Is it possible to use a drop-in replacement for the FCKeditor?
|
What is a drop-in replacement?
|
A configuration option to specify a different/alternate javascript based editor.
|
There is an firefox addon "It's all text" that allows you to call your own editor for all textarea fields in the browser.
If you then choose "plain" or "ELCode" encoding in ELOG for a new entry or to modifiy an existing entry, you can use your favourite editor to edit the entry by an new "EDIT" button associated with the textarea input field. It works simply by temporary files.
Not really a "drop-in" replacement, but similar.

I tried to get an Subst <attrib> = $shell(<command>) to work and put this into a Preset text line, like e.g.:
Attributes = subject, ...
Options <name> = test{1}, ...
Subst myvar = $shell(dir)
{1} Preset subject = Test
{1} Preset text = $myvar
Which results in an ELOG-entry having printed "$myvar" in its body instead of the expected substitution. Changing the Subst command to: "Subst myvar = $host" or even to "Subst myvar = Test" also resulted in printing just the string "$myvar" into the submitted Elog-entry. - What am I doing wrong? |
What you want to do is done simply by:{1} Preset text = $shell(dir)You expect "Subst" to create new variables, but it cannot do this.
"Subst" can overwrite the value of an existing field in an already submitted entry, while
"Preset" allows to prefill an existing entry field and the user may overwrites it before submitting (if it is not "Locked".)
In both cases you can either call a shellscript to create the desired text, or you can use
one of the predefined variables defined in the help pages "ELOG - Syntax of elogd.cfg" for "Subst".

| Dennis Seitz wrote: |

Since we updated to 2.7.8 we've found a problem.
Previously, when we used
Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject
The new "Re: " text would appear in the "subject" field while the user was editing their reply, and they could edit or delete it.
Since 2.7.8, however, it does not appear while editing, but shows up only after the user submits their entry. We would prefer that this appears while the user is editing, because in some cases we want the users to have the option to modify this text. Was this intentional? Is there a way to restore the previous functionality?[...]

Sorry, that appears to be an undocumented bug fix :-)
The desired behaviour should be created by
Preset on reply subject = Re: $subject
The command "Subst" is supposed to overwrite the field after it is submitted.
From the documentation you will even find a nicer possibility:
Preset on first reply Subject = Re: $Subject
The prevent replies to build a long chain of "Re: Re: Re: ...."

I made copies of both servers' files and ran two elogd servers on my Mac on different ports, compiled from a fresh checkout of 2.8.0, and the same behavior was observed as I repeatedly made test entries and synchronized. This suggests it isn't specific to Linux architecture, 64-bit or otherwise.

We plan to use ELOG with mirror servers in a larger scale here, so I'm interested to know more about your problem.
Could you boil down your configuration to a minimum that still allows a reproduction of the problem and post those configurations as attachments?
Then I would try to reproduce it here. Best case I'll find a bug fix, worst case I'll reconsider the use of mirror servers ;-) |

| Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Bug report | Linux | 2.8.0-2313 | elog command creates always UTF-8 encoded entries |
If I create an entry via the web-interface, the defined encoding of the browser is used.
If I create an entry via "elog", it is always stored in UTF-8 encoding.
For the text I can overcome that with HTML encoding, but for attribute values the encoding does not show properly.
The only solution I found was to convert the whole logbook to UTF-8 encoding:
define "charset=UTF-8" in elogd.cfg
iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 elogd.cfg >tmp;mv tmp elogd.cfg
iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 resources/eloglang.german >tmp;mv tmp resources/eloglang.german
Has anyone any idea why ISO8859-1 does not work for me?
Or can anyone advice me of an editor similar to NEdit that is capable to display UTF-8? :-) |

One possibility is to use the new 2.9.0 feature "Propagate attributes = OPS Approval, ENG Approval, Director Approval"
A change in any of the three listed attributes would propage to the corresponding fields of all former entires of the same thread.
So if someone creates a reply and changes "OPS Approval" to "Approved", the field "OPS Approval" of the original entry would go as well to "Approved".
I just happen to know about this feature because Stefan implemented it for me :-) |

Hi Terry,
it is not exactly clear to me what you want.
You can define many different types of attributes to an entry.
Like this logbook has "Icon", "Author", "Author Email", "Category", ...
That automatically creates a form for the input.
Or you can have some pre-filled text in the text area, like a pre-defined table.
E.g. with the following line:
Preset Text = input-form.html
Every new entry will now contain the content of the file input-form.html
which could be some table or list, ... |
