My elog is named "Whatever Elog" so the URL generated is /Whatever+Elog . This works fine but when in the interface certain buttons generate this URL : /Whatever%20Elog  ...this URL fails.  It seems that elog does not recognize these ( + and %20 ) as the same which I believe they should be as part of HTTP request.

Can you be a bit more specific which buttons you mean? The demo logbook https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/ has also a space and I cannot see any problem there.

 Years ago I had a similar issue, although I cannot remember the exact details now.  The consequence is that I don't leave any spaces in the log book names.  However, I did find that '&' was fine, and the ampersand and %26 are interchangeable in a logbook page, so one logbook is ECP&SIW, and using ampersand or '%26' work interchangably when making llinks from other logbooks to ECP&SIW  (that is elog:ECP&SIW or elog:ECP%26SIW work equally well)..    This is not true of elog.cfg, where only the actual character should be used.  This may be true for some other urlencoded characters.

It may be of note that %20 and '+' are not the same urlencode and character - %20 is a space, '+' is %2B, and a brief bit of playing around shows that elog is not so tolerant of those characters as it is with & and %26, and I crashed mine several times but I was only playing, nothing serious was lost.

 Having written the above and posted it, I see the links for ECP&SIW I wrote here don't work the same as in my local logbook.  I did check!  Result is treat the above posting with caution.  Although this is not the first time when something works fine on my local logbook but not here on the Mother of all elogs.  Different flavour of linux?

Hi all,

I am successfully using ELOG V2.9.2-2455 to manage several laboratory logs.

I am looking for a way, if possible, to format the subject attribute in bold type while in thread display.

I've used the following code

Display Subject = <b>$subject</b>

with no success, then I've tried

Subst Subject = <b>$subject</b>

again with no success. It seems that the <b> tag is not iterpreted.

Have you any suggestion about this?

Thank you in advance.

Paolo

Hi Paolo,
you've made two little errors, one is partly driven by a bug in the documentation:

1st: If you want to use HTML tags in the display of attributes, you need to add "Allow HTML = 1" in the configuration.

2nd: The proper command is not "Display <attribute> = ..." but "Change <attribute> = ...". It is actually correct in the documentation (Change <attribute> = <string>), but the example is wrong (Display Telephone = <a href="http://any.company.com/telbook.cgi?search=$Name">$Name's telephone number</a>)

Stefan should fix the example in https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#attrib some day.

Cheers
Andreas

Dear Andreas,

thank you very much for your prompt reply and for you suggestions, which helped me to solve the problem. Now it's all working perfectly.

  67674   Mon Mar 10 12:15:07 2014 Question Kay Grafkay.graf@fau.deQuestionLinux2.9.2-2455Author drop-down menu length

I am handling several ELOGs for medium-sized collaborations (scientific experiments) with a large number of authors (~250) and chose to have single-user access and entries for every author - in the config file, the "Options Author"-List contains ~150 name for now.

However, the Author drop-down menu stops after ~100 names - is that a ELOG-webserver hard limit? I checked there is nothing strange in the author names following (no strange character, etc.).

I tested it on Firefox, Chrome, Safari - it does not seem to be a browser issue.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello Kay,

I had to look it up in the source code: yes, you are right, it is hard-coded in elogd.h

 
English (auto-detected) » English
 

elogd.h:#define MAX_N_LIST      100

You can of course change the limit and recompile.

As an alternative, you could have sub-menus with less than 100 entries  (disclaimer: the following is untested example):

Attributes = author_range, author, ...
options author_range = A-K{1}, L-Z{2}
{1} options author = Andi, Bob, Camilla, Dennis, ..., Kay
{2} options author = Lily, Max, Norbert, Oscar, ..., Zeta

Cheers

Andreas

Hello Andreas,

thanks a lot for your quick reply - both options are valid and working. For simplicity (the author list is generated automatically from a shell script) I opted for the first one.

Best regards,

Kay
