By now, I'm one step further. List conditions = 1 does have some effect in some cases - the following works:

Options Type = Type1{10}, Type2{11}
Options StatusA = Status-A-red, Status-A-orange, Status-A
{10}Style StatusA Status-A-red = background-color:red
{11}Style StatusA Status-A-red = background-color:green

This seems to get evaluated "top-down", i.e. the value of "Type" in the first row in the list sets the handling of StatusA and the background-color, the second row for the third and so on. Unfortunately, this really only depends on the order of the rows on the screen - if I sort the list differently, I get a different result.

I am also quite certain that List conditions = 1 has no effect whatsover on List display - which is what I was hoping for.

Hence, I'd like to repeat my question: Is there any way to hide columns in List view (short of editing the conf file...) - and if so, how?

elogd is crashing with a segv when I try to create a new logbook by clicking the "Create new logbook" button
with an existing logbook selected in the dropdown list as a template. I've attached my config file for
reference. As a specific example, I'm logged in as the admin user, viewing logbook "1248", which has no entries,
and I click "Config" -> "Change config file" -> "Create new logbook", Select "1248" from dropdown list, enter
"1250" for the new logbook name, and click "Create new logbook".

The server crashes, and my web browser has the following as the (incorrect) URL it's trying to load:
(Incorrect because the "/ATLAS" shouldn't be there.)

https://localhost:8080/ATLAS/1250/?cmd=Config

Nevertheless, the config file and logbook directory are properly modified for the new logbook, and on restarting
the server, everything is fine.

Oh, just noticed that if I manually enter the URL:

https://localhost:8080/ATLAS/1250/

or actually, any text in place of the "1250", it also crashes the elogd process. So, perhaps there are two bugs?

(1) Incorrect URL being given to the web client after logbook creation
(2) Requesting any incorrect URL of this form crashes elogd

I just ran into the following bug:

I have a logbook where entries have several attributes, among which several dates. All of these are set to "Type <attr> = date". If I use the "Select" action, tag several entries and subsequently chose "Edit", the values of all date attributes are wiped. All other attributes are kept at their original values, unless changed explicitly. For the date entries, the date choosers are shown (as when editing a single entry), but all set to blank.

Editing single entries works fine.

Can you describe what you exactly enter in this forum to produce the error so that I can reproduce it?

This problems have been fixed in SVN revision 2135.

; General settings
List conditions = 1

; Attributes
Attributes = Type, Created, StatusA, StatusB, Archived

; Options & Tooltips
Options Type = Type1{10}, Type2{11}

; Conditionals
{10}List display = Edit, Type, Created, Status
{11}List display = Edit, Type, Created, StatusA, StatusB, Archived

 Indeed you got something wrong. The conditional attributes are meant for the input form, so you can turn some attributes on and off or choose different options for an attribute depending on the value of another attribute.

The only way I see how you can achieve what you want is to define two separate logbooks, but serve them from the same directory (via the "Data dir" option). Both logbooks should share the same attribute definition, but use different "List display" options.

 By using the configuration option "Bottom Text Login = ..."

Thanks for the response! BTW: I did get a notification - but thanks for the "personal heads-up"!

 I see. In that case, could you maybe please give a quick explanation what "List conditions" is supposed to do? In conjunction with your statement above I'm now thoroughly confused as to what it should/could be used for...

 Ah, that's an idea - I'll look into that. Thanks a mil for the suggestion!
