Thank you, your eLog is already a very good instrument!

Is it possible to add one more "text entry" field ?

Your guess is correct. I would like to have that feature in ELOG.

Thanks

Brilliant in all its simplicity! Many thanks!

This should do the trick

Preset on reply Author = $long_name

Best, Stefano

My elog has this config for the author:

Option Author = Filled In Automatically
Preset Author = $Long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

This works as intended: when you submit a new entry, the author name is filled in automatically and cannot be changed.

However, when Alice wants to post a reply to an entry the Bruce has made, the preset author name does not say Alice, it says Bruce. I haven't been able to find out how to change this (other than make the author name editable). Even when Author isn't configured as as locked attribute, it still displays the original author's name.

How can I get this to work like I want/need to?

Hello !

Is any posibility to  set  quick filter, for fields with atribute "date", to exactly value, like 15/07/2009, instead of drop menu with values like - last day, last week, etc ?

Tnx in advance !

No, this is not imlemented. But you can go to the "Find" page, and select the "Start" and "End" date with the calendar picker tool. This are a few more clicks to do, but puttting this all into the quick filter would not fit there. 

 ok, tnx.

In the summary view, it seems that the text is truncated at the first "<" character. See https://lblogbook.cern.ch/Shift/48812 for a simple entry, then use the 'list' command to see that only a very small part is displayed.

That's a feature

In the summary view, I cannot use any HTML code, since it will screw up the table layout. Therefore elog searches for any "<" and ">" pairs and removes the text in between. In principle one could do a better job, but I do not want to write a complete HTML interpreter just for that purpose. 

 Well, this is a choice. But if the encoding of the entry is 'plain', you could just avoid checking for embeded HTML. We use the summary view constantly for our main experiment logbook. Thanks anyway.
