Hi everybody,

I am trying to setup my personal ELog, defining attributes and stuff like that. I just tried to make some nested commands but I really could not achieve that. 

The idea is something like this:

Attributes = Author

Options Author = Tizio{1}, Caio{2}, Sempronio{3}

{1} Attributes = Author, Project

{1} Options Project = Proj1{a}, Proj2{b}, Proj3{c}

{a} Attributes = Author, Project, Year

{a} Options Year = 2017, 2019

Anyway, when I select Proj1 nothing really happens. So, is there any way to set up nested commands like in the reported example?

Many thanks in advance!

P.S. Is there any documentation in which are reported all the possible commands that can be used?   

Atrributes can only be defined once in a logbook.
But you can select which attributes are shown with the commands:

• Show Attributes = <list>
  Attributes present in this list are shown in the single entry page. Omitting attributes can make sense for attributes which are automatically derived from other attributes via the Change <attribute> command.
• Show Attributes Edit = <list>
  The same as Show Attributes, but for the entry form.

Those can be redifined in conditional attribute clauses.

(See https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html)

Certain characters contained in the 'Subject' will cause the text to split into multiple lines .

For example if  I enter "My Subject" in the 'Subject' field it is displayed as

My

Subject

If I enter "My_Subject" it is displayed as 

My_Subject

Is there any way to change this so no line breaks are created ?

There are two locations where 'Subject' is shown, the list display and the individual message display. I guess you mean the first one. 

In that case, you can modify the CSS styel sheet 'elog.css' and add following statement to the classes list2 and list2h:

.list2 {
   ...
   white-space: nowrap;
}  

.list2h {
   ...
   white-space: nowrap;
}  

Thanks for that bit of info . I had looked at that file but the answer was not obvious to me . Now I have to have an ELOG entry about , well , ELOG :}

Is there somewhere I can change the file extension / app associations ? When I open an ".ods" attachment ELOG lets me pick the app . If I open a ".eml" it dumps me into the browser. At the system level ".eml" is associated with "thunderbird"

ELOG on RPI4B , 3.1.5

Client Kubuntu Linux 

I was thinking I could accomplish this with some 'attribute' change but havent fogured it out yet .

My preference would be for elog to ask everytime .

Below are the MIME types hard-coded into elogd. As you can see there is neither .ods nor .eml. If you give me the MIME type, I can add that easily. I wonder however why both work differently for you. I believe this is a browser setting.
