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.
|
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! |

The RSS feed is private by default. You install a client (like Sharp Reader under Windows). It stays in the icon tray and periodically checks for new ELOG entries. If there is one, it pops up a window similar to your email client. You click on it, and it shows all entries like this:

All you have to do is to enter the URL of the ELOG logook. Just add "elog.rdf" to the URL of the logbook as you would access it from your browser.
Here is the pop-up I got from writing just this entry:

Recently upgraded to 2.7.3 and I'm seeing html code filling up the reply window. Before I would just see [quote] and [/quote] around the original entry. Did I miss something in the upgrade? Thanks! |

Probably you did not install the FCKeditor. Just try a reply to this message, and you will see the many formatting icons on top of the page coming from that HTML editor. Without the editor, you will only see the plain HTML. You can switch back however to the old behavior by selecting the ELCode encoding. You can make this permanent with the "Default encoding =0" option. |

| dale cooper | agentdcooper@gmail.com | Question | All | 2.7.4x | 2 questions :: different colors in list view based on "type" + change verbage of "type" | hello all,
#1 i love ELOG : excellent app! i would like to ask/present a question here -- I have a couple of TYPE's defined as;
Options Type = Day Shift, Swing Shift, Night Shift
What I'd love to be able to do, is depending on what TYPE was selected during the creation of a NEW ENTRY in the ELOG "shift log" I'd love to display in the LIST VIEW (full, summary, or threaded views) different color's based on which TYPE was selected...
for example, if someone chose "Day Shift" that would be listed with a GREEN background, if someone chooses "Swing Shift" that gets a BLUE background, and so forth... I am wondering how one would go about implementing this?
second question... instead of listing the column named TYPE, can I just change it somewhere in the config to "SHIFT" so that in the list view, and even when in the NEW ENTRY form, I'd like it to show "Shift" instead of TYPE --- really I am just wondering if I can change the verbage that ELOG is using for the term TYPE? Is that doable?
Thanks for the app, I look forward to any reponses! I been editing the CSS, and once done think I'll add it to yr Config Examples, as I don't see many CSS themes there...
-peace- |

You can achieve this by using a "style" directive for this attribute. E.g. if your attribute is called "Shift" and entries with value "Day" should be green, value "Swing" should be blue, you should addStyle Shift Day = background-color:green
Style Shift Swing = background-color:blue (and so on) to the config file.

As long as I am not missing a key point in your problem, you should be able to define the names of your logbook attributes simply with the "Attribute" directive. So, if you want the users to enter the shift and the name of the shift leader, you would put a lineAttributes = Shift, Shift leader
Options Shift = Day, Swing, ... <and so on>
Options Shift leader = Mike, Edward, John, ... <and so on> and the logbook display should correctly show "Shift" and "Shift leader" in the header line of each entry ... |
