently of the browser. So you have to get used to it  |
