When I upload a HTML-File as attachement the file is shown as the
HTML-source and not as the formatted text. Is there a possibility to see the
HTML-attachements as formatted text like images are shown as images?

Yesterday I mad a little experiment:
I copied in OpenOffice the content from my HTML file, which was not shown correctly
in ELOG, to a new HTML file, uploaded it in ELOG, and now my file was shown
correctly formatted. The only one problem is that not all lines are shown, in the
last line is written ...1753 more lines... . How can I show all lines? Do I have to
recompile ELOG?

I think this is reasonable. All the HTML-files which I want insert (created with the software
INCA) are not shown correctly. My testfiles made with OpenOffice are shown correctly. Maybe
you have the time to program an option for the attachement "Show inside/Show in new window or
tab", so that the user can choose, how his HTML file is shown. Similiar to the option "Submit
as HTML text".

Hi,

Is it possible to restrict the display of logbook entries to the entries 
created by the currently logged-in user?

I'm thinking of using the ELOG system in a school laboratory environment: 
students must write entries in the logbook about their excersises, but I 
would like that students can not "see" what other students have written. To 
make it even more complicated, I would like that students can see their own 
entries and the teacher entries.....

Is something like this possible?

Thanks in advance

An options list that starts with a double-quotes character (") is handled 
incorrectly. 

Try the line: 
Options Student name  = "Doe, John", "Foo, Bar".

The ELOG list will have four entries, namely:
 - Doe
 - John
 - "
 - Foo, Bar

Hi,

I want to create a series of logbooks, say logbook A, and logbooks B up to 
including S. I want the logbooks B,C,D,E,...S to have the same options and 
layout, the only difference is: the name of the logbook, and an options or 
extendable options list. All other settings of logbooks B-S are the same, 
while logbook A is a completely different logbook. 

I know I can simply copy the settings for logbook B and repeat the settings 
for all logbooks C-S. But is there a better way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Hi, 

I was just searching your online discussion forum for entries with the 
word 'password' in the subject. I noticed that the 'Full' option in 
the 'full/summary/threaded' line displays the results of all entries in the 
logbook, and not only the entries with the word 'password' in the subject.

I think there is an error in the URL, because when looking for the word 
password in the subject, the URL for the 'Full' option is:
http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/page1?mode=full&reve&npp=8&Subject=password

If I change the word 'reve' in this URL to 'reversed=1', the results are 
correct

Thanks for you quick and correct answer. I have one question left ;-)

Suppose I want to have different password files for all the logbooks, but I want to 
have a single (admin) user that can log in to all logbooks... Do I need to specify 
the admin data in all the different password files, or can I use one global 
password file containing the login name and password for the administrator?
