icon3.gif   Howto subscribe to ELOG RSS feeds in Mozilla Thunderbird, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Apr 8 14:35:19 2005 rss.gif
So subscribe to ELOG RSS feeds, do the following:

- In Thunderbird, click "Tools/Account setting", then click "Add account",
"RSS News & Blogs", "Next", "Finish", "Ok".

- Select "News & Blogs" in the "Folders" pane, right-click and select
"Properties"

- Click on "Manage Subscriptions..."

- Click on "Add"

- Enter the Feed URL of elog. Use your logbook URL and add "elog.rdf". For
this forum for example, enter

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/elog.rdf

- Click OK. That's all.

See how the RSS feed shows up in the attached image. Please note that you
need public read access to your logbook for this to work (via "Guest menu
commands"), since the RSS mechanism does not support authentication.
icon5.gif   Directories in top groups, posted by Stephen A. Wood on Mon Apr 18 17:02:20 2005 
I am trying to unify several existing logbook collections that run on
seperate servers under a single server using groups.  For a top group, under
"[global topgroupname]", I would like to redefine the resource directory or
the logbook directory so that everything except for the .cfg is at it
original location.  However, it seems like "Resource dir" and "Logbook dir"
can not be redefined in the global section for specific groups.  Is it
possible to redefine these directories for each top group, or is it feature
that could be added?

I could probably do what I want with soft-links, but redefining the resource
dir just seems to be right way to do this.  (For one thing, I would like
different favicons for each group.)

Not easily. There is only a single logbook and resource directory inside elogd.
The reason is that these are constants which can be fixed during compile time.
The Debian package uses this extensively. So having multiple directories would
break that scheme.

I'm afraid you have to use soft links. The favicons you can define however via
the theme, which is a per-logbook option, so it would work in the [global
topgroupname] section as well.

You used it already! (;-)

In this forum, you clicked on OS:Windows. You can select more than one OS
(->"multi" options or MOptions). The according configuration entry is:

MOptions OS = Linux, Windows, MaxOSX, All, Other
icon1.gif   Problem with auto-increment attribute, posted by Andy on Tue May 24 20:32:08 2005 
I have a very strange problem with auto-increment attribute. Here is a part of my configuration:

Attributes = Access ID, Harvest Date, Access, Species, PI, Submission date, Stain, Comments
Preset Access ID = MI-05-%03d
Type Harvest date = date
Type Submission date = date

I tried to add new entry, and it's Access ID is MI-05-001. But when I'm adding another entries,
there Access ID is MI-05-006
I found only one mention of using increment in documentation.
What I'm doing wrong?
icon6.gif   prevent CVS and XML exports , posted by Paul Paquette on Mon Jun 20 04:29:57 2005 
Hello Again,

I'm being asked to do the impossible to list the Assessing Dept Data but not letting people download the whole database. This way they can lookup the info the Town uses to assess their property. The Town’s Selectmen have stopped paying for the company who hosted the database and the software they used. Now I'm asked to do the same service in house with out funds and without resorces. Hence the question.

Thanks


Paul
