  66792   Thu Apr 22 09:51:07 2010 Question Diogo Alvesdiogomiguelalves@gmail.comQuestionLinux2.7.7Recursively open a new attribute of the same type

Hi,

I have a logbook which, among other things, contains these attributes:

Options Ingredient = Egg, Oil

Options Quantity = 2, 0.1L

Now, I would like to, every time I select an ingredient and respective quantity, that another Ingredient and Quantity field opens up for me to procede addind them.

I've searched in the documentation and found nothing related to this. Maybe I missed it. Is it possible to do this?

Also, is there a way to display 2 attributes in the same row? Messing with CSS is probably the only answer ... correct?

 

Thank you very much,

Diogo

Hello,

The elog security suits me just fine: the content is not available unless users have logged in, and as administrator I have complete control over who that is and what their privileges are. I can easily share somewhat sensitive notes, plots, and findings without making them completely open to the world. 

I have a project which generates html pages, which I'm also not really supposed to make public to the world.  I'd rather not resort to attaching them to elog entries.

Could the elog security be extended to control access to other files I put on the server? 

Thanks,

If you don't want  to make elog attachments, don't use elog at all. Just use a simple web server like Apache. Most web servers have some mean to protect certain web pages with passwords etc.

Stefan,

i recently download the elog server for windows and configured. its working with me fine

i would like to configure my elog server for to display a different color when am giving a specific "value" for a attribute "Status".

from the documentation i found to use the

Style Status Fixed = background-color:green

but with this configuration, the entire raw will be with red color or the specified color. i am looking only for that specific box (Status column) to be with specific color.

my configuration is as follows

Attributes = Author, Type, Category,  Subject, Location, Problem Description, Status

Options Status = Fixed, Under Process, Not Fixed

Style Status Fixed  = background-color:green

Style Status Not Fixed  = background-color:red

Style Status Under Process  = background-color:yellow

Am attaching two images, one is current display and next one is what i am looking for

am not sure about will it possible or not.  please guide me. if it possible with javascript please tell me how i can include a external javascript for this pupose.

Thanks in advance

I have added a new option for you:

Cell Style <attribute> <value> = ...

which does exactly that. The new version is 2.7.8-5 is ready for download.

Found a thread from 2004 ("External authentication") asking about the possibility of tying that in with ELog and answer was "Not yet". With time past, any chance this is now possible? I didn't see any more info on that since. 

I'd like to explore using AD to set up/manage groups for ELog authentication. Alternatively, is there currently another way with ELog to manage groups?

Regards.

External authentication is still on the list. But I'm not sure what is the best way: LDAP, PAM, Kerberos. Should work under windows and linux. Unfortunately I won't have time in the next few months to implement that, but it stays high on my todo list.

Hi

When I upload a message with a attachment (and also without an attachment) I get this message:

"No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file"

However the file and the text have been uploaded. So why does it gives me this message, and how do I work this out?

Best Regards

This error comes if you have configured email notifications, and no SMTP host defined in the configuration file. Elog has to contact your SMTP server to send any email. Read the email notification paragraph in the documentation.
