HI 
I have setup top group in my elog . I will want to restrict the different 
admin user on the global and the global on top groups .
But however i am not able to use the configuration on "admin user" on the 
global portion to strict admin of top group to access the main global 
config .
Did i configure it wrongly or is there a way?

And for email notification , is there a way which i can select who to email 
it to ? like check box etc.

And is there a way which i can setup the summary page to refresh every 
15mins , so that new entry can be shown ?

And can i make the message id unique , when i move the messages from one 
log book to another log book , the messages id change accorddingly based on 
the number or messages . Anyway for me to make it fixed even i moved to 
another log book , i need the running number still .

Sorry for the many questions
Thanks for your help

Is there a way to disable editing of the textarea, but still allow editing 
of other fields in the entry? (e.g. Fixed Attributes Edit = Text)
Also, is the data entered in that field accessible through a variable like 
$author? I tried $text, but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,
-Todd

By the way... Nice work on this. It has a lot of good features.

Hi, 
I also have this problem, when a non admin user logs in he does not have access to
the config file but if he logs out he can then access the config file as non logged
user.
I also tried to upgrade to version 2.5.3 but running under this version does not ask
for passwords so I reverted to 2.5.2.

Besides these few details, your software is great !

Thank you,

Alexandre

One way would be to create a seperate logbook for each student including the
teacher. It should then be fairly simple to set up the permissions however you
would like. For a large class it might be a bit cumbersome to set it up this way.

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

I have some problems of understanding how the "Format <attribute>" parameter
is working. It may be, that there was a similar question in the forum, but I
didn't find it. I'm sorry if I come back with an old question.

I would like to have 2two attributes in the same line. As ex. PersonName,
PersonCity.

If I understand the handbook correctly, it should be posslible with "Format
<attribute> = 1". However, I'm not able to use the "Format <attribute>"
correctly because I do not understand how to use it correctly in the cfg file.

Is there a possibilty of an example by Stafan or does anybody else already
use this feature successfuly and is able to post a example here?

Thank's a lot!

Usual problem for me. There is no elogd binary file in the tar.gz file. 
I remember you used to include it. :)

You should, it has been fixed in 2.5.3 :-)))
