You can always insert the full link to the attachment like this one: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/231009_104933/SCR14.PNG

But you can also use elog:69699/1 as shown here. Unfortunately you can do that only after the entry has been submitted, so you know the ID number of that entry. Once you have it, edit the entry and put it in.

Hello,
I like the ELcode feature that lets you easily make an internal link to an attachment in the same post. However, I wasn't able to get this to work in the html editor, even though it's possible to use the ELcode format to link to another post in the logbook. When I type in elog :/1 in the html editor (without the space) and submit (even with an attachment present), it weirdly gets changed and shows up as 61/1 in the submitted elog, without any hyperlink. As far as I know we're using the standard elog code and only modified css parameters. Is there another syntax to link to attachments in html?
Testing it out here: 69699/1  (elog :/1 without the space turned into 69699/1)

There are two locations where 'Subject' is shown, the list display and the individual message display. I guess you mean the first one. 

In that case, you can modify the CSS styel sheet 'elog.css' and add following statement to the classes list2 and list2h:

.list2 {
   ...
   white-space: nowrap;
}  

.list2h {
   ...
   white-space: nowrap;
}

Certain characters contained in the 'Subject' will cause the text to split into multiple lines .

For example if  I enter "My Subject" in the 'Subject' field it is displayed as

My

Subject

If I enter "My_Subject" it is displayed as 

My_Subject

Is there any way to change this so no line breaks are created ?

Yes, this is controlled by the variable NAME_LENGTH in elogd.c, which is
currently set to 1500 characters. You can try to increase this and recompile,
but at some point you will produce a stack overflow and elogd will crash. So
the current length is a compromise.

The reason for the earlier question is that we are trying to use Elog to store 
data in a form we'd need to store more 1500 characters in more than one field.

Is it possible to get around this problem by having more then one main text field 
per record?

thanks

No, not at the moment. You can increase the 1500 characters by recompiling elogd, but
at some point you will hit the stack limit and elogd will crash. I plan a major
redesign with completely dynamic memory allocation, thus permitting any number of
characters on any attribute. But this will take a couple of months or so.
