Is there some step we missed?

The location of top.html has been changed from the ELOG root down into the loogbook directory. If you want to keep it in the original location, you have to specify the full path. See the documentation for where to put the file for "Top text".

I would also like the option to add additional email addresses on the fly.


There is a simple way to accomplish this. Define a new attribute, let's call it "cc". Then add to your config file following statement:
Email all = $cc

In you entry form, you can now enter comma-separated email addresses in the CC filed, to which a notification will be sent.

thank you,
but the last method (simplest for me) does not import the comment.
it's a pity...


Ok, I implemented the XML import which also includes the text body. However there are currently two limitations:

  • If you want to import entries which contain replies, it only works if import them into an empty logbook, where the imported entries can obtain the same entry IDs as in the original logbook.
  • The names of possible attachments are correctly imported, but not the files themselves. These you have to copy by hand.

I would like to filter the summary view so it only shows me the most recent entry for every value in the serial number attribute. This would be very useful for quickly viewing the present status and location of every assembly, for example.


I don't know if that is what you want, but have you tried clicking on the column headings in the summary view to sort the table according to that attribute:

Rather than simply sorting, I would like to actually reduce the number of entries listed to show only the most recent entry for each serial number. In this way, I can see at a glance what the present status of each serial number is. This is similar to Quick Filters but would be a "Most Recent" filter that could be applied conditionally, for example: "Most Recent" -> "By Serial".

Here is the display now:


Here is what I'd like to have the option to view (I used a graphic editor to fake it):


It would also be nice to have the option to then sort the resultant view, for example, to group together all serial numbers that have the same status.

Is this a little clearer? It's just a suggestion - this is not terribly important, but if it were possible I think it would be useful.

Thanks!

Ok, now I understand. Well, your request is very special for your case. Usually I implement things only if several independent people ask for it. What you can try is to save your logbook in CSV format, import it into Excel or another spreadsheet program, and achieve the filtering there.

Best regards,

Stefan

OK, I've done that before and it works fine. I'd rather be able to do it in Elog but I understand if it's not worth the effort. It never hurts to ask!

Cheers,

Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Severity, Subject, Entry ID, Status, CC E-mail To
Display Email recipients = 1

Email All = mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu
Email Format = 47
Suppress default = 0
Type CC E-mail To = museremail

The documentation states that there can be multiple "Email All" directives, so I thought they would be additive--causing the admin address and the author to always get mail.


There can be multiple "Email All" directives, but they have to be on one line, like
Email All = $CC E-mail To, mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu

Is there a setting to ensure that the original author of the thread is always notified upon any change?


You can do something like:
Attributes = ..., Author Email
Preset Author Email = $user_email
Email All = $Author Email, $CC E-mail to, mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu
...

An alternative (and that's what I usually do) is to keep "Suppress email to users = 0" and tell the users to remove their subscription if they don't like it. Note that you also can edit the password file manually (it's a XML file), and remove all subscriptions easily with an editor. Note that you have to do that when elogd is stopped, then edit the file, then restart elgod.
