Conditional hiding of attributes in list view, posted by Yoshio Imai on Thu Sep 22 11:34:46 2005

Hi!
All here are amazed by how quickly this software has evolved since we
took our first look into the world of electronic logbooks.
In order to use it as our shift logbook, however, we have one request
which is in principle the same as that of Juliana Peng
(http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1280). We want to have the usual
maintenance/admin/problem report entries of the shift crew in the
same logbook as the automatic entries from our runcontrol software to
clearly see cause and effect when analyzing the beamtimes later. Of
course, the run entries have different attributes than the shift crew
entries. So, it would be nice to have the conditional "Show attributes"
function extended also to the list view.
I understand that the attributes layout might then change from line to
line, but since we have only two sets of attributes, that would not
matter (to us). Would you consider implementing this function (i.e.
evaluate the conditions and hide attributes also in list view),
if not by default, then maybe as an option of the config file?
Another nice feature (which we do not explicitly need, just a suggestion)
might be implementing a filter function in list view, such that only entries
with certain attribute values are displayed.
I have also found one possible problem, maybe it's already solved in the
newest version: We have set up the elog under an stunnel, but the elog
server also responds to the original port (i.e. 80), displaying the logbook
selection page and from there even the login screen. Only after logging in
the elog server redirects the client browser to the https-page defined with
the URL-statement of the config file. The whole thing seems like an unwanted
behaviour, but could you change it so that it either doesn't respond on the
wrong URL at all, or at least redirects to the secured URL before presenting
the login window, so that we transfer the passwords encrypted?
Cheers

Display last page by default, posted by Yoshio Imai on Fri Oct 28 12:15:33 2005

Hi again!
I have one question concerning the logbook configuration. Normally, clicking on "List" takes me to the first page of the list view. Is it possible to configure the logbook so that "List" takes me to the last page instead?

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, this is not exactly what we need. We would like to see the entries in normal order, but the last of the pages as "start page". Is it possible to configure this?

Thanks!
For the moment, I could satisfy the users by setting the start page to the "All" view, but if it can be implemented in a future version, this would come very handy.

What about
Start page = last10

In principle this would be a good starting point, however, we would like to use the "Previous" and "Next" page selectors to browse (and these don't appear when using the "lastNN" statement for the start page). |

I have installed the new version, and it works just fine. It is also MUCH faster than my intermediate solution.

Getting back from "Find" mode, posted by Yoshio Imai on Tue Nov 15 10:58:23 2005

Hi again!
There is one question regarding the "Find" function of the elog. Clicking onto "Search" takes the user to the list view on only those entries that match the search conditions. Since we use the list view in "Full" mode by default, this usually is enough to give us an overview of the event we looked for.
Is there a more direct way to get back to the unfiltered list view than selecting an entry and go to "List" or using "Find" again and clicking on "Back"?
