running more then one shell command when new entries is submitted, posted by kenzo Abrahams on Tue Oct 27 11:03:49 2015

Hi
Im just curious is it possible to run more then one command using Execute new = <command> or will i have to run a script to run muliple
commands. |

The reason why im asking if it can be done using the Execute option is because I need to have the message id of the entry that was submitted and in an
external script i dont have access to the variable

The command is passed to your shell, and some shells except more than one command. Most Linux shells accept commands separated by ';', which
you can try yourself by entering for example: ls *.c; ls*.h

If i put the ';' into Execute the rest of the command becomes a comment thats why i was trying to use '&&' instead. If I encapulate
the whole command in "" or '' then both commands are executed but the files im trying to write to gets created but no data is piped into
it. When I use Execute with one command and pipe its output to a file everything works fine though. |

As far as I know ELOG is recognising a configuration line as a comment only when it starts with a ';'.
I can assure you that
ELOG does not treat the rest of the line as a comment when you use a ';' within a $shell() command: I do it a lot and it works fine. Here's
a simple, generic example using the bash:
Preset Author = $shell(if [ $short_name = "Anonym" ] ;then echo $Author;else echo |

dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed, posted by Dani on Tue Oct 27 15:41:57 2015

Dear all,
Is it possible to have a dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed?
I would like to switch the template file depending on the attribute value (Type). |

I don't think that this is possible.
And it is not clear to me, how you would like it to work: I often use HTML tables in preset text, where the user should fill out columns (e.g.
for checklists). I wouldn't want the tables just to append when switching to another checklist. You could rather add a comment to the Type field, explaining |

thanks Andres for your response!
I was thinking that it cannot be possible, but , I had to try to ask in the forum.
for my question, I think that this could be left on user responsibility to take care about it, and add a comment the the text fied, explaining |

Please advise on how to set up selective email notification on logbooks; We want to send an email to specific people when an event that involves them
is entered?
At the moment, we currently get an email entry for every new logbook entry. Thanks |

Hi Julian,
there is a whole chapter in the documentation about that: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#email
If I have
to send email, e.g. for Controls issues entered in the operation logbook, I do send the email to a specific mailman mailing list for that group.
It
is cumbersome to manage email groups in the logbook configuration - in particular if the same lists exists in different logbooks. I only refer to the mailing |

Unfortunately elog cannot do calculations based on certain fields. You could however add some Javascript code (via "Bottom text = ..." for
example), which does that. But that requires JavaScript knowledge to do so.

Stefan, I am not an expert in this field so I wondered how one goes about finding someone to write this and how one amends the soruce code? Is that allowed?
Is it a feature than may be of use for other users? Julian

Run the elog command with an additional -v flag (verbose output), and you will see what the elogd server return. It's
HTML, but you should be able to see some error message.

The error message I get is "Error: Command Submit not allowed". I dont know if this might be an issue but it says Response Recieved:

This indicates that the username/password is not correct. Can you log in to that logbook in your browser with the username "John" and password
"Blue"?

Hi Stephan I got it to work for some reason elog was complaining that my encoding of the message wasnt allowed. I allowed the lognook to allow ELcode
and it works perfectly.

Hi Stefan,
Good day. I'm thinking if this wishlist is already available in elog. The values in columns we're added or computed according to formula
set in a single separate column. |

No, formulas are not yet implemented. For such things I would use Google Spreadsheets in meantime.

Show attachments = 0, posted by Eric Quintero on Wed Aug 12 23:44:16 2015

I have "Show attachments = 0" set in [global], but attachments are shown in the "Full" view. Is this the intended behavior?
Looking at individual entries correctly hides the attachments.
We use inline images often, so when an attachement is shown at the bottom of a post it is effectively a duplicate, which clutters things |

Re: Show attachments = 0, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Aug 13 08:41:57 2015

That's strange. If you use HTML or ELCode encoding, attachments are automatically hidden if they are used inline. So no "Show
attachments = 0" necessary! I just tried that with the demo logbook and here is how it looks:

The automatic hiding behavior is what I'm after, and I've discovered that it is only a problem for PDF attachments.
I have reproduced this on the demo logbook on git revision f828049.

Hm, looking through the source, there are many many places where PDF files are treated differently than strictly image filetypes (PNG, etc.). This makes
sense in the context of multi-page documents.
Still, I like using PDFs for vector plots... I suppose I should also confess to the following modification I've made to my ELOG for treating |
