Re: Option list length

Hi,

I use the following attribute definition:

Options <attribute> = <list>

However, I am being limited by the list length limit of 100. I have 103 items, but I only see 100.

Could the limit be extended (to 200 for instance) ?

Thanks a lot for your help

Soren

You can change that yourself. Just find following line in elogd.c:

#define MAX_N_LIST 100

and change it to 200, then recompile. But you are there on your own, at some point you will get a stack overflow and elogd will crash, but I don't know exactly where this limit is.

Anyhow I would propose that if you have so many options in an attribute, that you better go and group these options somehow. Like using two attributes, where the first defines the group, and the second gets different list for each option of the first attribute using conditional attributes. Have a look here.

Thanks. This is a good explanation. It might indeed be better to re-group the options to have a shorter list.

List View: Attachments icon

It is occasionally convenient to be able to put the Edit button at the beginning of the line in list view, e.g. when pages are wider than the screen it saves having to scroll across to find it. Would it be possible to do something similar with the Attachments button?

I don't understand what you mean. There is only a "Submit" button and a "Choose File" button:

both are pretty close to the beginning of the line (left side).

Hi Stefan and Steve,

Do you mean putting the paperclip icon to the left of the 'Thread display' (such as next to the emoticons and
other stuff we can put in this forum)?

I'd be happy with that if it overwrote the "+" in the threaded, collapsed mode; or
that there was a reserved position for the icon in threaded (any variant), and if no 
attachment, just a blank.  

Or make it something to configure, thus ruining Stefan's weekend and confusing the rest of us ;-)

Regards,

David.

Ahh, now I see what you mean. Well, first you can configure the amount of things to be shown in the threaded display
already via "Thread display". So maybe you can strip down things to have not too long entries. Second, to get to the
attachment you click on the entry, then click on the attachment. So to save you one click, it would cost me a few hours
of work (literally during the weekend). So I'm not very convinced Wink
