| Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Question | Windows | 2.7.3 | Re: Syntax for conditional list display | 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 my suggestion altogether.

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> = <string> " to set a specifc fields only on reply.
- You would hide "status" & "assignee" for new entries or edit
(Show Attributes Edit = <list> ), and show a "set status" field instead.
- The line "
Subst on reply status = $set status " would take care, that only an administrator can set "status" with a reply to the original entry (+ a "set assignee" field, etc.). While normal users could set "set status", it would not change the "status" field. You could provide a comment or tooltip to explain that.
- The list view or single entry view should not show the "set status", but only the "status" attribute (
List display = <list>, Show Attributes = <list>).
- Use "
Propagate attribute = status, assignee " to take care, that the original entry gets their fields set accordingly.
This is how you could do what you want. But bugzilla can do a lot more if you are looking for a bug tracking software.
Cheers, Andreas

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" etc, but only administrators can fill out the "status" & "assignee". If I am lucky, this will be an added feature in a future revision.
Thanks again,
-Terry

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 )
Cheers

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 attributes. However, if an Admin user or specific user, say "Terry" or "Bob" is logged in, I want to allow ALL 5 attributes to be editable. To expand on this, I may want to even limit the visibility of the attributes as well.
I've read though "Condition Attributes" section of the help page, but it is not clear to me how/if I can do this? Is that section even relevant to what I want to accomplish?
Can anyone provide some guidance?
Thank you for your time & help!
Sincerely,
Terry

| Jean Pierre Vandecandelaere | JeanPierre.Vandecandelaere@vdab.be | Question | Windows | 3.x.x | "not a valid Win32 application" error on versions 3.x.x | 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 logbook in our engine room simulator as well. Unfortunately I cannot do that, because I get the error "elogd.exe is not a valid Win32 application" with every version of elog higher than 2.9.2 (so every version 3.x.x). The difference between our two simulators is that the elog package for the sailing simulator is installed on a Windows Vista machine, while the version for the engine room simulator is installed on a Windows 2003 Server.
Question: can I get/find/compile the latest version as a Win32 application and if yes: how or where?
Thanks,
Jean Pierre |

| Richard Stamper | richard.stamper@stfc.ac.uk | Question | Windows | 3.1.0-c701f01 | Re: FCKEditor not working correctly on a Windows server. | If you are using IE as your browser, the problem may be with that rather than the server. By default IE 11 display intranet sites in a "Compatibility mode" which breaks the FCKEditor in Elog version 3. Fortunately this mode can be disabled, which is what I have had to advise users here to do.
- Click on the "cogwheel" and select "Compatibility settings"
- Deselect "Display intranet sites in Compatibility view"
Pictures attached

Sorry for the late reply. I have installed a slightly newer version of Elog, but the results are the same. I do get de the 3 editor bars, but the top 2 are greyed out and the bottom one doesn't do anything if clicked. I have commented out the lines that refer to the online equation editor, but that doesn't help much either. I think I let it rest. The old 2.9.xx version still works great, so we leave it at that.
Thanks anyway for the suggestions

Hi,
After working many years with previous versions of ELOG, I decided to update to the latest version.
I have installed ELOG version 3.1.0 on a WIndows 2012R2 server with IE 1. The editor is showing up, but everything is greyed out, execpt for some items on the bottom row. (Style, Lettertype...) and after I do load a preset text form with different colors, the page remains white. The tables and text in the form is showing up.
The previous version with the older editor was working great on the same server.
Any suggestions?

| Dawang | raymund.dawang@gmail.com | Request | Windows | Latest | Columns numeric input are added/computed | 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.
Thanks,
