You can do that chaning the CSS of the underlying theme. But you need some experience with CSS.

It is possible to change the justification for a column/attribute in the list mode (left-aligned, centered, right-aligned)?

Right now Elog treats each colum of a list as centered,

thank you

If a file is on a memorystick and the memorystick is gone, how could elog bring it back? What you ask for is magic, sorry for that. Also if you move files outiside elog from one folder (drive) to anohter. How shoudl elog keep track of these files if they are outside? If your colleague moves some piece of equipment from A to B, without telling you, how can you guess where B is?

Hi Stefan

Unfortunately this would become impractical for us as many of the test data files which we'd need to link too are Gb's in size, some over 100Gb, hence only the files needed to do a say an inspection of the equipment would be copied onto memory sticks. Currently we use an excel speadsheet to store hyperlinks to all of the files / directories we need - unfortunately some people forget to update this and it was asked could we do it using elog as people are familiar with this wonderful peice of software.

Hence why i'm now investigating - so is it actually posible?

Kind regards

Linking to external files via "file:///..." is a bad idea, since only a pointer is stored in the elog. So if someone puts somehing on M: and the drive is removed, the file is physically gone. No way to retrieve it. Instead of puttting links to files, users should get trained to ATTACH the files to elog cntries (V3 of elog has a "Drop attachments here..." section. Only then the files are physically transferred into elog and accessible independed of your external memory stick.

I've created an elog where users can then enter links to a file: for example they would enter:

<a href="file:///M:/Data/Inspection%20Reports/ABC123.doc">ABC123</a>

If they are running this on their desktops where everyones M drive is mapped to the same location, not a problem, the file opens perfectly.

The problem we have is some people work off of site and hence they run everything from a memory stick (USB drive), then once back in the office, copy the memory stick back on to the network.

Unfortunately when off of site the href link M: is no longer valid as the M drive doesn't exist.

Hence i've been trying to open a local file with the following syntax: 

<a href="file:///../ABC123.doc">ABC123</a>

It just won't open

Hence in my frustration i basically copied the word file ABC123.doc into every single directory on the memory stick thinking surely this must work, it must find it somewhere, unfortunately not.

What am i doing wrong?

Never mind, version from github solved issue.

We're running Elog 3.1.2 om SL 7.2 and keep getting random crashes, sometimes when no one is accessing a logbook. The following is from /var/log/messages with debugging turned on after the latest crash.
