Hi Andreas,

>Of course the attachment has to be in the public logbook and the link in the hidden one.

The issue I have is that the attachment is in the hidden logbook, the link would have to be in the 
public one...

I'll also look again at putting in the links in the text (normally I use plain encoding, rather than html).

I wondered if there had been some flag for the config file whereby the original file for attachment was
processed by ImageMagick, but not stored, only the .png file(s) stored - or rather, some other way that achieved
the same end. as there is no such flag at present.

For now, anyway, I can attach the documents/pics I want, then go in and delete the 'originals' as saved in the
logbook, leaving just the .png files.  But maybe something for the wishlist?

Sure, but that works only from a hidden logbook into a public one, not the other way, but I think this is what David wants. Since the hidden attachment is not accessible from the public logbook, there is no way around that other than physically copy the message, then strip maybe the text. He is concerned about having the same attachment twice on disk, which I cannot fully understand. Even large attachments are maybe 10 or 20 MB, otherwise they take forever to go through your browser. With a modern 1 TB disk these are 50.000 attachments... 

If you just want to show a thumbnail of an attachment in a public logbook, then just add a link to it. like

<img src="https://abk.web.psi.ch/tmp/t.png" alt="" />

or in your example you show the thumbnail in the hidden logbook by adding in the text body:

<img src="<your-host-url>/public/110705_235520_whatthis-0.png" alt="" />

Of course the attachment has to be in the public logbook and the link in the hidden one.

OK, so no-one has ideas as per my question in elog:67088.

Looking at the issue from another angle.

If you attach a pdf file (for example), two files are added to the logbook:

../logbooks/hidden/110705_235520_whatthis-0.png
../logbooks/hidden/110705_235520_whatthis.pdf

Is there any way that you can select an attachent, but only the thumbnail (.png in this case) is stored (and
subsequently viewed)?  Options for ability to select an attachment, or how the thumbnail is manipulated/viewed
exist, but nothing about the storage or otherwise of the original document that I can find.

I've tried manually deleting the .pdf file (after going through the automatic routine to make an attachment),
and elog doesn't seem upset at the lack of the .pdf file at all.  The only time anything happens is if one
clicks on the image - and then you get a 'file not found' message from the browser - I could live with that.

In my case the original .pdf file is elsewhere, I've no need to have duplicates scatted in various logbooks, and
while ideally that would also be true of the thumbnail, it is fair enough for this to be stored in each logbook
where it is required.  This removes the issue of how to have an attachment in a different logbook (other than by
links, which would get rather tiresome to have to keep making).

Anyone any ideas?

After setting up email addresses for notifications I noticed that the "Full Name" has part of an email address in it. I've tried several ways to correct this however it keeps sending me to a page that says "Password may not contain blanks" and I've not done anything with the password.

Can you tell me how to correct this issue?

I certainly appreciate your help!!

Hello,

We've been using ELOG 2.6.5 to 2.7.8 for 4 years without any major problems.

Recently we upgraded to version 2.9.0 and since we've had the daemon frequently crash with SEGV.

I've detached debugging output from one time when ELOG the crashed. We've had many crashes
it was a different logbook each time. Platform is Solaris 10 5/08 on SPARC.

Has anyone else experienced problems with 2.9.0?

Best Regards

Kester

 Update: I checked through the forum some more (keying on "link" instead of "hyperlink") and found the answer to my main problem - I needed Allow HTML = 1.

So the only issue remaining is that so far I can only get it to work when I use a one word variable (please ref my point #1 in last paragraph above). When I use $Ticket Location vs just $Location, the HTML href sees it as two separate variables. Is there any way to ref $Ticket Location as a single variable in the href statement?

I have a street address attribute called Ticket Location which I would like to hyperlink to google maps so I can see a map representation of the actual value. For example, the value "654 Pembina" on the List page shoud be inserted into the url such that it  displays http://maps.google.com/?q=654 Pembina, winnipeg when the browser window opens. This url works fine when I manually type it directly into the address bar, however I cannot get it to work properly as a link originating from Elog.

This is what I have done so far: I added the following to my cfg file: Change Ticket Location = <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=$Ticket Location,%20winnipeg">$Ticket Location</a> ... but the resulting link does not end up contiguous on the single entry page, ie: <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=72217864 Location,%20winnipeg">72217864 Location</a>  .I also tried several variations in the cfg file without any better success (ie: double quotes; resorting to 1 word variable name; concatenating with +; etc).

Having this map link would be a tremendous help to our operation. Does anyone know of any way to make this work?

There's also two spin-off issues I'm having with the above approach that you may have noticed: 1) I also have another separate variable called Ticket (rep the actual ticket #) which Elog assumes I want in the url, hence the reason 72217864 shows up on the single entry opage; 2) Secondly, I prefer the single entry to retain the original value as the link (in this case, 654 Pembina), as opposed to <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=72217864 Location,%20winnipeg">72217864 Location</a>.

Any suggestions on resolving these issues is greatly appreciated.

Alan
