Yes, of course I mean '$entry time', sorry for the misspelling. |

I would like to be notified by email of some logbook entries regardless of whether the user has chosen to suppress email or not.
This way I will always be aware of new entries, and users will still have the option of notifying a larger group of other users, or not.
As far as I can tell, presently the Suppress Email checkbox overrides Email All.

If I make "Email all" override the suppress email checkbox, some uses would complain "I check the supporess box, but my admin still gets email, what am I doing wrong here?". So while this works for you, it will not be desired for everybody. I would have to add another parameter just for this request. Couldn't you instead use the RSS feed functionality? This way you well see all entries, independent of the email notification. You can use special RSS feed readers (your browser and email client probably support this already).
|
Hmm, I see your point, but wouldn't using the RSS feed have the same effect? Or are you saying the users just wouldn't know about it, so they wouldn't complain?
I haven't explored the RSS feed options yet. I'll study them.
|
The RSS feed you have to "pull" actively with a client (which of course can be periodically in an automatic way). So no pull, no notification, happy users |

Hmm. Is there some way to set up a private RSS feed for me only?
If not, I would humbly ask that you add an option. I don't want to generate unnecessary email to users, but I need to always be notified for some logbooks. I'm responsible for some hardware on our project and I want to know any time someone reports a problem. The best solution is to still let users decide whether they want to subscribe to logbooks, and whether entry notification should be suppressed or not, but also have an admin override privilege. There could be a disclaimer "admin is automatically notified of all entries" at the top of the edit page.
If this can be done with a private RSS feed to me only, then that's fine. I still don't use or understand RSS feeds very well, sorry. I'd rather all users did not have the option to be alerted to every new entry, when email suppression is enabled. That would be contradictory, I think.
Thanks for listening!

The RSS feed is private by default. You install a client (like Sharp Reader under Windows). It stays in the icon tray and periodically checks for new ELOG entries. If there is one, it pops up a window similar to your email client. You click on it, and it shows all entries like this:
All you have to do is to enter the URL of the ELOG logook. Just add "elog.rdf" to the URL of the logbook as you would access it from your browser.
Here is the pop-up I got from writing just this entry:

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Request | | | Re: thumbnails in list and entry views? |
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:
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? |

Grant Jeffcote wrote: | 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} ...

Dennis Seitz wrote: |
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.

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Windows | | Re: multi-headings |
parrish wrote: |
how can you have more than 1 heading like in this forum. Example is: Demo and Discusion and have diferent sub heading under each one?
So example if Demo is selected you get one group of tabs to select from and if Discussion is selected you get a different second set of tabs to choise from.
Thanks in adavance
|
You can do this by defining groups. For this forum I did
Group Demo = Linux Demo, Database
Group Discussion = Forum, Config Examples, Contributions, Vulnerabilities
where each name on the right side of the equal sign is an individual logbook. |

Franck C wrote: |
Hi,
I have defined a quick filter based on an icon attribute and it does not work: no result. I have defined something like your "forum elog" (with Icon comment ): in the quick filter, i see the comments (that a good thing) but whatever i'm selecting, i have no entry.
Is it a bug or i miss something in the configuration ?
|
I tried to reproduce your problem, but it worked fine for me. I used in elog.cfg:
[demo]
Attributes = Icon, Author, Type, Last Edit, Subject
IOptions Icon = icon1.gif, icon2.gif, icon3.gif, icon4.gif, icon5.gif, icon6.gif, icon7.gif, icon8.gif, icon12.gif, icon13.gif, icon14.gif
Quick filter = Icon
Then I entered two entries with different icons, and I selected the quick filter. It correctly showed me the entry with the icon I selected:
