icon4.gif   elog client can set arbitrary values to locked attributes, posted by David Potterveld on Mon Nov 10 16:56:08 2008 
When submitting entries via the elog client, I find that I can set arbitrary values for attributes that are supposedly "preset" and "locked".
As an example, I have in my elogd.cfg file:
[global]

Actually I found a way around. The "Subst xxx" is evaluated after you submit an entry, so it also works for the elog tool. So
all you need in your config file is:

Subst Author = $long_name
and it will do the job.
icon3.gif   thumbnails in list and entry views?, posted by Dennis Seitz on Thu Jun 5 02:06:31 2008 
It would be very cool to be able to select Full from the view menu and then scroll rapidly through all entries looking for that high res photo of a SQUID
chip I took two months ago. Presently the photos are all full size so the Full view is slow to load and it takes a lot of scrolling to navigate.
Can you implement thumbnails in Full view, and also in the single entry view? Clicking on the thumbnail should, of course, open the full size image.

If I add this statement to a logbook config file:
Show attachments = 0
When viewing and individual entry, attached images are not displayed, which is as intended, but the links Show/Hide and Show All/Hide All are still

Hi Stefan,
Is it possible to derive the time in a 'date/time' attribute from the Elog server?
We would like all our entries in GMT/UTC time and unfortunately as the time is currently derived from the client machines there are often entry

Originally, all information about our machines was stored in a spreadsheet with one sheet for the hardware of the machines and one for the software.
By now, I've sucessfully moved the software part to an elog logbook and am now looking at transferring the hardware part as well.
As both lists are machine-name based, one of the options would be to merge both lists, as this would place all machine-related info into one logbook.

icon13.gif   Error Message During Uploads, posted by Kevin O'Sullivan on Mon Oct 13 17:02:17 2008 
We've been having toruble with uploads not working and I notice that every time someone uploads to our elog the same error message appears in /var/log/syslog:
Cannot restore original GID/UID.
How can I fix thsi error? Or, perhaps more importantly, could it cause elog to "lock up" (note, it doesn't crash)?
