Hmm. Is there some way to set up a private RSS feed for me only?
If not, I would humbly ask that you add an option. I don't want to generate unnecessary email to users, but I need to always be notified for some logbooks. I'm responsible for some hardware on our project and I want to know any time someone reports a problem. The best solution is to still let users decide whether they want to subscribe to logbooks, and whether entry notification should be suppressed or not, but also have an admin override privilege. There could be a disclaimer "admin is automatically notified of all entries" at the top of the edit page.
If this can be done with a private RSS feed to me only, then that's fine. I still don't use or understand RSS feeds very well, sorry. I'd rather all users did not have the option to be alerted to every new entry, when email suppression is enabled. That would be contradictory, I think.
Thanks for listening!

The RSS feed is private by default. You install a client (like Sharp Reader under Windows). It stays in the icon tray and periodically checks for new ELOG entries. If there is one, it pops up a window similar to your email client. You click on it, and it shows all entries like this:

All you have to do is to enter the URL of the ELOG logook. Just add "elog.rdf" to the URL of the logbook as you would access it from your browser.
Here is the pop-up I got from writing just this entry:

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Request | | | Re: thumbnails in list and entry views? |
Dennis Seitz wrote: |
It would be very cool to be able to select Full from the view menu and then scroll rapidly through all entries looking for that high res photo of a SQUID chip I took two months ago. Presently the photos are all full size so the Full view is slow to load and it takes a lot of scrolling to navigate. Can you implement thumbnails in Full view, and also in the single entry view? Clicking on the thumbnail should, of course, open the full size image.
For now, I'm just using the wysiwyg html entry format and dropping images into the entry, then right-clicking to set a small image size. Clicking on the image gives me a new window with the full size image, which works great.
I hope you don't mind the barrage of suggestions, and thanks again.

Thumbnail display in "full view" is implemented already. Let's take this entry: I insert a picture and scale it down via the "smaller" button:

Now if you display this forum in full view, the image is still shown as a thumbnail, which you are able to click in order to get the full resolution display. I don't know what is different in your case, maybe you are using an oder version of ELOG? |

Grant Jeffcote wrote: | After searching the manual and not finding (missing?) the answer is it possible to add conditional statements to a Boolean attribute? I would like a tick box to be able to trigger an event when submitted. |
Conditions are not possible with boolean attributes. You have to define the attribute as a list like
Attributes = ..., Flag, ...
Options Flag = Yes{0}, No{1}
{0} ...
{1} ...

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | | | Re: Is there a way to indicate when an entry has been edited? |
Dennis Seitz wrote: |
You've probably seen my other posts on this subject.
I want to be able to re-edit some entries but I need some way to know the dates entries were re-edited.
Am I just approaching this the wrong way? Should I disable re-editing of entries and use threads to follow changes by posting replies to an entry?
The only problem with that is that if I make a mistake I will have to submit a new entry to fix it.

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Windows | | Re: multi-headings |
parrish wrote: |
how can you have more than 1 heading like in this forum. Example is: Demo and Discusion and have diferent sub heading under each one?
So example if Demo is selected you get one group of tabs to select from and if Discussion is selected you get a different second set of tabs to choise from.
Thanks in adavance
|
You can do this by defining groups. For this forum I did
Group Demo = Linux Demo, Database
Group Discussion = Forum, Config Examples, Contributions, Vulnerabilities
where each name on the right side of the equal sign is an individual logbook. |

Franck C wrote: |
Hi,
I have defined a quick filter based on an icon attribute and it does not work: no result. I have defined something like your "forum elog" (with Icon comment ): in the quick filter, i see the comments (that a good thing) but whatever i'm selecting, i have no entry.
Is it a bug or i miss something in the configuration ?
|
I tried to reproduce your problem, but it worked fine for me. I used in elog.cfg:
[demo]
Attributes = Icon, Author, Type, Last Edit, Subject
IOptions Icon = icon1.gif, icon2.gif, icon3.gif, icon4.gif, icon5.gif, icon6.gif, icon7.gif, icon8.gif, icon12.gif, icon13.gif, icon14.gif
Quick filter = Icon
Then I entered two entries with different icons, and I selected the quick filter. It correctly showed me the entry with the icon I selected:

Just upgraded to v2.7.4 and really like the new editor but I need to be able to browse for the correct file when inserting a hyperlink. I looked into CKfinder but can't see how to use this with ELOG. Can anyone help? We have been using ELOG in our control center for about a year and it is working out great!

CKfinder is a tool to browse the server, not the client where the web browser is running if I understand correctly. ELOG only supports attachment and inline images residing on the client side, so you browse with the file selector of your web browser. Or did I understand you incorrectly? |

Thanks for the reply Stefan and thanks for making this program available - where can we send a donation?
When I click 'InsertLink' in the FCKeditor I get an 'Explorer User Promp' popup asking me to enter the name of the hyperlink. After I enter the name I get 'Enter URL of hyperlink'. Typically I want to link to a file on a mapped drive but I would prefer to browse to the file location and select the file rather than type it in.
|
You can donate here by clicking the donate link at the ELOG page.
If you want to attach a file from a mapped drive you click on the "Browse..." button at the bottom of the ELOG page:
