I think the solution to your problem would be to use Deny statements in the configuration sections for the logbooks.
Assume user1, user2 and user3 are in the "owners'" group of logbook1, and user4 and user5 only have "privileged read" access. Then a configuration as follows might help:
Login user = user1, user2, user3, user4, user5
Deny New = user4, user5
Deny Reply = user4, user5
Deny Duplicate = user4, user5
Deny Edit = user4, user5
Deny Delete = user4, user5
Deny Select = user4, user5
Deny CSV Import = user4, user5
This should give them the same read permissions as the logbook owners but should deny any writing operations. I recognize that this is a little bit of admin work if the lists of such "privileged readers" gets long, but each user would have his/her individual password (even the same as for access to his/her "own" logbook).
Perhaps you can give it a try. |
What a great solution, thanks Yoshio, it works a treat. |
Is there any way to give a logged in user a 'Guest' view on certain logbooks?
Unfortunately at the moment if they are not in the 'login users = ' group they are automatically logged out and have to re-log back into their own logbook. |

| Devin Bougie | dab66@cornell.edu | Bug report | | | reset password link when using proxy |
For heightened security, we allow access to our ELOG installation from offsite through an apache proxy. Therefore, the URL for our ELOG becomes http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/proxy/elog/ . Everything seems to work properly with this setup except for the "reset password" utility. When trying to reset ones password, the link sent in the "Password recovery" email becomes, for example:
http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/proxy/elog/ERL+W128/?redir=%3Fcmd%3DChange+password...
When using this link, the redirect redirects you to:
http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/ERL+W128/?cmd=Change%20password...
Which does not work. Instead, the redirect should point to:
http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/proxy/elog/ERL+W128/?cmd=Change%20password...
Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Devin

| Dennis Seitz | dseitz@cosmology.berkeley.edu | Question | | | Is there a way to indicate when an entry has been edited? |
You've probably seen my other posts on this subject.
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.
Thank you for your advice. |

| Grant Jeffcote | grant@jeffcote.org | Question | | 2.7.3-2104 | Conditional Attributes Boolean? |
Hi Stefan,
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.
Many thx |

| Bruno Serfass | serfass@berkeley.edu | Question | | | "preview attachement" flag not working on thumbnails ? |
Hi,
I would like to turn off the display of attachements when editing an entry in some of our logbooks that contains big file.
So I did set the flag "preview attachements" to 0. It seems to work fine on text file attachment but
the thumbnails for PDF and images (very nice feature by the way!...) are still there...
How can I avoid displaying the thumbnails in the edit mode? This is very important when the attached file is big because
it almost makes it impossible to edit..
Thanks for your feedback!

I tried to reproduce what you said and it worked fine for me. I used:
[demo]
Attributes = Author, Type, Last Edit, Subject
Subst on edit Last Edit = $entry time
And got correctly the entry time copied to the "last edit" field when I changed old entries. I used version V.7.3-2104. |

I fixed that in revision 2109. |

| Dennis Seitz | denseitz@comcast.net | Request | | | thumbnails in list and entry views? |
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. |
