Hi Andreas,

many thanks for your answer. I partially agree with you, because sometimes "for privacy" of my working group I don't want that other users (external users) know the existance of the other logbooks.

Do you think that will be implemented in future?

Best regards, Stefano

Well, Stefan would need to answer that. But if you are good with C-programming, you might implement it yourself?

There is a way to implement it; but it makes your installation a lot more complicated: you can have two ELOG servers. The first has all logbooks but requires authentification to read any. The second has only the public logbooks, and they are mirrored from the first.

Hello,

Is it possible to edit the entire elog config file via the elog frontend?  I see the config button 
on some screens but it only allows me to change user and password??

Thankx

Is there anyone out there who can help me get started using javascript in elog ?  Is there an example somewhere ... i suppose you put the code in the
scripts folder?

Basically I am trying to calculate age of an added person in the database and display it after the birthdate field.  I  want to do other stuff, but once I know how 
the interaction is done I can proceed.

Thankx heaps

Great job btw with this ELOG ... been using it for years now.  I see you can add forms with html also, this might interest me for the future.

In response to an elog-hang issue I've been having on the Windows platform, I am building a new Unbuntu 14 TLS VM machine to host the identical configuration so that I can more easily debug when the hang happens again. I don't mind beefing up the hardware resources to either eliminiate that as a factor or resolve the problem. I'll have a higher end CPU to deal with 20 to 50 clients doing searches through the data (since the elog configuration currently does not provide a setting to limit how far back it can search with Quick Filters - pretty please add this basic setting!), but the main question I have now is what is a good amount of memory to add to the VM? I suspect even with 30 concurrent searches going CPU power will have more impact than memory in the case of elog. Can someone please confirm my suspicion and also recommend a suitable amount of memory I should install? My data volume is about 25 MB, all textual (no attachmemts), and the number of daily files goes back about 5 years. Any other tips for the build is very welcome.

Hello there,

I am trying to format my entry form a little bit more practical and readable. I am struggling with the following:

• Numbers should be standard fields of 3 characters and can only be 3 characters wide (doing this by Format Leeftijd=1, css, 3, 3)
• Text Entry fields should be max. width of 15 characters ? 

Also struggling with mutliple fields on one line:

• Can Spacing between fields be controlled?  Even vertical spacing?
• When omitting the css in the Format syntax, the fieldname and field gets colored dark blue
  .. found via css inspection a part solution using this (Format Leeftijd=1, attribname, 3, 3), but then the value still gets colored dark blue

Also I see that when one formats the entry field in edit mode it shows differently in list mode. (for example set width is not enforced in list mode)

Anyone ?

The way and entry form can be customized is kind of limited in elog. You can use "format <attribute> = ..." to request a certain width, number of allowed characters and special CSS class (which of course you have to define). If you want a complete custom entry form, have a look here: elog:66909 . This requires however writing your own HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Thankx 4 the quick reply Stefan.  The link you provided does  not work .... could you point me again in the 
right direction?  Where can I find more info on this ability?

Thankx
