Hi,

how can i make the author field read only on new postings? It should take the value from $long_name after login and without login there is no way to make new postings.

This is a part of my elogd.cfg


[global]
.......

Logfile = elogd.log
Logging level = 3
Login expiration = 24
Password file = ./passwd ....... [Informations] .......
Logout to main = 1
Logbook tabs = 1
Guest menu commands = Back, Find, Login, Help
Guest find menu commands = Find, Select, Login, Help
Preset Author = $long_name
Attributes = Author, Subject
Required Attributes = Author, Subject ........

Thanks Brassmann

 

 All you need is an addition

Locked Attributes = Author


 Thanks, works fine.

Regards Brassmann

icon5.gif   New Message Formatting and Default Settings, posted by Gary Clayson on Thu Jul 7 04:44:12 2005 
Hello All. Please Help! How can I turn off the formatting controls above the message text when making a new or reply entry? I included the flat 'Default Encoding = 1' in my config file, but it seems to have no effect. The log has been set up to suppress all email notification, as SMTP is not being used at my location (MS Exchange Server is being used). Also How can I turn off the icon selection panel to the left of a new message text box? And, finally, is it possible to turn off the Suppress Email notification checkbox AND not send emails? Forgive me for asking yet another - but the same question about turning off the Encoding buttons - Is there some method of setting I can enter into the config file to turn off the Encoding and default it to text entry only?

Forgive this entry being so long, I'm new to using ELOG; Thanks Stefan for an incredible application. Well thought out and elegant. Keep up the good work.

PS Reworking the source code, then recompiling it, is not a viable option for me at this time.

We have several logbooks running here with somewhat cryptic names. The comment field for the
logbook describes its intent well enough, so the thought was that the comment could show up in the
status bar (or tooltip) when you hover over the logbook name in the tabs at the top of the page.

___ yea Smile

I wonder if there is any way to use the javascript 'window.status' method to accomplish this. It would be a nice addition when there are many logbooks.

Can someone please enter a comprehensive list of the commands eLog will honor. I'm trying to build a 'decent' start page and am not totally familiar with eLog just yet. Thanks Stefan for an awesome application. The documentation is really decent, too. I just have been unable to locate a list of all commands available.
Thanks in advance.

there's a link in the main elog web page.. it's under the Admin guide and it is the elog.cfg syntax guide


thanks for the advice. DuH on me, I just needed to read the syntax page a little more closely.

I just downloaded and installed beta2 and most of my questions have been answered. I now have a new question: What are the possible settings with the 'Default Encoding' flag? Can I please get a rundown on this one as the config syntax page does not list this one. Thanks in Advance.

icon3.gif   Suppress Email notification checkbox, posted by Gary Clayson on Thu Jul 7 05:30:24 2005 
Hello All. Stefan, would it be possible to add one more option to the Suppress Default flag? I'd appreciate a setting that would suppress emails being sent and remove the option from the page. Or, has this been accomplished? And, if so, what is that setting. Thanks in advance!! Keep up the great work.
