Disable Delete option when user has the capability to Edit an entry, posted by John Becker on Wed Nov 30 18:06:26 2016 
|
Hi, I have a logbook where users can add entries and edit entries.
The delete option has been removed from the menu, but when they edit an entry they are able to delete the entry.
Is there a way to remove the Delete option from the menu that appears when Editing an entry?
Please advise,
Thanks,
John

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your reply, I did as suggested but the button "Delete" still appears when the edit entry is selected.
Am I overlooking something?
Regards,
John

Hi Stefan,
Found it, it was a typo.
Thanks for your patience and support.

John

No, I get a different result. If I put "Save drafts = 0" in the config example coming with the distribution, I get the following:
sot he "Delete" button is replaced by a "Back" button.
Probably you have an old version of elog, hava a typo on your config, or something like that.

Elog stopped working, posted by John Becker on Wed Mar 29 14:48:40 2017

Dear all,
I have elog version 3.12-bd75964 installed on an Ubuntu OS. We started working with it yesterday and today I was informed that the users could not connect to the elog. When I tried it was also not possible to get to the elog website. After restarting the Ubuntu machine everything was back to normal.
Is there a log I can check to find out why the elog stopped working?
Regards,

How to edit Elog landing pages., posted by John on Thu Mar 14 06:38:12 2019

Hi and thanx for such a wonderful program! I was wondering how I might edit, change or add to the landing pages. In other words the first pages that show up (or any for that matter) when you login to a book. I can view the code ok in my browser using that function, but when I search for the actual page and it's locale, I cannot find it. Is it created on the fly by the server? If so, how can I change them.. as I want to add for instance javascripts to manipulate the pages and data more, without actually loosing the main essence of the program (log books). Thanx |

Well I answered part of my own question already.. I can have a start page different from what is default, and I can edit the orginal one by simply copying it and modifiying it to my hearts desire. I still have isues after making menu selections from that page tho, when the program (server) takes me to a site called for example: ../forum/index.html?cmd=Config. I cannot find out how to prevent or modify this behaviour. I am supposing tho, that because I am using my own original index.html (start page), that the program is not modifying it (on the fly), like it does with the oringal web pages? I am also still currious if the program does indeed create/modify pages on the fly, and if it does, where does it store them on my hard drive (or is it only put in memory temporaly?). Thanx again :)

Wow Stefan thanks for your kind reply. This gives me a reason to finally pickup JavaScript, which I am finding both easy and fun, esepcially with all the modules/coding out there already, which makes things easier to do while learning it! I will let you know as I progress on my 'top secret' hack of your masterpiece ;)

Per default, all pages are created dynamically by elogd directly from its C code. So nothing to change easily except hacking the code. There is one exception which is the start page you found already. To change any other page, you have to modify the C code. There is one more (dirty) trick: You can sneak in JavaScript code on every page via the "bottom text" option. This code can then modify the DOM tree and changes pages, but you need to program this in JavaScript.

How to sort on any field?, posted by John on Tue Apr 30 05:52:44 2019
|
Hi, I was wondering if this is possible. I've tried to sort on anything other than the first few fields and although the screen refreshes like it is 'doing something', it does NOT sort. Sometimes it will take me to the last page of my data, but still no sorting. I use Debian Linux verson of Elog. There have been no other issues. I need to figure out how to do this without parsing it to another program first. Thanks again for this wonderful program :)
