Andreas,
Thanks for your comments. Thats why I posted in the first msg my configuration details... I just hope there can be a solution :)
I saw in the doc that an attribute cant be bigger than 100 char. but I couldn't figure the maximum size for options...  I'm wondering if the issue comes from the browser not refreshing correctly or if its elog..
Again, I tought that if that was from elog limitations, the attributes wouldn't load the options presets at all... but they do, (attribute volume) ... just not all the time :)

I understand that you are proactive on this forum and eventually I was thinking of contributing with detailed specific config examples but for now I just would like to get on track :) 
The last time I used Elog was 10 years ago :) it changed alot since :)
icon5.gif   Submit to multiple logbooks simultaniously, posted by Francois Cloutier on Fri Sep 25 19:10:45 2015 

Good day,

My question is : Is it possible to submit to multiple logbooks simultaniously ?

I have 5 logbooks that could share common attributes, is there a way to acheive that without recreate a new entry in each of them ?

Thanks for your help.

icon6.gif   Applying cell style or some sort of subst in list view only, posted by Francois Cloutier on Thu Feb 4 14:21:19 2016 
Good day,

I have an attribute that is 25 chars. it can be empty until someone edit it to fill the information.
The default view for that logbook is List. 

Is it possible to display that attribute in list view but not the entire 25 chars ?
What I mean is that if the field is empty, show it as empty but if it has some information, show something like "X" in List view.

I tried playing with Styles and Cell Styles but I couldn't figure it out...
Cell Style seams to require specific values "" to apply the style properties. I can't figure how to apply cell style "if field is not empty" :)

Thanks for your help :)
icon1.gif   rename menu commands , posted by Francois Cloutier on Tue Apr 11 17:24:48 2017 

Hi !

I do have an setup were I would like to rename the menu command but keeping their fonction. Namely, I would like to rename the "copy to" button to "Duplicate" since thats the option I would like to put in place ( Copy to = Same logbook only).

I tried to do so with css but it is not possible since the button doesn't have a specific id... Would you have another solution ? 

Thanks for your help !

Somehow, I've missed to see that option :)

Thanks :)

Hm, maybe my question is silly, but why don't you just use the "Duplicate" command instead of renaming and misusing "Copy to"??

Here is the relevant excerpt from the documentation (https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#general):

Menu commands = <list>
This option specifies the menu commands displayed on top of a single logbook page. For certain installations, it can be useful to disable some commands. Following commands are possible:

  • New - Enter new logbook entry
  • Edit - Edit current logbook entry
  • Delete - Delete current logbook entry
  • Reply - Submit a reply to current entry
  • Duplicate - Duplicate the current entry with the possibility to change some values
  • [...]
  • Copy to - Copy entry to other logbook
  • [...]

The commands are always in English, independent of the language = ... setting, and are automatically translated into the specified language.
If this option is not present, following default is used:

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Help

icon5.gif   Attachment not downloaded when elog is mirrored ?, posted by Franck Sabatie on Tue Mar 31 15:16:58 2009 

Hello,

I just mirrored a logbook and noticed attachments are missed.

On another similar note, when an email notification is sent and the post has attachment, the attachment show up in the email BUT there is nothing in them.

Anything special I should know about those attachments ?

Thank you,

F.Sabatié
