Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your prompt follow up.  I did try commenting of the width statement for listtitle2 and also reducing it to 40% but it did not work.  I restarted elogd daemon and I don't see the columns changing.  I also tried putting a percentage number (40%) for listtitle1 just to try and no change either.  Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Anyone who knows me knows I (ab)use elog a lot.   And this one is another of a long list of cheats and work arounds rather than modifying the code properly.

In summary mode, the top row are titles, and if they are long, they will dominate the width of that column.  Similarly if they are short, if entries under that title are either non-existant or even shorter.  Sometimes entries below the title will dominate, e.g. entries under "Date" title.

I assume your entries under the title in question are things like more than one word, such that they get split into two rows within that cell.  Sometimes that can look very untidy.  However, if you want the column wider than the title is given, you can pad out the title with " " (without the "").  Either on both sides for a centred title, or on the right for left justified.  Or between words if the title has more than one.  (Sorry for this edit, I hit submit button rather than preview).

I can think of two reasons why you don't see a change:

1) You modified the wrong file. The elog.css file is under elog/themes/default/elog.css. If you "install" elog, it might go into your installation directory. So check if you have more than one file with this name.

2) After the change, you did not reload the page in your browser.

Try to request the file directly in your browser with <url to elog>/logbook/elog.css then you will see the actual file your browser is using. Make sure your modification is present there.

Hi Stefan,

I have only one elog.css file in the default directory and the installation path is the same one that I'm using. Basically, I'm using off of the installed path.  I also tried, modifying the file and calling it elog_mod.css and then specified CSS=<path>/elog_mod.css and started the server again.  I did not see any changes.  Is there something else I'm missing here.

Thanks.

Hi,

Is there a search feature in ELOG.  Basically, we have the topics broken up by categories but within the categories we would like to search by a key word based on the subject to get to a specific topic.

Thanks.

That question screams: please read the manual! Find command: https://elog.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html#browse

Hi,

I'm trying to increase the entry text constraint but not sure how to do this.  Couldn't find it in the documentation or may be I missed it.  Appreciate your help.

Thanks.
