icon5.gif   Admin right, posted by Geo on Tue Jul 6 13:08:51 2004 
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

Deny Change Config File = otherguy

Restrict edit = 1

Restrict edit time = 4

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply,Last Day, Find, Config, Help

icon5.gif   Adjustment of summary columns, posted by Mariia Fedkevych on Fri Dec 17 11:54:38 2021 
Hi!

Is it possible to manage the column widths on a logbook's summary page one by one?
Also, is it possible to hide the Text column without actually hiding the text body in entries (as Show Text = 0 in elog.cfg does)?

Kind regards,
Mariia
icon4.gif   Additional forbidden attributes, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Mon Jun 14 16:15:10 2021 

Hello Stefan,

I stubbled on a issue with our elog.
We introduced an attribute "mode" to one of the elogs and it breaks the "Find" function as this attribute is already used for the viewing settings "full", "summary" and "threaded".
(HTTP parameter pollution)

I suspect other special attributes used by the internals of elog should also not be allowed.
A quick search in the "Find" reveals these attributes in the URL, so I guess, these should also be avoided.
This list could be incomplete

npp, ma, da, ya, mb, db, yb, attach, reverse, mode

A simple workaround would be updating the documentation to add these to the list of forbidden attributes.
https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html
Maybe a warning can be added, if the elog behaves unexpected, try other attribute names, as they can conflict with internal attributes.

A fix could be to add a prefix for internal attributes, which can't be used for user attributes.

Best wishes,
Sebastian

 

PS: I also noticed using the "Find" command, the generated URL contains 2 reverse attributes like "reverse=0&reverse=1"

Is there any way to change the the embeded style sheet reference to allow a seperate style sheet for printing ?

Default config:-
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css">

Would like to configure to :-

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css media="screen">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css" media="print">

Thanks
icon1.gif   Addition of a "Restrict edit attribute" option?, posted by Justin Ellison on Tue Mar 13 17:27:49 2007 
It would be a nice addition to have a config file option named "Restrict edit attribute".

Basically, I would like to have an attribute that was either:

a) An Option Attribute named Status with options of "Open" or "Closed"
b) An Option Attribute named Closed that was boolean.

Then, we could leave the item as editable until either choice "a" above was set to closed or choice "b" was true, at which point only admins could edit the item.

Sound plausible?

icon3.gif   Adding texts for each attachment, posted by Dongwook Jang on Mon Mar 16 22:33:23 2009 

Dear Stefan,

First of all, I appreciate that you made such a nice program. I've used elog for more than 5 years and it was wonderful experince to me and my research work was very productive with this.

I have a suggestion to you to improve this while I was using elog. If users can add texts or comments for each attachment, it will be great.

I am not sure if someone was already suggested this or it is already in your wish list.

Thank you.

icon4.gif   Adding entries without being logged in stopped working with attachments, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Sat Aug 28 21:32:09 2021 
Hi Stefan (et al),
we have several logbooks that allow to add new entries without logging in first.
That still works, as long as these entries don't have any attachments.
As soon as there is an attachment you are asked to login in the web interface.

I hope that this is not an intentional feature, but a bug?
Several of our software tools now fail to submit elog entries.

 
The problem occured when we upgraded to ELOG V3.1.4-2e1708b.
Version elog-3.1.4-611489b did not show this behaviour.

Kind Regards
Andreas
