You need
Preset on reply Author = $short_name
. Subst is supposed to work after a submission, Preset before you open the edit mask. See this forum. If you reply to this entry, your name appears as the Author even if it's locked. Here is the config:
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset Author Email = $user_email
Preset on reply Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author Email = $user_email
Locked Attributes = Author

The Subst can be used for your image category thing. So instead using
Display Category = $category <img src="icons/$category.png" border="0">

you can use
Subst Category = $category <img src="icons/$category.png" border="0">

which physically rewrites the category. This is probably not what you want, but take it as an example. We use it in one place to replace a user name by a link to our internal telephonbook searching for this username, so if one clicks on the user, one ends up in the user's telephonebook entry.


Ok it's working perfectly, my bad Iwas lost in the huge set of config parameters elog accept the first time I installed it Smile

Thank you so much Stefan

.. 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..

the scenario is:

- 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.
