Is there a possibility to integrate into ELOG some more features in terms
of page formating?
Currently, the .cfg file allows you to specify only the data structure of
the dataentry/consultation HTML page. And you only have very limited
possibilities to change the layout of the page (basically only the order of
attributes on the page and with the help of the .css file the font, color
and background of the page as a whole).
What we would like to do is to :
+ apply a stylesheet class to an attribute (change the particular TD class)
+ specify the width of a textfield (sometimes it is really not necessary to
have such a long textfield area for a 3-letter long code)
+ put an attribute on the same line as the previous one (instead of putting
it automatically on the next line)
Therefore, in addition to the current attributes & parameters, we suggest
the following syntax in the .cfg file:
+ parameter AttribPos which would specify the position of an attribute,
it's lenght (for text attributes only) and the .css class to apply
+ parameters in [] are optional
AttribPos AttribName = same_line, width, [class]
Examples:
AttribPos DateUp = 0,20, [important]
+ Attribute "DateUp" will be put on the next line, the textfield width will
be 20 characters and a .important class will be applied to it from the
default (or specified) .css file.
AttribPos DateUp = 1,15,
+ this puts the DateUp attribute on the same line, width 15
We believe that these improvements would help to make the ergonomy of the
screen better and thus facilitate the user-dataentry/consultation. |
