I've discovered, that if I switch my local elog to SSL, dropping of images starts to work (as expected). However... pasting stops. If I select "paste" popup, I got the message about my browser security settings not allowing to paste, and that I can paste in the popup window. In Firefox I can actually paste in the popup window (image appears there), but after clicking OK nothing appears in the editing window. In Chrome and Opera nothing appears even in the popup window. I played with FF security settings, enabling pasting for elog sites (both local and the demo on this site) as advised in many places on the internet, but it doesn't help. This may be a CKInter issue, although interesting that it works without SSL (and not properly, resulting in too big text being stored)

Hello,

The elog security suits me just fine: the content is not available unless users have logged in, and as administrator I have complete control over who that is and what their privileges are. I can easily share somewhat sensitive notes, plots, and findings without making them completely open to the world. 

I have a project which generates html pages, which I'm also not really supposed to make public to the world.  I'd rather not resort to attaching them to elog entries.

Could the elog security be extended to control access to other files I put on the server? 

Thanks,

It is not clear to me how "Format <attribute> = " works.  At first I thought
it would allow me to rearrange how attributes are organized on the html
"page"  using 
# <flags> Sum of following flags:

    * 1: Display attribute in same line as previous attribute
    * 2: Display radio buttons or check boxes in separate lines (if applicable) 

but this does not result in any behavior that I can see.  I must admit that
I am not sure what "Values used for single message display page:" means.

My goal is to provide a more compact page, taking small attributes and
running them across the page rather than straight down.

Thanks

Using the COMMENT feature to add guidance to an ATTRIBUTE works great, but
is it possible to add a TOOLTIP <ATTRIBUTE> = so as to save screen space? 
For a complex entry form it is desireable to try and have everything in a
single window and this, I think, would help.

Thanks

I've run into a situation where the SUMMARY view of a logbook will extend
beyond the righthand border, thus requiring the user to scroll right.  This
does not occur in FULL or THREAD mode.  Long lines in the TEXT attribute
appear to be "pushing" the display too far to the right.  Limiting the
number of displayed summary lines works unless the first line is too long.

A temporary fix for this is to set summary lines = 0

In the Entry form I am thinking, as this is when most people need some help. 
Perhaps the user could be clued in with a "Mouse-over each attribute for Help"
COMMENT at the top.

As for the PDA, no, it's just that some people around here get confused if they
have to scroll down.  Not a big thing . . . ;-> Hmmm, PDA . . .

Ok, I think I see now.  I was assuming it applied to the entry form as well.

Thanks!

Now that creates an interesting display - especially with the icons and radio buttons. 
But it works!

Thanks.
