  1417   Wed Sep 21 04:24:43 2005 Question Dan Chitwooddchitwoo@uiuc.eduQuestionLinux2.6.0beta4Can I turn off emoticons?
Is there a way to not use the emoticons, but at the same time use the ELCode?

An example would be to add a slash before the emoticon code like this: /:)

Thanks,
Dan

We are having trouble on our logbook with posts appearing twice. Both posts contain the same ID number, time, etc. This most often occurs when the e-log entry is being written for an extended period of time (ie. more than 30 minutes), but I don't know if that is the root cause of the problem. It may also be related to posts that are edited after an initial posting. Could this be due to an improper setting in our config file?

Hello,

   Thank you for such a great software package!

   I would like to ask how I can display the Revisions field in the single entry view but not in the list view. I followed the FAQ instructions and added the following to my elodg.cfg:

   Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Revisions
   Locked attributes = Revisions
   Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions
$date by $long_name This configuration shows the Revisions field in both the list view and the single entry view. This was a problem because certain entries are changed a lot so they took up a lot of horizontal space in the list view. I tried to remove the Revisions field in the list view but keep them in the single entry view with the following: Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject Show Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Revisions Locked attributes = Revisions Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions
$date by $long_name This took the Revisions field out of the list view and also the single entry view. However, the fields that were shown in the single entry view ended up as Author, Type, Category, Subject, Author (again). The last attempt were with the following configuration lines: Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject Show Attributes = Revisions Locked attributes = Revisions Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions
$date by $long_name This showed Author, Type, Category, Subject in the list view but only the Author field in the single entry view. How can I configure Elog to show the Revisions field in the single entry view but no the list view? Thanks, - Dan

Hello Stefan,

Thanks for your reply.

Maybe it was the way that I worded my original post but to reiterate, I wanted to have ID, Date, Author, Type, Category, Subject in the list display and Author, Type, Category, Subject, and Revision in the single entry view.

To get the desired results, I had to use the following:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Revisions
Show Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Revisions
Locked attributes = Revisions
Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions $date by $long_name
List Display = ID, Date, Author, Type, Category, Subject

Thank you again for your help and the great software package!

The "Show Attributes" option is for the single entry view, while the "List Display" option is for the list view. So what you need is:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Show Attributes = Revisions
Locked attributes = Revisions
Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions $date by $long_name
List Display = ID, Date, Author, Type, Category, Subject

Hello,

   Thank you for such a great piece of software!

   When displaying the entries in a log book with Summary view, ELCode is not processed in 'Text'. I know there
is an option called 'Allow HTML", but is there something similar for decoding ELCode in the Summary 'Text' field?

Thank you again,
   - Dan

That would be a lot of effort for very little gain. I appreciate your detailed response. 

Thank you,

Hi,

I've just installed the news 3.1.5 version and I have 2 problems.
I don't know if it works with older versions because I started with latest.

- When using "select" menu then "edit" for multiple entries, the text is replaced with "- keep original text here -" instead of keeping the original values. Really annoying...







Another problem too, if I want to edit after, I have the error message "only author - keep original text here - can edit" although the author column is OK..
It looks like this problem is global and not only on text column.




- Version number is indicated "ELOG V3.1.4" instead of V3.1.5.

My config file :

[global]
port = 8888
language = french
Authentication = Webserver
Page title = XXXXX
SSL = 0
Interface = 127.0.0.1
URL = https://elog.xxxxxx.xxx/

Page Title = ELOG - $Categorie
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Categorie, Centre
Preset Auteur = $long_name
Option Auteur = Filled In Automatically
Locked Attributes = Auteur

I'm using Apache as reverse proxy with SSL and transparent Kerberos authentication (Microsoft Active Directory).
URL via Apache is https://elog.xxxxxx.xxx (no subdirectory).

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your prompt help.
It looks good for text but I still have problem with "select" function (even in English).

If I use "select" menu :
- When multiple values are selected it indicates "only user - keep original values - can edit" (freshly created).




- When a single value is selected, it indicates "only user XXX can edit" where XXX is my truncated name (the first 4 letters).



After editing in with admin account the author is now my truncated name :



If I want to edit a single entry (without select menu) it works perfectly.

Thanks.

I checked and found that the bug which removed the main text was there since the beginning, but it's only triggered if you switch elog to French, it doesn't happen in the English version. I changed a bit the text processing so now it should work also in the French version.

I also changed the version number which is shown at the bottom to 3.1.5.
