If you have a logbook and you create a new entry, is it possible to put a time limit on that new entry so that edits/replies are only valid for certain amount of time.  I am looking for a way that would allow me to have a user start a new message, but after 8 hours, that message becomes locked and no one can edit or add to the message.  This is for some shift work and we do not want users to go back after their shift and edit the messages.  

I am looking for the correct syntax for Preset Text =

I have an html file I want set in the editor so that my users can just enter in the data below the predetermined heading.  What is the correct syntax/file location.  

Thanks!

The documentation says:

• Preset text = <string> or <file>
  This preset value is used for the main body text. It can be a string or a file, which must be present in the logbook directory. Alternatively, an absolute path can be used if the file name starts with a "/" (Unix) or "\" or "x:" (Windows).

and there is nothing to add. There is no special syntax on that file, it just gets copied 1:1 into the edit box. 

Did you consider using the "Restrict edit time" option? It should provide the necessary functionality, as long as you don't want to lock the entry at a fixed absolute time, but really only x hours after creation (also, as you talked about closing the "thread" automatically, there is no option to prevent replies after a certain amount of time).

See the administrator's guide.

What you need is

Restrict edit time = ...

as written in the manual.

This is controlled by the FCKEditor  which is just a plug-in to ELOG. Maybe you find some information on their website: http://ckeditor.com/

Hi,

I have just discovered elog and I absolutely love it.

I have a question. Is there a way to enable user to view only, not post/delete in my elog. Also I would like to allow them to view only certain categories of my messages.

Regards,

Denis
