Hello All,

The subject is roughly what i'm asking about so here are the details. I have combed through the forums for an answer and didn't come up with anything regarding what i need.

Issue:

Below is what the logbook is setup as. However once there are more than 10 entries on the page, when a user views the logbook, elog automatically puts them to the higher value page # (ie entry number 11 is on page 2).

As I am sorting the entries by status and by Dist or Beat to organize entries for quicker viewing and access, I would prefer that elog always shows on page 1 when a user views the log book. The statuses are setup for sorting properly but when reverse sort is turned on, status "3-Closed" appears at the top instead of status "1-Open" to appear at the top, Status "2-Sent to Next Shift" next, then "3-Closed" after that.

Is there a to just view page 1 without doing the reverse sort?

Theme = default
Page Title = ELOG - $logbook
Entries per page = 10
Attributes = Entered By, Call Type, Date/Time Reported, Customer Name, Customer Phone Number, Location, Dist or Beat, Description, Badge, Updated By, Action Taken, Report Time, Status
List Display = Entered By, Call Type, Date/Time Reported, Customer Name, Location, Dist or Beat, Description, Badge, Updated By, Status
Locked Attributes = Entered By, Updated By
Preset Entered By = $long_name
Preset on edit Updated By = $long_name
Options Status = 1-Open, 2-Sent to Next Shift, 3-Closed
Preset Status = 1-Open
Cell Style Status 1-Open = background-color:red
Cell Style Status 2-Sent to Next Shift = background-color:yellow
Cell Style Status 3-Closed = background-color:green
Type Date/Time Reported = Datetime
Type Customer Phone Number = numeric
Type Report Time = Datetime
Sort Attributes = Status, Dist or Beat
Reverse sort = 0
Use Lock = 0
Summary lines = 0
Self Register = 0

Thanks in advance.

 Well it would appear i answered my own problem.

Start page = page1

 G'day everyone.

Looking for some input on this idea.

I work for an organization which uses elog extensively for day to day operations.

In several of our logbooks we use a "location" attribute where we would enter an address or intersection.

I am working with the google places api and am able to create the auto complete form in a separate html page, but am interested if anyone has a good direction how i could change the input box into the google map autocomplete search box.

I have the code already for the api search box. but when i add it to the config it doesn't really do anything different.

Attached is the html file i setup with the api code.

the autocomplete works great, now i just want it to work in elog.

Any help is much appreciated!

And perhaps the Elog Powers that be might be interested in making it a function down the road? :)

 Hello, you can use the "Deny" flag in the config file for each logbook.

Deny <function> = <user>

Example: Deny Edit = Gian

simply add as many deny functions as you would like. Its a bit of work if you have a lot of logbooks but its the easiest solution.

Hope that helps.

Elog Syntax guide is helpful for this stuff too.

 I haven't found a specific way to block viewing a log book. 

I use the top groups settings to keep users in the logbooks they only need access to.

Example

Top Group = Logbook Group1, Logbook Group 2

Group Logbook Group 1 = Logbook1, Logbook2

Group Logbook Group 2 = Logbook3, Logbook4

Then only assign users for logbook1 and logbook2 that you wish to view those logbooks only. They would have to go to the specific top group url in order to view the logbooks.

Then you can go to http://elogurl/(top group)/

And essentially just have the users view the only logbooks they are assigned to.

Can you show us your config? I had this issue when i was initially trying to integrate elog with apache.

 If they have admin rights, the add user button cannot be removed as far as I know.

But even if they can add a user, they only have ability to add a user to the single logbook they are an admin on so they wouldn't be able to add users to other peoples logbooks.

Not sure it helps but that's about all I can really speak to.
