  614   Fri Jul 16 17:51:52 2004 Idea Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comRequestAll2.5.3WISHLIST: Type <attribute> = user
Something to add to the wishlist:

- Type <attribute> = user

This would define an attribute as being of the type "user" which is a list
of login id's as defined in a password file or on the "Login user =" line. 
In a dataentry form the presence of this ATTRIBUTE would result in a
picklist of loginid's and/or fullnames.
  615   Fri Jul 16 19:06:35 2004 Warning Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comBug reportAll2.5.3BUG?: Preset text = causes replication of text when re-editing a logbook entry.
With the "Preset text = " specified, when re-editing a logbook entry (say to
correct a spelling error) the text of the "Message" is replicated and placed
directly below the original text.

Commenting out the "Preset text = " line prevents this behavior.  this
occurs under both FireFox and IE6.0 clients.
  624   Wed Jul 28 18:25:32 2004 Warning Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comBug reportAll2.5.4?getcfg problem in v1.410: Truncation of long config strings
Just compiled 1.410 and have run into an issue that *may* have been
introduced in 1.393.

Config file directives such as "Welcome title" could be very long strings. 
After compiling 1.410, our "Welcome title" is truncated and, while I haven't
counted the actual chars, I suspect that the truncation happens at 1024
characters.  The procedure 'getcfg' has a declared passed paramater "int
vsize". 

I haven't looked to see if this effects any other large configuration
strings that are managed by "getcfg" but this procedure is perhaps the most
popular one by far in elog.

Hmmm, it is a wonder.  Our welcome text was not significantly longer (about 20
chars longer) so perhaps . . . ?

Thanks, will recompile and report back.

I like the implementation, especially with the tooltip popping up anywhere in the
area.  Thanks.
