What comes out with my simple echo or gawk line is "+ + " so it looks like the attributes are not getting passed into the $shell code? |
The reason is that the substitutions get evaluated from left to right, so first the shell is called with $Risk1, and because the shell by itself does a subsitution and $Risk1 is not defined on the unix system, the shell returns an empty string, leading to "+ +" as the result.
I changed that in the current SVN version, so we have first the attribute substitions, then then shell substitution. The "echo $Risk1..." will of course not work, since it gets substituted by elog as "echo 12 + 23 + 45" (or whatever the numbers are), and the "echo" will just return these numbers without adding them. To make the shell to add things, you would need to define the risks as environment variables for the shell, so I guess the "gawk" method will work better for you. I tried it and it worked fine for me. |
Sorry, I waSn't clear about just why I was using "echo". Since elog removes the /tmp/elog_shell temporary file I couldn't "see" what was actually being passed to the shell - gawk was giving me an error and I was flying blind. So I used echo to create my own temporary file.
Yes, gawk should now work -- I'l download and compile the latest and provide feedback.
Thanks! |
Ok, confirming that this now works. Passing the command:
Subst <attribute> = $shell(gawk 'BEGIN{ print $Attrib1 + $Attrib2 + $Attrib3 }' )
will cause the result to be pushed into <attribute>, so gawk in essence becomes a simple calculator and operates on the formula "$Attrib1 + $Attrib2 + $Attrib3". |

| Marco Calf | marco@kelf.nl.eu.org | Comment | Linux | 2.5.7 | User review..use case: implementing GTD |
Playing with elog for a day made me very happy. I was looking for a webbased thingy to support list building for 'Getting Things Done' by David Allen ( David Allen's Getting Things Done ).
Elog is simple, intuitative and very powerfull!
Less informative is the fact that i found no bugs till now 
On usablitity..maybe some more control over the dialog..eg the 'in between' screens (eg after a move...the 'to which log i would like to resume' question)...or have an option to be in select mode by default.
Tnx |

No, this is not possible directly. You would have to make a new reply, and manually fill in the contents from the original reply. It is however possible by directly tampering the ELOG files, but that should be done only by experienced users. |
Kind of what I thought but needed to ask. I think I'll leave things as they are. Thanks! |

It was some new code used for inline images. If you upload an inline image, an extra window opens which lets you select the image file. After that operation, you want to have the focus back at the text box. Unfortunately this also happened now after the JavaScript update of conditional attributes. I fixed that in the new version 2.6.1-6. |

When I use "insert image" button in Netscape, for instance,

includes an attachment in the ELOG entry.
When a try to do the same action in Internet Explorer, only
the attachment is created without the tag [IMG]elog:1/1[/IMG] . |
This is a problem of the JavaScript implementation of Internet Explorer. After some externsive research I found now a way to convince IE to do the right thing. The fix is contains in SVN revision 1701 and will be released with 2.6.2-2 soon. |
Great job !
I tried the SVN revision 1701, and it works perfectly.
Thank you for all your effort.

Hi Stefan, could you add my vote for this feature too please?
Many thx |
