 | Yoshio Imai | | Request | Linux | 2.6.0beta2 | Conditional hiding of attributes in list view | Hi!
All here are amazed by how quickly this software has evolved since we
took our first look into the world of electronic logbooks.
In order to use it as our shift logbook, however, we have one request
which is in principle the same as that of Juliana Peng
(http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1280). We want to have the usual
maintenance/admin/problem report entries of the shift crew in the
same logbook as the automatic entries from our runcontrol software to
clearly see cause and effect when analyzing the beamtimes later. Of
course, the run entries have different attributes than the shift crew
entries. So, it would be nice to have the conditional "Show attributes"
function extended also to the list view.
I understand that the attributes layout might then change from line to
line, but since we have only two sets of attributes, that would not
matter (to us). Would you consider implementing this function (i.e.
evaluate the conditions and hide attributes also in list view),
if not by default, then maybe as an option of the config file?
Another nice feature (which we do not explicitly need, just a suggestion)
might be implementing a filter function in list view, such that only entries
with certain attribute values are displayed.
I have also found one possible problem, maybe it's already solved in the
newest version: We have set up the elog under an stunnel, but the elog
server also responds to the original port (i.e. 80), displaying the logbook
selection page and from there even the login screen. Only after logging in
the elog server redirects the client browser to the https-page defined with
the URL-statement of the config file. The whole thing seems like an unwanted
behaviour, but could you change it so that it either doesn't respond on the
wrong URL at all, or at least redirects to the secured URL before presenting
the login window, so that we transfer the passwords encrypted?
Cheers
Yoshio |

There are two ways:
a) put a "\" in front of the emoticon like this: \:) -> :)
b) put a [code] tag around your text. Any text inside the [code] tag is not interpretet like:
[code]Hello ;) [I]italics[/i] [/code]
note that the trick with the "\" only works in the current CVS version of elog. |

You specify what is sent by email notification with the Email format = <n> option. Adding the right numbers there, you can send only the notification, but not the contents or attachments. An alternative is to use the RSS functionality in Elog. With an RSS reader, you only see the subject, and can download the whole body upon request.

No, this is not possible without modification of elog. In principle you can tell elog that a certain attribute is an icon by using the "Ioptions author icon = icon1.gif, icon2.gif"), but then you get a list if possible icons each time from which you have to select. Not very convenient. The concept of an Avatar is not preent in elog, you bette choose a bulletin board system for that. |

| Mario Apodaca | mmapodaca@dimetek.com | Question | Linux | 2.5.9 | Email Notification and Icons | I have two questions:
1) When sending out email notifications, is there a way to surpress the entries that have been left on the logbook? I want to be notified that someone has posted, but not receive the posting in the email.
2) Is there a way to set icons to users, so that each user has a defined icon? I set up a new attribute called: Author Icon and then tried using conditional attributes to have an icon set to a specific user. When I tested by posting, in the Author Icon section I didn't have an icon, instead a text box appeared with the name of the icon.
Thanks in advance for your help. |

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Linux | 2.6.0-beta | Re: Long lines in printout | Your problem is related with the fact that I changed the formatting from fixed font to proportional font ("ELCode"). This gives you three options:
- Enter your elog entries in "plain" text, which brings you back to the old mode
- Change the page setup of your browser. Mozilla Firefox has File/Page Setup/Shrink to fit page and left and right margin
- Reduce the entry window via the config setting "Message width"

the lines are displayed as expected on the screen, but they are cut off when the browser window is printed via
the browsers print function.
This did not occur in a previous version (V2.5.6).

| Noah P | na | Question | Linux | 2.5.9+r167 | Re: changing the default to plain text rather than elcode | I, too, found that this elcode.js file was missing. However, it seems to be present on this demo site!
so, I downloaded it from this very demo site, and saved it to my system (in the root of your resources folder). This (so far) seems to have made the "ELCode" formatting mode work properly.
This is the URL I used. It seems that this file was ommitted from the latest distribution:
http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/elcode.js
Hope that helps! |
