icon5.gif   quick filter, posted by Willem Koster on Wed Sep 5 15:05:52 2007 
Greetings,

Last night we updated to 2.6.5 and now the <ENTER>-key on the "quick filter" searches won't work anymore in 
internet exporer (@windows). I have to use the <TAB>-key now to get the results.

The ENTER-key still works under firefox (Windows & linux) and opera (at least under linux, because 
opera@windows refuses to log me on .. whatever) and I would like to see it come back to internet explorer as 
well.

Regards,
Willem Koster

I've observed the same behavior with attributes containing a dash. Would it be possible to allow '-' in attributes?

icon5.gif   extendable options, posted by Arno Teunisse on Sat Oct 13 15:32:23 2007 debug_screen.txtelog.JPG
Hello
running ELOG V2.6.5-1890
Snap of the config file :
=======================
; attributes
Attributes = OS, Version, Klant , Category, Subject
Options OS = AIX{1}, HP-UX{2} , Redhat{3} , Suse{4}, Fedora{5}, SUN{6}
Options Category = Documentation, disk , network , software , backup , boot,
Options Klant = None, Cust1 , Cust2 , Cust3 , Cust4, Cust5
{1} options Version = 4.3, 5.1 , 5.2 ,5.3
{2} options Version = 10.20, 11.11, 11.23
{3} options Version = 4.0
{4} options Version = 10.0
{5} options Version = 5.0,6.0,7.0
{6} options Version = 5.6,5.7,5.8,5.9,5.10
extendable Options = Category, Klant, OS , Version
============ end of snap


When I click the "Add Version" button Elog end's with a "Internal error, no
valid header!" after hitting the submit button. ( See attachments )

An other problem is when I add a new OS and a new Version at the same time. The
OS is added , ( without the {7} extension.) and no new "{7} options version = "
gets added.

Is there a way to get this going?
icon5.gif   Quick Filter and boolean option question, posted by Arno Teunisse on Fri Oct 19 22:59:31 2007 
; BUG : When "Contract" is at the second position in the "Attributes".
; We See in the "Quick Filter" a pulldown showing "Serial Number" with only "0" or "1" ,
; this is NOT what i want or is expected !!!
[WRONG]
Attributes = Server , Contract , ContractID, Serienummer,Locatie , Category , TEST4
Options Category = Server, Printer , Disk, Router
; Please notice that the boolean attribute is at the second position in the attributes <list>,
;this is a bug, otherwise the "Quick Filter" gets it wrong. So Boolean attributes must always
;be the last item when defining the Attributes
Options Contract = boolean
Quick Filter = Server , Serienummer , Category

; This is OK : Just moving the "Contract" to the end of the "Attributes"
; Now the "Quick Filter" is a normal entrie field and not a pulldown.
; So , now i can enter a serialnumber. This is what i want and is expected.
[OK]
Attributes = Server , ContractID, Serienummer,Locatie , Category , TEST4 , Contract
Options Category = Server, Printer , Disk, Router
; Please notice that the boolean attribute is the last in the attributes <list>, this is a bug, otherwise the "Quick Filter" gets it wrong. So Boolean attributes must always be the last item when defining the Attributes
Options Contract = boolean
Quick Filter = Server , Serienummer , Category

Just switch between "wrong" and "OK" to see the "quick filter" changes.
icon5.gif   opening a local html file, posted by Arno Teunisse on Sun Oct 21 22:35:19 2007 
Hello 

I've managed to create several logbooks that are an index of a (slow) shared 
directory. Now I use elog to search for files that are located on the slow 
shared directory and just have to click on the link in the elog logbook to open 
the file. Every day a simple batch file and 2 perl scripts will recreated the 
elog logbooks. So updates are done without any user input. ( mainly via the 
elog.exe program ) This all works great. 

To access the shared files in the above mentioned logbooks i use for one of the 
attributes : (All on one line) :

<A HREF='\\////HOST/dir 1/dir 2/dir 3/dir 4/dir 5/dir 6/dir 7/filename.doc' target='_blank'>filename.doc</a>

And this works great.

In the above the .doc may be replaced with .html, .xls or whatever WINDOWS 
supports. 

Here is my question : 

Now I want to open a  .html on my local drive. Should be possible but i seem to 
miss the correct format. With local drive I mean the drive that elog is running 
on. In my case this is C: 

I tried : 

file:///c:\dir 1\dir 2\file.html
file:///c:/dir 1/dir 2/file.html
<A HREF="file:///c:\dir 1\dir 2\file.html">file.html</a>
<A HREF="file:///c:/dir 1/dir 2/file.html">file.html</a>
<A HREF='file:///c:\dir 1\dir 2\file.html'>file.html</a>
<A HREF='file:///c:/dir 1/dir 2/file.html'>file.html</a>

and much more variants of the above. ( the first two examples do not respect the 
Spaces in directory names and file name, tried some quoting, but does not help)

In my browser ( IE7.0)  i see in the status bar : 

file:///c:/dir%201/dir%202/file.html

That seems to be OK. But nothing happens when i click the left click the link in 
the elog logbook. 

The above contains the correct directories and filenames. I know that the file 
is there because right clicking the link in elog and selecting "Save Target As" 
will save the file. However just left clicking the link to the file does not 
open the browser to display it. ( As i stated : this works on a shared drive, but not 
on a local drive.) 

Any suggestions ? 
icon5.gif   Quick filter - Subtext, posted by An Thai on Mon Nov 19 14:11:33 2007 Subtext.PNG

The default subtext "-- Text --" for quick filter is included when another attribute is selected. So that the searched category always shows 0 entrie

I cannot find this problem on your demo forum, but it is happening on my server.

My config:

Quick filter = Author, Category, SubText

 Result: Please see the screenshot attached.

icon5.gif   ELog Friendly Reporting Tools, posted by Matt on Wed Dec 12 16:05:00 2007 

We have used ELog for some time now (within the IT industry) for several things (on-call tracking, after-hours work, knowledge base and a few other uses in development).  Now that we have a good base of data, we would like to do some trending analysis.  We have used Excel in the past for this, but it is rather time consuming.  Does anyone have recommendations for tools (hopefully open source) they have used?  I know nearly anything will since ELog uses flat files, but I'm looking for recommendations that you all know works well.
