Columns numeric input are added/computed, posted by Dawang on Fri Oct 23 03:36:18 2015

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 |

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.
I've taken a look at the source you mentioned, but as far as I can tell, it is just looking for the opening of the img tag in the |

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 |

inline jpg to png, posted by Jacky Li on Sun Oct 4 20:29:01 2015

Hi,
We have a user who posted a lot of inline jpg. The elog system converted those to png and thus cause the size of the elog to expand about
~4x of the original size. It is caused the problem of entry size too large for email notifications. Is there a way to turn off the conversion |

You can turn off thumbnail creation with
Thumbnail size = 0
as written in the documentation. The PNG files are "thumbnails" (= smaller versions of large pictures). Mostly people put large images |

I am honestly not sure if I understand the question. You can run ELOG behind an Apache Webserver. Look for example at https://midas.psi.ch/elog/adminguide.html#secure

Hello,
we have been using elog 2.7.1 as a logbook to signal problems and so on in our Engine Room Simulator for a couple of months now. Since this is
exactly what we're looking for, I've installed the latest release in our sailing simulator as well. On this occasion I thought about updating the |

Syntax for conditional list display, posted by Terry L on Tue Sep 15 18:04:35 2015

Good Morning,
I would like to limit the ability to edit certain attributes in an ELOG logbook, depending on the user who is logged in. I.e. if "guest"
or a standard "login user" is logged in, I only want to allow the user to edit "attribute1" & "attribute2" of say, 5 |

Hey Terry,
I don't think this is possible, since in general you cannot define config settings in a way that it would only affect specific users. For
example, you also cannot have different themes for different users (as stated here: https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68112 ) |

Hi Eddy,
Thank you for your response. I had a feeling that was the case, but I had high hopes! :) The reason I would like this feature is
because I am trying to use ELOG as a software anomaly tracking log, where any user can create an ELOG and fill out "category", "computer" |

Hi Terry,
if you really want to do it, you can find a way to make it work. But it is not straight forward and not what ELOG is made for.
Here some ideas how it could work:
ELOG allows you to have different commands for different users. You could allow "New"
and "Edit" for normal users, but "Reply" only for administrators.
You can use "Subst on reply <attribute> |

Oups: there is a flaw in this approach! You can only get different commands for Anonymous and Login Users. You cannot select different command for Admin
users: they will just have the "Config" command automatically.
You could allow anonymous users to make new entries and restrict login to administrators. But that is certainly not what you want, so forget |

elog client overwriting attached files when editing existing log, posted by Joseph McKenna on Wed Sep 16 02:47:33 2015

Using the elog client to upload atachments, I can successfully send attachments to an existing elog, however the existing attachments are lost.
I have tested using the elog client version 3.1.1 and elog client version 2.9.2 sending to elogd 2.9.0

Hey,
I think this is a "problem" of the elog client, since it simply replaces the data. In most cases this is what you want, but since I
wanted to have the option to append to the acutal message I built a function to first read-back the entry and add to the message instead of replacing it. |

Re: elog client overwriting attached files when editing existing log, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Sep 28 06:45:03 2015

The "elog" command has no "append" feature. You can either create a new entry, or you can overwrite an old entry. Therefore this
is not a bug but the intended bahaviour.
I admit that the documentation is misleading, since overwriting an existing entry is called "editing": |

Re: elog client overwriting attached files when editing existing log, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Sep 28 11:58:11 2015

You are right. "Edit" should be more like "Replace". I changed that in the documentation.
I acknowledge the request to replace or append only a specific attribute or attachment, and put it on my to-do list.

Creating ELog Links not working properly in HTML Editor, posted by Edmund Hertle on Mon Sep 7 12:44:42 2015

Hey,
the syntax for creating links to other elog entries has a small issue in the HTML editor. The link will not be created properly if there are

I can confirm this bug.
But I don't think this has to work as you've described it, when using the HTML editor: if you use HTML, you can use the link feature
of the editor.
But that link feature does currently not work at all with internal elog references, not even a simple elog:1"> |

Right, spaces won't work. But others work. Andreas, if you just put elog:1 without any link etc. just as plain text, it will be converted
automatically into a link.
A workaround is to explicitly specify a link to an elog entry. Press the link button from the editor toolbar, enter a name and copy the full |

Hi Stefan,
yes, I know that a plain text "elog:1" works in the HTML editor, too.
But if you put
"elog:1" in the URL field of the link dialog, then ELOG screws up: you get the text
