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? |

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? |

No, I get a different result. If I put "Save drafts = 0" in the config example coming with the distribution, I get the following:

Display of draft entries in elog, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Dec 2 13:54:36 2016
|
Dear all,
there seems to be still lots of confusion with the new "draft modus" introduced in elog 3.1.2. Here is how it works:
If you edit an old or new entry, your changes are written to the elog server every few seconds. The entry in the elog database is marked as "draft". |

In version 3.1.2-416db9f I implemented a "Restore" button, which should fix the second drawback. If you press it, you should be able to go
back to where you started when editing an entry. |
Error: Entry text too big. Please increase TEXT_SIZE and recompile elogd, posted by Xuan Wu on Fri Nov 25 15:00:58 2016

Hi all,
A error came out when I pasted a photo in the text area with HTML Encoding. The photo is a snapshot from Print Screen. When I submitted
it, it said "Entry text too big. Please increase TEXT_SIZE and recompile elogd". How can I get rid of this? I've tried changing elogd.cfg |

I guee you tried to paste an image into the text area, and your browser somehow converted this into a text entry, which then of course can become very
long. Elog since vesion 3 supports drag-and-drop. You can drop an image from your local disk into the "Drop attachemnts here..." box at the bottom
of this page. You can also drag an image directly to the text box like this one: |

Thanks for your advice! I've test that dropping an image from my local disk into the text box with Elog-3.1.2. It did work. However, I
still have a question want to ask that When I paste a small image into the text area, I can submit it successfully. But when I paste a bigger one, it will
say "Entry text too big. Please increase TEXT_SIZE and recompile elogd". And There's the same result in https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/. |

How big is your image? I just tried a 5000 x 3600 pixel image (8 MB in size), and it worked fine on the demo logbook.

I just test on your Demo logbook. I use a screen-capture tool to create an image which doesn't been saved as a file, the size is 1920*1080(1.8M),
then copy it in clipboard, and then paste in text area. Then the web page become very slow, so that I can't submit it sometime. Sometime, I can submit
it but it say "Entry text too big. Please increase TEXT_SIZE and recompile elogd". If I drop an image file into the text area, it works. I used |

Ah, that's the difference! I always drop an image on the text area, never paste it. So please refrain from pasting.

Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Nov 16 13:48:33 2016

If I edit an old entry, and do some mistake while editing, then there is currently no way to savely discard the changes.
The problem is that the entry will become a draft: if I close the window without saving, then the whole entry is gone: it will be converted into
a draft entry. But the draft does contain my changes, it is not the originally saved entry! |

Re: Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Nov 16 14:01:18 2016

The problem is that the elog database does not allow for a copy of an entry before you make modifications (and therefore get a "draft"). This
is actually very simila to other note taking programs. I use Evernote, which constantly synchronizes between devices, and there I also cannot go back to
the version before I started making modification. What one would need is a version system (and Evernote has one), so you can go back to the previous verison, |

Andreas,
Doesn't using the Save Drafts = 0 option result in the old 'Back' button returning (replacing the Delete option) meaning
you can revert back to your old (unmodified) version without saving, sure it doesn't save a draft but I'd rather be able to return back and lose |

Re: Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Nov 17 09:14:15 2016

Yes, "Save Drafts = 0" does the trick. But it is the "zero-option": trivial, but not satisfying ;-)
Warning: the "back" button of the browser has a very undesired effect: the entry
is then converted into a draft and not shown anymore in list view! |

Re: Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Nov 21 15:07:05 2016

Well, the "undesired effect" you describe is exactly the reason for having drafts. Somebody works on a lengthy message, then the browser dies,
or the user by accident hits the "back" button and (by accidnt, ehem...) confirms the dialog popping up which says "changes will be lost".
In that case the draft mechanism should take care of that the lengthy message is not lost. That's where it is for. If one does not like it, one can |

Hello,
In my opinion, there should be a "close/return" button (discard changes), even with the drafts enabled, but effectively there will
have to be several saves made (at least before/after). |

Re: Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Nov 24 07:38:52 2016

Hi Stefan,
actually what you refer to as the "quick and dirty" solution is probably the only feasible one: to store a copy
of the entry in the browser and restore that copy with a "cancel" button.
Otherwise you would need a full-fledged revision management,
to deal with multiple copies of the same entry open in several browsers.
Yet, that does not solve the "problem" |

But as a first step, it might be worthwhile to document this behaviour
