Hi Neal,
you can preload words into one attribute field, but one field is either editable or not, you cannot protect single words in a field.
But the ELOG way to solve this would be to have multiple attributes: you would get one entry field for each attribute.
Just look at this logbook: it has the attributes Icon, Author, Author Email, Category, OS, ELOG Version and Subject.
You can change the content of each attribute (except of "Author", that field is made here to be not editable), but as a normal user you cannot change the names in front of the fields.
Did you've set up the demo logbook and played around with it? Because your question suggests to me that you don't figured out yet what ELOG does. (Or as a direct answer: no, it does not make sense to me ;-) )
But I'm sure you'll figure it out: ELOG is best learned by trial and error.
Kind Regards
Andreas

Sorry I call this field that you write in the subject field, a little confusing.
So is there anyway to fix the indicated words in place in this typing space so you can enter the text you want next to them but be unable to delete them. (does this make sense?)

Dear Neal,
I don't understand your example. There is no such thing as a "subject field". You can define an attribute called "subject", like in this logbook.
But I would guess that you want to have five attributes "Time Off", "Reason", etc. that cannot be altered after an entry has been created? That's easy.
Or do you want to protect entries with specific content not to be deleted? That is not easy.
Please explain in more detail what you want to achieve, and I'll be happy to help.
Cheers, Andreas

We are still playing around with ideas, just thought I'd ask, didn't think it was possible.
We are ok with setting attributes but this is new to us as yet so may have more questions later.
Looking to produce, initially a shift running log and then many other logs for ISIS accelerator departments here at Rutherford Lab.
Thanks for the advice.

Side effects of draft messages (was Fixed text), posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed May 27 08:54:27 2015
|
Hi Stefan,
I got an answer to a forum entry before I actually finished writing my post! It is obviously possible to reply to a draft message.
I think it would be excellent if draft messages would only be shown to their authors (except maybe in case of an anonymous author).
It feels wrong if I watch people while they making an entry ;-)
Anyway, it is just an idea.
Cheers
Andreas

ELOG Version field in elogs/Forum, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri May 29 09:38:40 2015

Hi Stefan,
could we change the format of the "ELOG Version" field in this logbook, that one can enter the full git revision
number?
That would be 13 characters.
Cheers

Drag-and-drop not working in elog 3.1.0, posted by David Wallis on Fri Jun 5 23:08:43 2015
|
Drag and drop for attachments dosn't work on either Chrome 37.0.2062.94 (64-bit) or FIrefox 31.5.3 (both on Linux). D&D works on the midas.psi.ch demo page.
On my logbooks, the "drop attachements here" area does not have a dashed line border.
I don't see anything in the elogd.conf file that pertains to this feature. |

Auto save feature not working on 3.1.0, posted by David Wallis on Fri Jun 5 23:10:27 2015
|
Auto-saving does not seem to be working. In the config file, I have the following:
Save drafts = 1
Autosave = 10
but I never see the "auto saving" message or get any other indication that the feature is working.
Am I missing something? |

As you've pointed out, for the very same browsers D&D works with the Forum, and that is ELOG 3.1.0.
Hence I can only conclude that it is neither a browser, nor an ELOG issue, but a problem of your local installation. Maybe you try with a fresh and clean installation first? What Linux are you using, by the way?
Or you've picked by bad luck a 3.1.0 version where D&D did really not work. But I cannot tell, since you did not specify the git revision in the ELOG version (it is possible now ;-)
Cheers

Side effects of draft messages (was Fixed text), posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Jun 9 13:01:50 2015

I changed it such that drafts are not shown at all in ELOG. The only way you realize them is if you hit "new", and you will be prompted if there is any pending draft.
