hide attributes when view the logbook

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the great work. We have been using elog for a year as inventory management.

Now we have a long list of attributes in our logbook, some of those we want to keep in database for record, but we don't want to see them because they are not used very often. I tried the "Show Attributes". my conf is like this:

Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description, Main Function, Location, Memory, CPU Speed, Num CPU, Owner, Contact Name, Contact Phone, Contact Email, Bought From, Bought Date, Maintenance, Network Drop, Console Drop
.
.
.
Options OS = SunOs{1}, Linux{2}, Aix
{1} Show Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description

but it seems only effective when adding the new entry. All the attributes will show in logbook. Is there a way to hide some of the attributes? It would be good to let each user to choose what to see what not to see, create their own view. Can you put it on your to-do list or wishlist?

Thanks

I implemented your request and committed to CVS. Please test if it does what you want, since I did not have much time to test it.

Thanks so much. But the new feature seems not working. If my conf is:

Options OS = SunOs{1}, Linux{2}, Aix
{1} Show Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description

When I choose linux OS, is it supposed to get only the attributes in "Show Attributes"? All the attributes show up. Or you implemented it in other way?

Are you sure you got the latest CVS version and recompiled correctly?

I tried with following config:

[global]
port = 8080

[demo]
Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description, Main Function, Location, Memory, CPU Speed, Num CPU, Owner, Contact Name, Contact Phone, Contact Email, Bought From, Bought Date, Maintenance, Network Drop, Console Drop
Options OS = SunOs{1}, Linux{2}, Aix
{1} Show Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description

Then I added two entries, where OS = SunOS and Aix. As soon as I select SunOS, the attributes except those listed in {1} disappear. The same is true then for the single entry display. Here is the one with the Aix:

and here with SunOS:

So can you reproduce this?

"
I downloaded Revision 1.717, replaced the source code with the new elogd.c, then run " dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b"
(debian linux) to build the package. Now after i add a new entry, once I select it I got "
Attachment #1 of entry #0 not found" error

Thanks. But what I want is to hide the unwanted attributes at summary view, not just hide them when I click on entry.

Here is the example, can i hide the attributes at this page when I select SunOS:

No you can't do that.

Assume that you have different types of entries, ones where your unwanted attributes are missing and ones where they are present. If you would hide them, they would be missing even for the entries where you want them. Or you would change the table layout for every line, meaning that attributes which are common in all entries do not line up nicely below each other.

An other approach would be to make elog hide those columns which do not contain any value in the whole page, but that is not (yet) implemented.

I may have all the attributes in logbook to keep a full record of all the machine. But for daily use, some of the attibutes we are not using so often. Too many attributes will make the window so big that can not be hold in one screen which is the reason why I want to hide some of them. Of course the hidden attributes have data, but those data are rarely used so we'd rather hide them.

Since "show attributes" prevent from inputing attributes, may not be suitable in this case. We appreciate if you can impletement a new feature like "view attibutes" which do not affect adding new entry, just hide attributes at summary view.

Use "list display = <attribute list>" to specify which attributes to show in the listing page. RTFM.

Thanks. "List display" is what we need.

But is there a way to control to hide or view the attributes? so that we don't need to change the elog.conf file each time.

For example, add a menu "expend" in "Find menu commands", we can click to view all the attributes or just view the attributes defined in "List Display"

Or use "{1} List Display = ....", we can view all the attributes at list page, but if selecting SunOS, only show attributes in List Display

In that case I would suggest two separate logbooks, for for SunOS and one for others. This way you can manage two separate sets of attributes.

We don't want separate logbooks, sorry for the misleading. I was trying to put two request together.

1. We have several user using the logbook. Is there a way each one has his own "List Display". In our case the user also is an attribute(SysAdmin) in logbook:

Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description, ENV, Main Function, Location, Memory, CPU Speed, Num CPU, Owner, Contact Name, Contact Phone, Contact Email, Bought From, Bought Date, Maintenance, Network Drop,Console Drop
Options SysAdmin = user1{1}, user2{2}, user3{3}

so one way we can think of is using "{1} List Display = ...."
"{2} List Display = ...."
"{3} List Display = ...."
because most of the time the user is interested in his own machine. Maybe you have better suggestion.

2. We need to change elog.conf file to use or not use "List Display". Is there a way to control it through web? If this is not applicable. It's fine, we won't change the view frequently.
