  1743   Thu Mar 2 23:32:25 2006 Question Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comRequestAll2.6.1Top Groups and logbook directorys
I am re-working our elog setup and am seriously looking at using the "Top Group" feature. What I like best is the ability to create [global] configurations for a group (or type) of logbook when I host multiple types on the same server. I also like being able to specify a different password file, etc.

A limitation that I run into is I would really like the actual directory names used for storing the logbooks for the different types to be identical - which isn't possible when all logbooks (regardless of context) exist at the same directory level. For example, I might have:

3 physical locations: ABC, DEF, GHI

For each location I want to maintain two *groups* of logbooks - CircuitTests and BoardTests. What I would like to end up with is:
- CircuitTests
----ABC
----DEF
----GHI
- BoardTests
----ABC
----DEF
----GHI

Under current elog this is not possble as far as I know. Since each logbook is a physical directory, each logbook requires a unique name. The concept of a named [global] area fills the bill for all things but it would be nifty if one could do:
[global circuittests]
Logbook dir = circuittestlogbooks

[global boardtests]
Logbook dir = boardtestlogbooks

I suppose the poorman's way of doing this is for each logbook to do the following:
[ABC]
Subdir = boardtestlogbooks/ABC
[DEF]
Subdir = boardtestlogbooks/DEF
[GHI]
Subdir = boardtestlogbooks/GHI

or something like that, but I was hopic for something a little more integrated - like creating the hierarchical stuff via the GUI. Anyway, this probably sounds like a major overhaul, which definitely wouldn't be worth it unless I have completely missed something glaringly obvious.

Thanks!

The problem has been fixed in version 2.6.1-3, so just upgrade.

You have to put a "\" in front of everything which should not get converted into a link, so elog:1741/1 does not get interpreted.


Hello Smile

This is what I have done, I checked out the trunk from subversion and built it inside my powerpc QEMU. I just updated the executables and the elcode.js file, and now it works.

Thanks!

I added that feature, but will not be able to commit it before the next weekend.

Hello

I'm running elog on the blackdog embedded device so I can carry it around while doing my consultant work.

Whenever I try to insert an inline picture by using the
elog: /1
paths with ELCode, the link becomes "logbookname2/1" (Where logbookname is the name of my logbook) and hence, doesn't work. I recall that it worked once. The image did not display, but the URL seemed correct...

Any ideas?

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.

I implemented a "Hide attributes = ..." option, with which you can do what you requested, but unfortunately I'm
sitting here in Siberia and have only limited internet access, so I can only submit the modification next weekend.
