If I have a logbook that will let both registered users Anonymous users post. I would like the author attribute to default to the value in $long_name but if the post is Anonymous display a default text string "Anonymous". Is it possible to do this?

Maybe it is a wrong configuration, because in this forum it works well.
If I change the encoding in the logbook entry I get "Submit modified ELOG entry?",
and after clicking OK the entry is closed. Because this behavior is on all loggbooks
it must be a global config entry, but I dont know, which.
Here is the GLOBAL section:

  1789   Tue Apr 4 06:18:18 2006 Question Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comRequest 2.6.1Simple math within an elog form
This may sound a little strange but I am trying to determine if it is possible to create a series of attributes that may be assigned an integer value via OPTIONS, and then take the selected values and perform some simple math and display the result. For example:

What we are trying to do is create a simple form that helps a person assign a risk value to a series of identified risks

Attributes = risk1, risk2, risk3, totalrisk
Type risk1 = numeric
Type risk2 = numeric
Type risk3 = numeric

OPtions risk1 = 10, 20, 30
Options risk2 = 10, 20 , 30
OPtions risk3 = 10, 20 , 30

Subst totalrisk = $risk1+$risk2+$risk3

I suppose I could use $shell to do this but I was trying to stay away from $shell for security reasons.

Thanks
  1796   Wed Apr 5 20:25:42 2006 Question Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comQuestionAll2.6.1-1684Triggering $shell question
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 }' )

  1799   Thu Apr 6 20:24:06 2006 Question Yoshio ImaiQuestionLinux2.6.1-1671elog client authentication and attachment comment
Hi again!

I have two questions, one concerning authentication methods for the elog client. Until revision 1642, it was possible to submit entries to a password-protected logbook using the elog client without supplying authentication information. With revision 1671 this is no longer possible. In principle this is good. However, many of our run control programs use the elog client (via rsh to the elog server computer) to submit automatic entries, which fails now. In order for this mechanism to work again, we would have to change the command-line call in the sources, including now the password in clear text. Since this can be considered a security issue, we would like to avoid it if at all possible. I guess my request would go in the direction of PAM support, but would it be possible to revert to the old behaviour as an option? (If you tell me where in the code to look, we could probably also comment out the respective lines ourselves so that you don't have extra work...)

The second remark is about attachment comments. When editing a logbook entry, the attachment upload buttons appear again, but without the comment. Shouldn't it be there, too?

Thanks,

Yoshio
  1802   Mon Apr 10 05:34:40 2006 Question Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comRequestAll2.6.1-1684TIMEZONE modifier?
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!
