If you use an attribute "Entry" then the internal variable "entry time" will expand to the last value of
"$Entry"+" time", e.g. if you use it in "Thread display = $entry time, ..."

One side effect is, that the logbook selection page defaults to use
Last submission = $entry time by $author
Which then expands to an undesired result.

This is not really a bug, rather something you'll need to keep in the back of your mind.

unless i missed these in the docs some place:

1) a threaded display but collapsed threads unstead of all replies showing

2) the subject is the link along with the icon. it would make it a little   easier to click on the message if you run your montior on a high resolution...

Updating my toolbox.  Starting to use elog as, well, a logbook.  Kind of liking the short, sweet, to the point capabilities.

Which leads me to wonder if anybody has opinions on trouble ticket systems that work well with elog?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have a quick question regarding how to display text using the "Top text" 
feature in the elogd.cfg file.  I've made an entry that looks like the 
following:

Top text = <h1>TEXT TO DISPLAY</h1>

But instead of getting just "TEXT TO DISPLAY" I get something like this:

----begin page ---
/usr/local/elog         "TEXT TO DISPLAY"

...rest of page 

----end page ---

...that is, on the far left at the top of the page in unformatted text 
is "/usr/local/elog/" prepended to the text I want do display. 

I don't know if this is a bug, or (more likely) something misconfigured in 
my setup. But any help that could be provided would be most greatful.

Thanks,

Val   

 Hi,

I am using Top text becouse I would like to have the same header in all logbooks. However it is working in the "new user registration page" and I would like to evoid it. Is that possible?

Thank you so much!!

There are too many <table> tags when displaying a singel entry.  E.g.
in http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Config+Examples/1 the row 'Configuration Name'
is not aligned with the others (see attachment).

Looking at the HTML one sees that there are <table> tags for each row
which should not be there:

<tr><td><table width="100%" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td nowrap
class="attribname">Author:</td><td class="attribvalue">
Stefan Ritt&nbsp</td>
</tr></table></td></tr>

Hello,
  I am using template for some elogbook entries.

Is is possible to automatically change the template using the actual date in some filed. 

Something like: the template has a place-holder <start date> and this is replaced with today's date when a new entry is created.

I already have a "date" filed which is automatically filled, but I've been asked to have the date also in the template.

Thanks in advance

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.
