Hi,
how can i make the author field read only on new postings? It should take the value from $long_name after login and without login there is no way to make new postings.
This is a part of my elogd.cfg
[global]
.......
Logfile = elogd.log
Logging level = 3
Login expiration = 24
Password file = ./passwd
.......
[Informations]
.......
Logout to main = 1
Logbook tabs = 1
Guest menu commands = Back, Find, Login, Help
Guest find menu commands = Find, Select, Login, Help
Preset Author = $long_name
Attributes = Author, Subject
Required Attributes = Author, Subject
........
Thanks Brassmann
|
All you need is an addition
Locked Attributes = Author

This (new) behaviour came from the request that some people id *NOT* want to
have the new author on the reply, but the *ORIGINAL* (they used an attribute
"Origial author" which should not be replaced on a reply). Therefor I added a
new option to resolve that. So please use
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name
if you want to have the attribut "Author" replaced by the current one both on
new entries and on replies. |

Re: Author drop-down menu length, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Mar 10 15:18:51 2014

I am handling several ELOGs for medium-sized collaborations (scientific experiments) with a large number of authors (~250) and chose to have single-user access and entries for every author - in the config file, the "Options Author"-List contains ~150 name for now.
However, the Author drop-down menu stops after ~100 names - is that a ELOG-webserver hard limit? I checked there is nothing strange in the author names following (no strange character, etc.).
I tested it on Firefox, Chrome, Safari - it does not seem to be a browser issue.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello Kay,
I had to look it up in the source code: yes, you are right, it is hard-coded in elogd.h
⇄
English (auto-detected) » English
elogd.h:#define MAX_N_LIST 100
You can of course change the limit and recompile.
As an alternative, you could have sub-menus with less than 100 entries (disclaimer: the following is untested example):
Attributes = author_range, author, ...
options author_range = A-K{1}, L-Z{2}
{1} options author = Andi, Bob, Camilla, Dennis, ..., Kay
{2} options author = Lily, Max, Norbert, Oscar, ..., Zeta
Cheers

Hello Andreas,
thanks a lot for your quick reply - both options are valid and working. For simplicity (the author list is generated automatically from a shell script) I opted for the first one.
Best regards,
Kay

Re: Author attribute as a Quick Filter?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Feb 6 15:46:11 2003

The "Quick Filter" facility only works for attributes which are avaiable as
an "Options <attribute> = ..." list. So if you have a "free" attribute like
the author, the systen would have to scan the whole logbook to find all
possible authors, which would result in some unacceptable performance
degradation. Nevertheless, in systems with a limited number of authors one
can add the "options author = ..." statement to get the selection box. The
behaviour is independent of the "Self-Register" setting. |

Well, that's how it should be. All other systems I know like Windows NT
Login, Linux login etc. are case-sensitive, so we should follow that standard. |
