What will the configuration line be?


If you have
MOptions item = value_1, value_2

you can do a
Tooltip value_1 = text


Thanks Stefan,

When implemented there seems to be a finite number of characters that are visible under a tool tip, is this an OS defined limit or something that can be changed?

ELOG itself has a limit of 256 characters, but that can be changed easily. I found that Mozilla Firefox only showed 70 characters and then three dots ("..."), while Internet Explorer showed all 256 characters, wrapping words if necessary. So it strongly depends on the browser.



Thanks, we use Internet Explorer in service but I tested using Mozilla (hence above).
I'd really like to be able change the limit to more than 256 characters, is this simply a configuration parameter or a code change?

It is a code change. I increased it to 10000 chars in revision 1766, it will be contained in the next release.


Thx Stefan, I can write a book in there now! ;o))

Hi Stefan,

Many thanks for implementing this feature, it is very useful and works very well, I can't seem to get the Tooltips to show up using the 'ROptions' (radio buttons) though? Could you check if it is available for this please?

Thx

Hello,

when I try to set above 112 email addresses in
"Email All = ..."
the Elog service will crash with the error ntdll.dll or memory addresses x0000000.
This problem does not happen when I reduce the number of email addresses.

Have you had the same problem?


I fixed that crash in the current version, but there is actually a limit of 100 email addresses. So anyhow you won't get the 12 ones above 100. I will try to increase that limit in the next version of elog.


Hi Stefan,

I'm also having a problem in the latest version with Elog crashing with multiple email addresses.
I am using 'MOptions' for email list selection using the execute shell script to send a predefined list (ie. the email list is in a text file not in the Elog config).
It seems when the list contains exactly 9 addresses it causes Elog to crash with a failure similar to An's, any less or any more and they are sent fine? Also when certain combinations of multiple list selections are made the Elog process will also crash? I am running the Elog process as an application (ie. not as a service, as per An's workaround) as it's the only way I can get the -x switch to work with Windows, this means the Elog daemon has to be manually restarted. Running WinXP SP2.
Any suggestions?

Thx

Did I tell that it also works with 'ROptions' ??? It does not! I implemented this just now in revision 1788. The fix will be contained in the next release.


Sorry, just checking. Happy
Many thanks Stefan Big grin
  2283   Sat Jun 30 04:58:32 2007 Question Grant Jeffcotegrant@jeffcote.orgBug reportWindows2.65-2Fixed Attribute fields blank?
Hi Stefan,

Not sure if this is my configuration only but in your latest compiled release V2.6.5-1873 when I do a reply or edit on an entry where I have specified Fixed Attributes Edit or Reply these fields now show blank on the entry page? They are still uneditable as a field of course and the text still shows on the list view display page but no text shows in these fields until re/submitted.

Is this a new feature or just mine, reverting back to the previous release restores normality ;o)

I'm playing with attributes right now since I'm going to implement a "multiple edit", where one can change attributes of several entries at the same time, but I cannot reproduce your problem with V2.6.5-1874 and this config file:
[demo]
Attributes = Author, Subject
Fixed Attributes Edit = Subject
Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject

Either I fixed it accidentally between 1873 and 1874 or it is config file related. Can you try that version and the little config file above? Since you use Windows, I made a elog265-3 for you. If you find that the little config works and your's doesn't, please send me your config.


Great job, thanks Stefan.
Accidental fix, new version works perfectly without any config file change.
