  1265   Thu Jul 14 12:47:06 2005 Entry Emiliano GabrielliAlberT@SuperAlberT.itBug reportAll short/long_name should point the same user
.. I mean that if I use:
Restrict edit                 = 1
; preset author and email
Preset Author                 = $short_name
Preset Author Email           = $user_email
Preset on reply Author        = $short_name
Preset on reply Author Email  = $user_email
Subst on reply subject        = Re: $subject

; these attributes cannot be changed
Locked Attributes             = Author, Author Email

and then I change Preset Author to be "$long_name" Elog does not permit the autor to edit an old post of its own ...
It is not able to argue that short and long name are the same person..

Yes I know, you'll ask me why I should change it .. the anwer is.. I don't have to, but (as I could do it logically) I'd like to be able to do..

In my case I changed it by error, people inserted entries and now I restored the correct one .. so now I have to unlock the attribute and change every Author by hand as admin

a problem related to this issue is that an attribute of userlist type automatically sets the user to be in the long form..

My proposal is to alwais store users in the long form and anly give the possibility to use the short or long form in displaing time..

A new ELOG user wants to register on "127.0.0.1"


the scenario is:
- elog on localhost
- stunnel on the external interface

I dont want elog to listen on external interface, so.. why do not use the URL cfg attribute for this issue ?

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the great work. We have been using elog for a year as inventory management.

Now we have a long list of attributes in our logbook, some of those we want to keep in database for record, but we don't want to see them because they are not used very often. I tried the "Show Attributes". my conf is like this:

Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description, Main Function, Location, Memory, CPU Speed, Num CPU, Owner, Contact Name, Contact Phone, Contact Email, Bought From, Bought Date, Maintenance, Network Drop, Console Drop
.
.
.
Options OS = SunOs{1}, Linux{2}, Aix
{1} Show Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description


but it seems only effective when adding the new entry. All the attributes will show in logbook. Is there a way to hide some of the attributes? It would be good to let each user to choose what to see what not to see, create their own view. Can you put it on your to-do list or wishlist?

Thanks

Hi,

This might be a stupid question.

But I was unable to fix it. Hence asking for help. I have set config as

List Display = ID, Author, Type, When, Subject

But "Summary" page of my e-log continues to display additional column "Text". Kindly advise how to hide this last column. Also, is it possible to assign % width for each of these columns (ID, Author, Type, When, Subject)

Thank you

Regards

Dinesh

Hi,

I have two problems:

1) With the configuration below, I can't set the Author attribute to be the author of the reply. As written, it gives the Author field as blank. If the Remove on Reply line is removed, it is set to the parent's author. What am I doing wrong?

2) With the Page Title line set as shown, $logbook gets expanded as "Charged+Current+Pi+Plus". If the line is left blank, the correct "Charged Current Pi Plus" gets put in the title line.

Thanks for any help,
Chris.

Hey, elog made it to MiniBooNE! I'm working on MEG...

What you need is the following:
Preset on reply subject = Re: $subject
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on Reply Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

The Subst statements work after the entry gets submitted, while the preset statements work before. So Preset on Reply <attribute> is what you need.

The substitution $logbook originally produces a valid URL to the logbook, and thus replaces blanks by "+". I changed that so that $logbook produces the original name containing blanks, and $elogbook is the encoded one with the "+"'s. The change is in revision 1.723
