Thanks for the reply Stefan and thanks for making this program available - where can we send a donation?

When I click 'InsertLink' in the FCKeditor I get an 'Explorer User Promp' popup asking me to enter the name of the hyperlink.  After I enter the name I get 'Enter URL of hyperlink'.  Typically I want to link to a file on a mapped drive but I would prefer to browse to the file location and select the file rather than type it in.

How do I set a default list option?
 I have an attribute called Active with options yes, no
When I do a list I want to see just the records having yes.
When required, the quick filter allows me to see records with option = no or all the records.
Thanks

Hello,

I just upgraded to elog 2.7.5 from 2.6.4 on my Debian system. Here is some feedback:

1) "make" fails if libssl-dev package is not installed. Documentation does not mention SSL library requirements.

2) /etc/init.d/elogd: line 10: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: No such file or directory (I fixed this by commenting
out that line).

3) Starting elogd: /etc/init.d/elogd: line 34: echo_success: command not found (Fixed by search/replace "echo_"
to "echo ").


Hope this helps.

George.

That makes sense. Might be worth adding a short Debian section to the installation instructions page?

FYI, Elog is no longer in Debian as of 2008-05-12.


Thanks,

George.

For our application we have a lot of very common events we would like to log.  It would be preferable that for certain events/entries we could setup a single button / quick entry method.  Is there away to accomplish this?

Hi Stefan
Thanks for your reply
Can i check , with the new snap shot , can i disable the capability for the admin 
to delete the logbook and create new logbook
I tried with the config -
Allow Delete the logbook = admin 
 but cannot , please advise

And As for the id , can i have the month and the day in the id , what is the 
corresponding field for just the month and day , if there is .

And is there a way to prevent preset value get overwritten when user do a reply
Example , i preset a field with 
Preset test = "9v"
so when the user submit , it will have 9v and they may have enter some following 
value. but when a user reply , the test field get reset back to 9v

Thanks

Hi Stefan 
YOu have been a great help on the Elog problem solving .
I have another sort of bug , when i have a attribute type as date.
And i have fixed the attribute on reply , i actually get a string of 
number when i reply , and the date becomes not the orginal date in the 
first message.

So the way i work ard is that i did not place the date field in the fixed  
attribute reply which i will run the risk of pple modifying that entry .
Can this be fix?

Thanks
