Why would you transfer the message to the text box?
 
You can have a "Message" attribute, which is an option list.
If the first option "Custom" is chosen, then you get an additional field "Custom Message".
We have an attribute "Entry type", there we could add the type "Message", if the attribute should not exist for other types of entries.
 
As an alternative you can have bookmarks in your browser, where the title field is preset already in the URL. In this Forum you can preset the Subject field by:

Can the chosen text in a dropdown menu be automatically transfered (copied) to this Text box?

I do not officially support LDAP, since I don't have any server to test it. So it comes as a third party's contibution from https://github.com/vykozlov/elog-ldap.

To my knowlede LDAPS has not been implemented. You could post an issue the the github repository to ask the original author.

Thank you, I am looking to do LDAPS over 636 where would the certificate go (Does it go in the SSL folder?).

David Wallis wrote:

This is what I've been able to figure out, in terms of the elogd.cfg file:

LDAP server = server.domain:389
LDAP userbase = ou=people,o=domain.com,dc=domain,dc=com
LDAP login attribute = uid
LDAP register = 0

Could someone point me to the LDAP configuration docs, I searched to no avail.  I'm sure there is some big red ldap config button it, but I just can't find it.

I changed it such that drafts are not shown at all in ELOG. The only way you realize them is if you hit "new", and you will be prompted if there is any pending draft.

Hi Stefan,
I got an answer to a forum entry before I actually finished writing my post! It is obviously possible to reply to a draft message.
I think it would be excellent if draft messages would only be shown to their authors (except maybe in case of an anonymous author).
It feels wrong if I watch people while they making an entry ;-)
Anyway, it is just an idea.
Cheers
Andreas

Thanks Andreas

We are still playing around with ideas, just thought I'd ask, didn't think it was possible.

We are ok with setting attributes but this is new to us as yet so may have more questions later.

 

Andreas Luedeke wrote:
Hi Neal,
you can preload words into one attribute field, but one field is either editable or not, you cannot protect single words in a field.
But the ELOG way to solve this would be to have multiple attributes: you would get one entry field for each attribute.
Just look at this logbook: it has the attributes Icon, Author, Author Email, Category, OS, ELOG Version and Subject.
You can change the content of each attribute (except of "Author", that field is made here to be not editable), but as a normal user you cannot change the names in front of the fields.
Did you've set up the demo logbook and played around with it? Because your question suggests to me that you don't figured out yet what ELOG does. Or as a direct answer: no, it does not make sense to me ;-)
But I'm sure you'll figure it out: ELOG is best learned by trial and error.
Kind Regards
Andreas

Sorry I call this field that you write in the subject field, a little confusing.

So is there anyway to fix the indicated words in place in this typing space so you can enter the text you want next to them but be unable to delete them. (does this make sense?)

Andreas Luedeke wrote:
Dear Neal,
I don't understand your example. There is no such thing as a "subject field". You can define an attribute called "subject", like in this logbook.
But I would guess that you want to have five attributes "Time Off", "Reason", etc. that cannot be altered after an entry has been created? That's easy.
Or do you want to protect entries with specific content not to be deleted? That is not easy.
Please explain in more detail what you want to achieve, and I'll be happy to help.

Cheers, Andreas

Can that be done in config? Example -

Hello,

I am using the RSS feed feature of Elog (V2.9.0-2396). I have a couple of attributes of type "datetime" (Start Time and Stop Time). I don't have a "Time Format" statement, so just using the default format. I am passing the Start Time and Stop Time attributes to the RSS Title with $Start Time and $Stop Time, but when looking at the RSS title in IE11 browser, I only see the date and not the time. Is there any way I can see the time as well?

Additional info:

I'm also passing the creation time of the Elog with $entry time and this is displaying correctly (both date and time).

Please let me know if I am doing something incorrectly?

Thanks

> I saw in the doc that an attribute cant be bigger than 100 char. but I couldn't figure the maximum size for options...  I'm wondering if the issue comes from the browser not refreshing correctly or if its elog..

The number of possible options is limited in elog to 100. This is defined by MAX_N_LIST in elogd.h. You can try to increase it and recompile elogd, but no guarantee that this works.

The reason that it *sometimes* work is really a bug, I should do better limit checkings...

Hi all :)

I try to setup my first lobgook, and have some problem. 

I want that Author was preset by $long_name, and it can't change its name. That works correct. I also want, when other user click Reply, that he will be author of reply, but Author windows goes emtpy... No Author, or Reply User in that field. Is it correct?

Do you have any suggestions? 

Here is part of config I use:

; preset author and email
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset Author Email = $user_email

; these attributes cannot be changed
Locked Attributes = Author

; options for reply
Subst on reply subject = Re: $Configuration Name
Remove on reply = Author, Author Email
Preset on reply Author = $long_name

 

Regards

Daniel.

You have "Remove on reply" together with "Preset on reply Author". Since the first is executed later, you first preset the author name, then remove it again. Just discard the "Remove on reply" and you are fine.

Ok. Now it works :) Thank you :) I'm translating Elog into Polish. When I finish, can I send it to you?
