In my case, I had a number of attributes which had a varied prefix.  For example, "progressed" , which could have no prefix, or prefix "I", "To be", "Strongly", "Seriously"... and that was true (the same prefixes, or at least many of them) for a number of attributes.  Splitting them into two groups, the prefixes and the action, allowed me to gain more actual attributes without having to recompile.  Suitable change in the elog config file will also make this easy to follow in how the entries are shown in threaded or full display modes.  In your case suffixes may be better, but I hope you get the point.

Although I have done a (linux) recompile in the past, v2.9 something, 120 attributes seemed not to affect things.

Dear Stefan,

 Thansk for the super fast response! To keep the stability of the system we will look for a different solution then. 

Best,

Marta

You would have to change the elogd.c code and recompile. At some point you wlll however get crash of elogd with a stack overflow. If you need more than 100 attributes, it becomes anyhow hard to manage, so I would suggest other ways, like adding iformation to the text body etc.

Best,
Stefan

The maximum number or attributes is 100.

Is it possible to increase this?

Thanks!

Keeping the global and individual logbooks in sync is not possible. So indded my proposal is a cumbersome solution in your case. We do have "restrict edit" which lets users only edit their own entries, but we do not have "restrict view". Maye some thought for a future version of elog.

Stefan

Dear Stefan,

thanks to the answer you gave to my colleague. 

Now, attempting to follow your suggestion... If we will create several logbooks, one for each user,

1) there is a way to automatically duplicate all the entries in anoter "global" elog without loosing them and keeping them updated between the global and the individual logbooks? 

2) alternatively how I could activate a search in all these user logbooks (and only in this set of logbooks without searching in the others logbook present in the same file conf)? shall I gnereate a separated elog instance only for this set of logbooks? how to let this search to all option available only to a reduced number of "superusers" that are not "administrators?

thanks

Matteo

No, this is not possible with the current version of Elog, so indeed everybody needs their own logbook.

Stefan

Good morning,

I would like to ask you whether it is feasible to establish a logbook that limits access to entries, enabling each user to view only their own.
Although creating a logbook per user is an apparent solution, it does not meet my requirements.

Thank you in advance.
