icon6.gif   Unsubscribe from logbooks, posted by Chris Warner on Fri Sep 8 18:42:05 2006 
Is there a way for user to unsubscribe from a logbook? Can a user delete their own account?

We have multiple LCDs at a console, and usually one is dedicated to displaying a browser
with the local ELog. Meanwhile, others are making entries from another machine. If
no one clicks on refresh, the ELog display becomes stale. Is there a method to have
the ELog reload every X minutes?

Thanks, Alan


The JavaScript is one possibility as Steve mentioned correctly. Another possibility is to use the RSS feed capability of ELOG. Use any RSS reader, and it will notify you immediately if there is a new entry in ELOG. Have a look at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html and search for RSS on how to configure this.

Yes. Yes.

Just click on "Config", and you will see a page where you can unsubscribe from each logbook and a button to remove your account.
icon5.gif   Why are Preset fields blanked out?, posted by Steve Jones on Thu Sep 14 22:59:39 2006 
The snippet of code below sets an attribute to a date depending on the selection. Problem is, if attribute ApprovedDate was previously set, selecting any other value for CRStatus will blank out ApprovedDate (the same occurs for CompletedDate). Why would this be occurring when the conditionals are mutually exclusive?
##################################################
# Define CRState
#
Options CRState = PENDING{a}, APPROVED{b}, HOLD{a}, REJECTED{a}, COMPLETED{c}
{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date

I don't understand your problem. If I use following config file:
[demo]
Theme = default
Attributes = Author, CRState, ApprovedDate, CompletedDate

Options CRState = PENDING{a}, APPROVED{b}, HOLD{a}, REJECTED{a}, COMPLETED{c}
{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date

and make an entry, then edit it, selecting approved, then submit, then edit again, then select completed, then I get following:



which looks ok to me (the previous ApprovedDate does not get blanked out). Can you reproduce that behaviour?
icon5.gif   new entry form - "minimalist" approach , posted by frederic poncin on Mon Sep 18 16:53:09 2006 
I'm playing with the configuration files in order to produce a "minimal" form.
At this time, I did not succeed in removing the following components:

- the "Fields marked with * are required" field
- the "Entry time:" field
- the "encoding ELCode / plain / HTML" field
- the "preview" button
- the duplication of the Submit/Preview/Back buttons on the top and the bottom of the page.

Is any of this possible?

I think I found it. Try this:
Locked Attributes = ApprovedDate, CompletedDate
##################################################
# Define CRState
#
Options CRState = PENDING{a}, APPROVED{b}, HOLD{a}, REJECTED{a}, COMPLETED{c}
{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date

In my config when I remove the two attributes from "LOCKED ATTRIBUTES" the fields do not get blanked out.
icon5.gif   "Supress Email Notification" checkbox, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Sep 18 18:36:07 2006 
Is there a way to allow email notification but have the "Suppress Email Notification" checked by default? We had complaints about the enormous amount of email so I turned off email notification for edits/replys, but there are times that I would like to allow email to be sent out -- this would imply allowing email by unchecking the "Suppress" box.
