For some reason it looses the "m" so line 5 instead of having
"hh:mm" has "hh: m"


Please ideas ;)
Cheers,

Yes, this is controlled by the variable NAME_LENGTH in elogd.c, which is
currently set to 1500 characters. You can try to increase this and recompile,
but at some point you will produce a stack overflow and elogd will crash. So
the current length is a compromise.

icon5.gif   2 Extendable options when created new entries, posted by Alex H on Thu Mar 3 16:46:26 2005 
Hello,

I try to have two Extendable options : Client and Equipment
so here is the line in my elogd.cfg
Extendable options = Client, Equipment

When I create a new entrie, I have the 2 scroll menus(Client and 
Equipment) and the 2 buttons(Client and Equipment) but i can't create 2 
news entries, i must create one for client, after I submit, I edit one 
more time and add a new equipement. Is there a solution for this?

Thanks a lot and sorry for mistakes or problem of comprehension i'am 
french :)

The reason for the earlier question is that we are trying to use Elog to store 
data in a form we'd need to store more 1500 characters in more than one field.

Is it possible to get around this problem by having more then one main text field 
per record?

thanks

Paul
