Re: hide attributes when view the logbook

Juliana Peng wrote:

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

I fixed that bug in Revision 1.722

Re: Can't set Author attribute properly in reply?

Chris Green wrote:

1) With the configuration below, I can't set the Author attribute to be the author of the reply. As written, it gives the Author field as blank. If the Remove on Reply line is removed, it is set to the parent's author. What am I doing wrong?

Hey, elog made it to MiniBooNE! I'm working on MEG...

What you need is the following:

Preset on reply subject = Re: $subject
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on Reply Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

The Subst statements work after the entry gets submitted, while the preset statements work before. So Preset on Reply <attribute> is what you need.

2) With the Page Title line set as shown, $logbook gets expanded as "Charged+Current+Pi+Plus". If the line is left blank, the correct "Charged Current Pi Plus" gets put in the title line.

The substitution $logbook originally produces a valid URL to the logbook, and thus replaces blanks by "+". I changed that so that $logbook produces the original name containing blanks, and $elogbook is the encoded one with the "+"'s. The change is in revision 1.723

No, that's not true. A

Locked attributes = Author

will do the job as well.

The following code will assure that, if the HTML generated by elog would be modified by hand by a malicious user the server can still preset the author field with the right $long_name?

Ok, you're right. But that requires quite some knowledge to change the generated HTML by hand. So for paranoiac people the "Subst" might be better. Actually you could have both the "Preset on Reply" and the "Subst on Reply", so on the reply entry form one sees already the correct author.

Re: hide attributes when view the logbook

Juliana Peng wrote:

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

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.

Re: New and reply pages don't use Page Title

Chris Green wrote:

I'd like every page associated with a particular logbook to use that logbook's page title as at least part of its own.

On the list page, you can use "summary page title = <title>". Since this option is misleading, I renamed it to "List page title = <title>". Then I added "edit page title = <title>". Modifications are in CVS.

Chris Green wrote:

Also, is it possible to have a reply comment in the same way as one has a message comment?

I added "reply comment = <comment>"

So, that gave another two options. With all that many options it's hard to read through the configuration documentation. So if you have time and fun doing it, you could restructure the documentation page into some separate pages, to give people a better overview. Please send the modified pages back to me and I will include them on the web site.

Re: Restrict Top Groups to logged-in users?

Chris Green wrote:

I'd like to be able to prevent non-logged-in users from seeing what logbooks exist in a top group. Currently it seems that one is only required to log in once one has chosen a logbook. Is this possible?

To protect the logbook selection page, you put the "password file = <file>" into the [global] section or the [global <top group>] section. So "hide" the top group selection page, you put a "show top groups = 0" into the [global] section.

Re: hide attributes when view the logbook

Juliana Peng wrote:

I may have all the attributes in logbook to keep a full record of all the machine. But for daily use, some of the attibutes we are not using so often. Too many attributes will make the window so big that can not be hold in one screen which is the reason why I want to hide some of them. Of course the hidden attributes have data, but those data are rarely used so we'd rather hide them.

Since "show attributes" prevent from inputing attributes, may not be suitable in this case. We appreciate if you can impletement a new feature like "view attibutes" which do not affect adding new entry, just hide attributes at summary view.

Use "list display = <attribute list>" to specify which attributes to show in the listing page. RTFM.
