Dennis Seitz wrote:

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.

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:

Capture.png

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?

After searching the manual and not finding (missing?) the answer is it possible to add conditional statements to a Boolean attribute? I would like a tick box to be able to trigger an event when submitted.


Conditions are not possible with boolean attributes. You have to define the attribute as a list like

Attributes = ..., Flag, ...
Options Flag = Yes{0}, No{1}

{0} ...

{1} ...

I want to be able to re-edit some entries but I need some way to know the dates entries were re-edited.

Am I just approaching this the wrong way? Should I disable re-editing of entries and use threads to follow changes by posting replies to an entry?

The only problem with that is that if I make a mistake I will have to submit a new entry to fix it.

I get the following error where thumbnails should go: Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation.

I restarted elog and check the log, it does in fact detect ImageMagick and it does have the most recent version. I'm running ubuntu 2.6.24-19-server.  Is there something else I should be checking?

Hi, I would like to preset an attribute type useremail with $user_email but that does not work because $user_email contains mailto: like mailto:user_email@domain
Has anyone an idea how to resolve this problem?

Type Reporter = useremail
Preset Reporter = $user_email

 This was a bug. I fixed it in SVN revision 2118.

 Try the following:

  • Put logfile = elog.log into your elogd.cfg
  • Upload an image to get the error
  • Examine your elog.log file

You should get something like:

23-Jul-2008 15:10:38 [] Server listening on port 8080 ..
23-Jul-2008 15:10:52 [stefan@127.0.0.1] {demo} SHELL "convert "logbooks\demo\080723_151052_Capture.png" "logbooks\demo\080723_151052_Capture.png.png""

In your logfile. Now try the "convert" command manually under the same account elogd is running. Possible reasons for problems are:

  • The "convert" command is not in your path or links to another program. Unfortunately ImageMagick chose a pretty standard name for this program
  • The account under which elogd is running does not have write access to the logbook directory
  • converts wants to call ghostscript for PDF conversion, but it is not installed
  • ...

Apart from logging when and who, is it also possible to somehow log WHAT has changed (like $attribute + $old_value was changed by $who at $date)
