When entering data for a new log entry some folks always type in an attribute and then the "Enter" key which automatically

submits the entry. Is there a way to prevent this so the only way a new entry is submitted is with the Submit button. Also

is there a way to setup the main text box as a required attribute?

Thanks

Gary

Good day,

I'm new to Elog and I find it really nice and straight foward...

I still have a few questions that I couldn't address reading the manuals.

-I'm creating a logbook with a lot of attributes. I would like to know if there is a way to name (display) my attribute differently then it's original name. That way I could program $attrib1; $attrib2, etc, and map a name to display the column accordingly... Is it something possible ? 

-Is it possible to hide the field "Entry Time" when creating or editing an entry ?

-I saw the Cell Style fonction to set Color (really nice...), My attribute1 is a worker name; Attribute2 is how the work is going on (stop, ready, in process) I would like to hide Atribute2 in list mode but change Attribute1 cell color based on Attribute2 status... is it possible to do so?

-When using "Show Text = 0" (i'm only using attributes), creating a new entry present the menu "Submit", "Save", "Preview" and "Back".... Pressing "Save" leaves the page, shows "OK with a number" and "Preview" is useless. Is it possible to tune what button should be present or not ? I would like to remove Save and Preview....

For the info, my config file

Thanks alot for your help :)

Wow !!! Im impressed :):):) I didn't expect such a fast reply !!!

Thanks alot Stefan, I will try it right away !!

Andreas, I really like the idea of hiding attrib 1 and attrib2 and fill attrib3 with a script (I guess using elog.exe command line) ?
I play a little with it and I can modify an attribute with the command line but I cant figure how to set the cell style based on the attrib2 and 
replace attrib3 value with attrib1 value... (basicially I need help !!!) do you think you could help me ?

Hi again,
Hope I'm not draining to much time from you guys !

here is the scenario (fake one just to understand the logic..):
My main logbook as a Option attribute Called "Electrician availables" 
My second logbook is a list of workers and there capacities Moptions : "Electrician", "Plumber", "Genius"

So my question is:

Is it possible to load my main logbook attribute "Electrician availables" Options based on all the "Electrician" found under my second logbook ?

Thanks :)

Title says all :)

Is it possible to preload Options or Moptions from a text file or CSV instead of being load from the elogd.conf ?

Thanks :)

That's clear :)

So basically, I have a list of 5-10 workers. I'll have to choose one for each entry I make into the logbook. But these workers will change from time to time 
(students) and I don't want the staff to manipulate the config file manually..("Extendable options" is not an option as I will get to many "Darth Vader" entry for 
sure..)

I asked if I could populate that option box from another logbook attribute and Andreas told me only possible via external scripts. 
https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/67877

I investigate a little but I found that :

a) I couldn't make shell command to execute while elogd was running as a service (I'm running windows and $shell was just returning weird stuff ); shell script was 
working only when I launch elogd.exe from a command line:

-elogd as a Service running the following : Subst Infographiste = $shell(dir c:\) 
will return : Shell execution not enabled via -x flag

-modifying the Windows Service to add "-X" and running the following :Subst Infographiste = $shell(dir c:\) 
will return : a empty attribute

-running elogd "-x" from a command line, the following : Subst Infographiste = $shell(dir c:\) 
will return : the dir result..

(I also tried to change under witch user the service was running..)

b) I just couldn't figure how to build that script....

But that would be so nice ! I can see so many situations where I could use such a scenario (loading options from another logbook or from a txt/csv file 
somewhere...)

Thanks,

:)

Not really...
The thing is I have to let some users the capacity of changing the content of that option list.. I was hoping there could be a different way for 
them then to edit the cfg file...

That why I came up at first ask if it could be possible to load an Option list from the content of another logbook... that way I could have made 
up some sort of "worker" logbook that would have feed the main logbook Attribute "workers" options list.

Good day,

I'm populating 2 fields based on the Option set in a third one.
It works, but for some reason, sometimes when I change the entry from one value to another (from 3/01/2015 to 26/03/2016) , the field "# Volume" stays at the first position 
(149) and doesn't get updated... I tried both with Chrome and IE.
