It would be very cool to be able to select Full from the view menu and then scroll rapidly through all entries looking for that high res photo of a SQUID chip I took two months ago. Presently the photos are all full size so the Full view is slow to load and it takes a lot of scrolling to navigate. Can you implement thumbnails in Full view, and also in the single entry view? Clicking on the thumbnail should, of course, open the full size image.
For now, I'm just using the wysiwyg html entry format and dropping images into the entry, then right-clicking to set a small image size. Clicking on the image gives me a new window with the full size image, which works great.
I hope you don't mind the barrage of suggestions, and thanks again.

Thumbnail display in "full view" is implemented already. Let's take this entry: I insert a picture and scale it down via the "smaller" button:

Now if you display this forum in full view, the image is still shown as a thumbnail, which you are able to click in order to get the full resolution display. I don't know what is different in your case, maybe you are using an oder version of ELOG? |
Search Find Selected or List of Logbooks instead of all Logbooks. , posted by Alan Stone on Thu Sep 4 20:49:59 2008

I am using the CMS ELog remotely as a monitoring tool. Information is compartementalized into dozens of containers. I can create a find query URL, say last day, which then reloads every X minutes in Firefox. When new ELog entries are made, then appear in the refresh and catch my attention. But, my interests are somewhere between a single logbook and all logbooks. If I choose all CMS logbooks for example for one day, I usually end up with > 200 entries.
In short, I would like the ability to:
1) Select from the list of available logbooks when doing a search
2) Have more canned choices from smaller time frames, such as 1 hour or at least one shift (8 hours).
I do not see how to do this in the current elogd.cfg syntax instructions.
Thanks, Alan |

First of all have you considered using the built in RSS feed? With an RSS reader new entries are shown in a local notification box similar to new email. Some people like it.
1) This is not directly possible, but there is a trick: Define a URL to each logbook and put it into the Bookmarks Toolbar of Firefox. If you have many logbooks, this will however clutter up your toolbar. Then I recommend to make a subfolder in the toolbar and put them into it. Now firefox has the neat feature that if you click with the right mouse button on the folder, it offers you "Open All in Tabs". If you select this, you get a tab for each logbook in fireforx, and you can browse through each logbook individually.
2) This function was there long time ago (since I needed it myself) but somehow vanished. I added it back in revision 2126. You can now craft an URL like
https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/past-8
to show the last 8 hours. |

Sorry for the delayed reply.
Ideally I'd like a config setting so that by default all graphics are presented at a fixed thumbnail size, so the users don't have to edit the image size every time they add one. Clicking on the thumbnail would open the image full size.
This would by default streamline loading and scanning through pages with many large images, whether in Full view of an entire logbook, or when viewing individual entries.

Sorting Museremail, posted by Steve Williamson on Thu Nov 13 13:25:25 2008

Hi
I've just upgraded to 2.7.5 mainly because I wanted to have Museremail sorted. We use this to list contacts on an RFC form and it's much easier to find the ones you want when they are in a predictable sequence. As an extension to this it would be great if they could be sorted by the last part of their real name - typical user, give him a sweetie and he wants jam on it!
cheers

That's a bit hard since different groups enter their names differently. While for a human it's easy to figure out what the family name is (usually), this must not be true for a computer. So I would propose that you enter the real names in the sequence family name, given name like
Ritt, Stefan
Doe, John
then sorting will work as you like. |

Have you tried Thumbnail size = xxx in your config file? |

Good point! However, the current sorting appears to be done on email address rather than name. Having the option to sort on name, where we are in control of the format so could structure it accordingly, would be great.
