| Dennis Seitz | dseitz@berkeley.edu | Request | All | | Make Email All = <list> override Suppress Email checkbox | I would like to be notified by email of some logbook entries regardless of whether the user has chosen to suppress email or not.
This way I will always be aware of new entries, and users will still have the option of notifying a larger group of other users, or not.
As far as I can tell, presently the Suppress Email checkbox overrides Email All. |

If I make "Email all" override the suppress email checkbox, some uses would complain "I check the supporess box, but my admin still gets email, what am I doing wrong here?". So while this works for you, it will not be desired for everybody. I would have to add another parameter just for this request. Couldn't you instead use the RSS feed functionality? This way you well see all entries, independent of the email notification. You can use special RSS feed readers (your browser and email client probably support this already).
|
Hmm, I see your point, but wouldn't using the RSS feed have the same effect? Or are you saying the users just wouldn't know about it, so they wouldn't complain? 
I haven't explored the RSS feed options yet. I'll study them.

Dennis Seitz wrote: | OK, now I realize how stupid I sound here. To partially answer my own question: $entry time is a string and Last Edit is now a number since I have changed it to the datetime type so that it will sort properly.
So I can't make Last Edit = $entry time. Is there some way I can access the entry time in datetime format so that I can set Last Edit equal to that? |
Ok, now I got your point. Sorry for the late reply, but I was extremely busy the last few weeks. I added the missing functionality to elog revision 2108, so the 'subst on edit Last Edit = $entry date' does now work. |
Thanks! Do you mean '$entry time', or did you create a new parameter? (I don't see $entry date in the elogd.cfg reference)
Anway, thank you! |

The RSS feed you have to "pull" actively with a client (which of course can be periodically in an automatic way). So no pull, no notification, happy users 
|
Hmm. Is there some way to set up a private RSS feed for me only?
If not, I would humbly ask that you add an option. I don't want to generate unnecessary email to users, but I need to always be notified for some logbooks. I'm responsible for some hardware on our project and I want to know any time someone reports a problem. The best solution is to still let users decide whether they want to subscribe to logbooks, and whether entry notification should be suppressed or not, but also have an admin override privilege. There could be a disclaimer "admin is automatically notified of all entries" at the top of the edit page.
If this can be done with a private RSS feed to me only, then that's fine. I still don't use or understand RSS feeds very well, sorry. I'd rather all users did not have the option to be alerted to every new entry, when email suppression is enabled. That would be contradictory, I think.
Thanks for listening!

Yes, of course I mean '$entry time', sorry for the misspelling. |
Well, we really appreciate the way you keep adding features and making improvements. I thought you might have slipped a new one in! |

| Dennis Seitz | denseitz@comcast.net | Request | | | thumbnails in list and entry views? | 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. |

Thumbnail display in "full view" is implemented already. Let's take this entry: I insert a picture and scale it down via the "smaller" button:

Now if you display this forum in full view, the image is still shown as a thumbnail, which you are able to click in order to get the full resolution display. I don't know what is different in your case, maybe you are using an oder version of ELOG?
|
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Ideally I'd like a config setting so that by default all graphics are presented at a fixed thumbnail size, so the users don't have to edit the image size every time they add one. Clicking on the thumbnail would open the image full size.
This would by default streamline loading and scanning through pages with many large images, whether in Full view of an entire logbook, or when viewing individual entries.

| Dennis Seitz | dseitz@berkeley.edu | Bug report | | 2.7.3-2109 | Show/Hide links are displayed but don't work if Show attachments = 0 | If I add this statement to a logbook config file:
Show attachments = 0
When viewing and individual entry, attached images are not displayed, which is as intended, but the links Show/Hide and Show All/Hide All are still displayed although they do nothing when clicked except switch between Show and Hide. Clicking on an image opens it in a separate window.
Could you make show/hide and show/hide all work? This way, by default the images are not displayed, but the default could be overridden on a case by case basis as desired, and the images displayed inline in the same window with the entry.
Thanks!
