That's a good idea. Unfortunately, "List Display" is already used to specify which attributes to display in list mode. So I changed "Display <attibute>" to "Change <attribute>" and added "List change <attribute>", just to be different from "List display". In principle "List display =" and "List display <attibute> =" can be distinguished by elog, but it could be confusing to have the same option for two different things. The downside is that everybody using "Display <attribute>=" has to change this to "Change <attribute>=". |
It works perfectly now  thank you Stefan |

Are you sure you got the latest CVS version and recompiled correctly?
I tried with following config:
[global]
port = 8080
[demo]
Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description, Main Function, Location, Memory, CPU Speed, Num CPU, Owner, Contact Name, Contact Phone, Contact Email, Bought From, Bought Date, Maintenance, Network Drop, Console Drop
Options OS = SunOs{1}, Linux{2}, Aix
{1} Show Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description
Then I added two entries, where OS = SunOS and Aix. As soon as I select SunOS, the attributes except those listed in {1} disappear. The same is true then for the single entry display. Here is the one with the Aix:
and here with SunOS:
So can you reproduce this? |
Thanks. But what I want is to hide the unwanted attributes at summary view, not just hide them when I click on entry.
Here is the example, can i hide the attributes at this page when I select SunOS:

No you can't do that.
Assume that you have different types of entries, ones where your unwanted attributes are missing and ones where they are present. If you would hide them, they would be missing even for the entries where you want them. Or you would change the table layout for every line, meaning that attributes which are common in all entries do not line up nicely below each other.
An other approach would be to make elog hide those columns which do not contain any value in the whole page, but that is not (yet) implemented. |

I may have all the attributes in logbook to keep a full record of all the machine. But for daily use, some of the attibutes we are not using so often. Too many attributes will make the window so big that can not be hold in one screen which is the reason why I want to hide some of them. Of course the hidden attributes have data, but those data are rarely used so we'd rather hide them.
Since "show attributes" prevent from inputing attributes, may not be suitable in this case. We appreciate if you can impletement a new feature like "view attibutes" which do not affect adding new entry, just hide attributes at summary view. |
Restrict Top Groups to logged-in users?, posted by Chris Green on Tue Jul 26 17:57:36 2005

Hi,
I'd like to be able to prevent non-logged-in users from seeing what logbooks exist in a top group. Currently it seems that one is only required to log in once one has chosen a logbook. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Chris. |

To protect the logbook selection page, you put the "password file = <file>" into the [global] section or the [global <top group>] section. So "hide" the top group selection page, you put a "show top groups = 0" into the [global] section. |

Use "list display = <attribute list>" to specify which attributes to show in the listing page. RTFM. |

I already had the "password file = <file>" in the [global <top group>] section but I was still able to see the logbooks in that section. Neither moving the password line to [global] nor setting Show Top Groups = 0 helped. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Chris. |
