Hello Mr. Ritt,

I've changed the category to "Request" because I think it would be practical
if I can hide the attributes which are build on values of other attributes with
"Change".

No, I havn't tried it, because it's the only way where I can see ALL attributes, and
I belief, that it works to hide the attributes on all views.

Here an Example:

I have 5 attributes where I can enter values, and 5 addtitional attributes build on them.
I can't see all of them in list view, so the only way to see/use them is the detailed view.
But because there is no value to insert/change these attributes should be hidden in NEW/EDIT mode.
As an workaround I LOCK/FIX these attributes so I can't insert values, but there are now many empty lines.
So if you can implement this functionality it would be great, but if not it's not so bad, 
I can "live" with it ;)

Holger

As default http://<hostname>/<LOGBOOK> shows the Summary View.
Clicking in "Full" changes the URL to http://<hostname>/<LOGBOOK>/?mode=full.
But now the URL http://<hostname>/<LOGBOOK> show the Full view as default.
I think the URL without ?mode=... should show every time the same result,
regardless the view used before. Or maybe I can configure, which view I want to
see if I use the URL w/o ?mode=... The option to hide/show attachments is affected too.

Example:
Default view mode = 0 | 1 | 2 | 3
0 = remember last used (default)
1 = Summary
2 = Full
3 = Threaded


Default attachment mode = 0 | 1 | 2
0 = remember last used (default)
1 = Hide attachment
2 = Show Attachment

Hello Alex,

can you please provide the following information:
- Which ELOG version do you use?
- From which logbook are the screenshots? (I assume it's Liste - right?)

I've tested your configuration with version V2.6.1-1663, and in my case it works.
I use your attribute block in GLOBAL section and the following logbook:

[DEMO]
Comment = TEST
Attributes = Admin, Client, Equipment
Extendable options = Client, Equipment

Regards
Holger

Thank you for your explanation. My situation was, that I've played around with "Mode commands = 0". In normal case I 
use the Summary view, but on one logbook I've changed it to Full before, and after setting the parameter I can't 
revert it to Summary. But now I know how it works and can use it like intended.

Maybe it is a wrong configuration, because in this forum it works well.
If I change the encoding in the logbook entry I get "Submit modified ELOG entry?",
and after clicking OK the entry is closed. Because this behavior is on all loggbooks
it must be a global config entry, but I dont know, which.
Here is the GLOBAL section:

Expand Selection page = 1
URL = http://sapelogs/
Date Format = %d.%m.%Y
Time Format = %d.%m.%Y %H:%M
Reverse Sort = 1
Menu commands = New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Download, Find, Last day, Last 10, Select, Copy to, Config, Admin, 
Login, Logout, Help
Find Menu commands = New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Download, Find, Last day, Last 10, Select, Config, Admin, Login, 
Logout
Password file = passwords.txt
Login expiration = 2
Admin user = ME
Suppress Email to users = 1
Self register = 0
Logout to main = 1
admin textarea = 150,45
Entries per page = 100
Mode commands = 1
Use Lock = 1
Supress Email on edit = 1
Supress default = 1
Summary lines = 1

Icon comment log.gif = Allg. Log
.....
Group SAP = .....

OK, it seems, that the last part of the Use Lock documentation is the explanation:
----
If someone edits an entry, but then goes away from that page or closes the browser without submitting the 
changes, a pop-up window appears asking the user to submit the changed entry. Although this works for most 
browsers in most cases, it could be that Javascript has been turned off in a browser, in which case the stale 
locks still might appear.
---
So if I switch the encoding the whole entry is reloaded, and the JS take it as leaving.
Is it possible to change this behavior? Changing encoding should be handled different as
"regular" leaving.

Additional information:
If you have set Use Lock = 1 you can't switch the encoding on a NEW entry.
The new entry is closed w/o saving. To prevent this you must input any data,
after them you can save the NEW entry with the PopUp-OK. But there can't be 
anyone else on a new entry?
