Right

Attributes are shown in the order you specify them in the config file, so what about

Attributes = Entry type, Author, Journal, Title, Year     ???

Hello Stefan,

the changes I asked for, are working as requested. The extandable options are 
inserted into the correct line of the conditional attributes. 

  Thanks.

PS: While testing on a new demo logbook, I first made the mistake to declare 
both options, the first one and the related one as extendable. But I can imagine 
that this was really never ment to be implemented.

Because for 'Entry type'='InProceedings' one needs:
'Author', 'Title', 'Booktitle', 'Year', 'Volume', 'Number'.
So, depending on the entry type that was chosen the entry mask should change,
with the required fields first and the not valid fields should not be shown
at all, which can nicely be done with the 'hidden attributes' config option.
Only the sorting (of the entry mask!) is missing! :)

Ok, I put that on my wish list. So once the second or third person asks for it, I will
implement it (;-)

Is there any way to automatically export the logbook(s)?

Kind of. You can use "wget" under Linux (use cygwin under Windows to get wget
under Windows). Then issue a

wget "http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/forum/?cmd=Search&mode=xml"

and you will get an XML export. Same works with CSV export. If you put that
command in cron, you have this on an automatic basis.

Thanks Stefan! That was exactly what I was looking for!
  906   Mon Feb 7 13:14:41 2005 Idea Emiliano GabrielliAlberT@SuperAlberT.itRequestLinux2.5.6images attached shown as inline
I'm configuring this great application in order to replace the previous
elogbook my community is using (in the accelerator's world).

One of the main and mandatory feature they cannot renunce is the possibility
of displaying every attached image just inline, without having to click over
the file name or to enter the entry view (in which the attachment can
already be displayed inline) ...  

- images (and hopefully ps, eps, pdf) be displayed inline just after the
text body of the message in the main "List" view
- possibility to configure the scale of this view
- possibility of build some thumbs in order to save BW and time


Is there any way to do it or any plan to implement such a feature in the
very next future ?
