Hmm. Is there some way to set up a private RSS feed for me only?

If not, I would humbly ask that you add an option. I don't want to generate unnecessary email to users, but I need to always be notified for some logbooks. I'm responsible for some hardware on our project and I want to know any time someone reports a problem. The best solution is to still let users decide whether they want to subscribe to logbooks, and whether entry notification should be suppressed or not, but also have an admin override privilege. There could be a disclaimer "admin is automatically notified of all entries" at the top of the edit page.

If this can be done with a private RSS feed to me only, then that's fine. I still don't use or understand RSS feeds very well, sorry. I'd rather all users did not have the option to be alerted to every new entry, when email suppression is enabled. That would be contradictory, I think.

 Thanks for listening!

It would be very cool to be able to select Full from the view menu and then scroll rapidly through all entries looking for that high res photo of a SQUID chip I took two months ago. Presently the photos are all full size so the Full view is slow to load and it takes a lot of scrolling to navigate. Can you implement thumbnails in Full view, and also in the single entry view? Clicking on the thumbnail should, of course, open the full size image.

For now, I'm just using the wysiwyg html entry format and dropping images into the entry, then right-clicking to set a small image size. Clicking on the image gives me a new window with the full size image, which works great.

I hope you don't mind the barrage of suggestions, and thanks again.

The RSS feed is private by default. You install a client (like Sharp Reader under Windows). It stays in the icon tray and periodically checks for new ELOG entries. If there is one, it pops up a window similar to your email client. You click on it, and it shows all entries like this:

 All you have to do is to enter the URL of the ELOG logook. Just add "elog.rdf" to the URL of the logbook as you would access it from your browser.

Here is the pop-up I got from writing just this entry:

Thumbnail display in "full view" is implemented already. Let's take this entry: I insert a picture and scale it down via the "smaller" button:

Now if you display this forum in full view, the image is still shown as a thumbnail, which you are able to click in order to get the full resolution display. I don't know what is different in your case, maybe you are using an oder version of ELOG?

I am using the CMS ELog remotely as a monitoring tool.  Information is compartementalized into dozens of containers.  I can create a find query URL, say last day, which then reloads every X minutes in Firefox.  When new ELog entries are made, then appear in the refresh and catch my attention.  But, my interests are somewhere between a single logbook and all logbooks.  If I choose all CMS logbooks for example for one day, I usually end up with > 200 entries. 

In short, I would like the ability to:

1) Select from the list of available logbooks when doing a search

2) Have more canned choices from smaller time frames, such as 1 hour or at least one shift (8 hours).

I do not see how to do this in the current elogd.cfg syntax instructions.

Thanks, Alan

 First of all have you considered using the built in RSS feed? With an RSS reader new entries are shown in a local notification box similar to new email. Some people like it.

1) This is not directly possible, but there is a trick: Define a URL to each logbook and put it into the Bookmarks Toolbar of Firefox. If you have many logbooks, this will however clutter up your toolbar. Then I recommend to make a subfolder in the toolbar and put them into it. Now firefox has the neat feature that if you click with the right mouse button on the folder, it offers you "Open All in Tabs". If you select this, you get a tab for each logbook in fireforx, and you can browse through each logbook individually.

2) This function was there long time ago (since I needed it myself) but somehow vanished. I added it back in revision 2126. You can now craft an URL like

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/past-8

to show the last 8 hours.

 Sorry for the delayed reply.

Ideally I'd like a config setting so that by default all graphics are presented at a fixed thumbnail size, so the users don't have to edit the image size every time they add one. Clicking on the thumbnail would open the image full size.

This would by default streamline loading and scanning through pages with many large images, whether in Full view of an entire logbook, or when viewing individual entries.

Hi

I've just upgraded to 2.7.5 mainly because I wanted to have Museremail sorted.  We use this to list contacts on an RFC form and it's much easier to find the ones you want when they are in a predictable sequence.  As an extension to this it would be great if they could be sorted by the last part of their real name - typical user, give him a sweetie and he wants jam on it!

cheers
