I implemented your request and committed to CVS. Please test if it does what you want, since I did not have much time to test it.

Thanks so much. But the new feature seems not working. If my conf is:

Options OS = SunOs{1}, Linux{2}, Aix
{1} Show Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description

When I choose linux OS, is it supposed to get only the attributes in "Show Attributes"? All the attributes show up. Or you implemented it in other way?

Are you sure you got the latest CVS version and recompiled correctly?

I tried with following config:
[global]
port = 8080

[demo]
Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description, Main Function, Location, Memory, CPU Speed, Num CPU, Owner, Contact Name, Contact Phone, Contact Email, Bought From, Bought Date, Maintenance, Network Drop, Console Drop
Options OS = SunOs{1}, Linux{2}, Aix
{1} Show Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description

Then I added two entries, where OS = SunOS and Aix. As soon as I select SunOS, the attributes except those listed in {1} disappear. The same is true then for the single entry display. Here is the one with the Aix:



and here with SunOS:



So can you reproduce this?

I downloaded Revision 1.717, replaced the source code with the new elogd.c, then run " dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b"
(debian linux) to build the package. Now after i add a new entry, once I select it I got "
Attachment #1 of entry #0 not found" error

Thanks. But what I want is to hide the unwanted attributes at summary view, not just hide them when I click on entry.

Here is the example, can i hide the attributes at this page when I select SunOS:

No you can't do that.

Assume that you have different types of entries, ones where your unwanted attributes are missing and ones where they are present. If you would hide them, they would be missing even for the entries where you want them. Or you would change the table layout for every line, meaning that attributes which are common in all entries do not line up nicely below each other.

An other approach would be to make elog hide those columns which do not contain any value in the whole page, but that is not (yet) implemented.
