Hi,
I'm trying to increase the entry text constraint but not sure how to do this. Couldn't find it in the documentation or may be I
missed it. Appreciate your help. |

Hi Illam
You actually have to change the source code of elog and then recompile. Download the code from https://bitbucket.org/ritt/elog/src/master/,
change the value of the variable TEXT_SIZE in the file src/elogd.h |

Is there a way to upload a file in custom input?, posted by Satyajit Jena on Tue Dec 15 14:50:55 2020

Hi,
I am trying to implement a Custom input forms by following this https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Contributions/49.
Is there a way to also insert an image or files to it? I want to take a snap from the iPad and want that to go as an attachment or attach a file(s) into |

When you submit a "normal" elog entry, you can click on "Choose file" to add an attachment. On a mobile device, you will then be
asked to select a photo from your library or take one with your camera. You can do the same on a custom form. You have to extract the code from the normal
submissoin form and program it on your custom page. It needs however some work and might not be straight forward. |

Thanks Stefan,
I am not yet able to figure out how attachment submission is done, I am trying. It would be helpful if you can refer me to some pointer.
With regards, |

length of condition names, posted by Harry Martin on Wed Dec 2 22:45:16 2020
|
The documentation describing the use of conditionals uses a single character (letter or number) for names of conditions. I don't see any update/change
to that rule anywhere in the docs.
I have been using multi-character condition names successfully. I find these are easier to use since they can be more descriptive |

You can easily use multi-character conditionals, up to 256 chars.

Options <...> vs ROptions <...>, posted by Wolfgang Bayer on Thu Apr 28 11:20:40 2011
|
According to section "Syntax of elogd.cfg" of the "Administrator's Guide" Options <attribute> = <list> and
ROptions <attribute> = <list> should be the same. But there is a litle difference, because choosing an entry of the Options-pull-down
menu causes a reload of the entry mask while choosing a ROption-radio-button the entry mask is not reloaded. This causes a problem using conditional attributes. |

Same problem here, in version 3.1.3. It would be very nice if this worked.

For conditional attributes, you have to use Options, not ROptions. Maybe I will implement that one day, but only if I will have plenty of time...

Duplicate entries, posted by Alan Grant on Thu Mar 16 15:15:34 2017
|
Periodically (rarely) on manually adding a record into Elog it generates a duplicate record with its own incremented ID and I don't know
why. I just delete the duplicate in the meantime but would like to know if anyone else has seen this and whether their is a answer/fix for it. Thanks. |

I've seen exact;y this effect, even though I have branching = 0 in my config file - so ordinarily no chance to have two
replies to an entry. My pointer aka mouse (I'm on Linux) is a bit dodgy, and sometimes disconnects/reconnects, so in effect gives
a very fast double click. I've always assumed that was the cause of the problem. The two replies have incremental IDs, and both those IDs |

I find that I can reply to a message ("original" message, if you will) without doing anything to the reply message (the "copy" of
the original message, if you will). If I then submit it, it gets saved as a new message, identical to the one I replied to.
I read through the options at the end of the docs. I did not see anything about a way to suppress identical messages, or a way to force |

I'm not sure if this is what you want.
If you want to prevent "accidental" replies being identical to the original message, you can force a situation where the user will
be alerted that they have to do something if they really want to make a reply. |

I was only commenting on the predicament as I have run into it also. I have required fields, but short of some sort of "abort" control
(curiously missing from the otherwise vast offerings of elog), I don't see any way to ensure that identical replies don't occur in any circumstance
that may arise. |

Hi Harry,
I'm just an elog (ab)user, not one of the developers. My original 2017 reply was to report an issue that was due to hardware, but somehow
overcame a configuration flag (no multiple replies to a single entry), which might have been the same problem as the original poster, Alan Grant, was observing, |
