I'd like to be able to prevent non-logged-in users from seeing what logbooks exist in a top group. Currently it seems that one is only required to log in once one has chosen a logbook. Is this possible?


To protect the logbook selection page, you put the "password file = <file>" into the [global] section or the [global <top group>] section. So "hide" the top group selection page, you put a "show top groups = 0" into the [global] section.


I already had the "password file = <file>" in the [global <top group>] section but I was still able to see the logbooks in that section. Neither moving the password line to [global] nor setting Show Top Groups = 0 helped. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Chris.

So if you have time and fun doing it, you could restructure the documentation page into some separate pages, to give people a better overview. Please send the modified pages back to me and I will include them on the web site.

I'll try to put this together in the next week or two. Thanks for all your help,
Chris.

If you move the "password file = <file>" entry around, you can get fooled by stored cookies. So after each modification, make sure to delete all cookies in your browser.

This didn't work, but after corresponding with Stefan privately, the following did:

[global]
Show Top Groups = 1

[global top_group]
Protect selection page = 1
Password file = papers.pwd

Thanks again, Stefan.

I hope this is the correct place for an apparent bug report. The display is incorrect except when displaying a particular entry. I just downloaded 2.6.0-beta thinking I was getting 2.5.9. Nice surprise. The elcode (bbcode? ) is a great idea, but the display, when showing the main screen of a logbook does not have the correct fields showing in the correct places. I will attach two screen captures for illustraton. Never mind, I guess not. It is not letting me upload the screen captures. On the main screen, for example, my field contents for "Route" appear in the "Text" field. But when on the specific entry screen, these field contents are in the correct field. I will be glad to eamil the screen captures, if anyone wants.

I am running Firefox 1.0.3 (same results with IE 6, BTW), on a WinXP OS (sorry fellows, but I am still in process of learning Linux, so I have not tried this version of elog on it, yet), on a Gateway 2.2 GHZ, 1 GB RAM PC.


BTW, I love elog and have it running at work. It is being used extensively.

I guess it did upload. Here is the other screen capture.

Never mind. I figured it out. I used two fields (date and time) that are automatically placed in elog. It messed up the spacing, altough what was puzzling was that it displayed correctly on the entry itself, but not the list. Anyway, I renamed the date and time to another name and it is ok.

Thanks, anyway. Keep up the good work.

We just did the 2.60 beta upgrade, and now our pre-existing logbooks, with a
List Display = Name, Author, Date for example will only show the first two fields.

It seems like Elog is dropping the last attribute in the List Display line.

We can 'fix' it by making it say:
List Display = Name, Author, Date, Date
so that it drops the second Date, but that is a bad workaround.

Anyone else seeing this?

Elog 2.60 beta on Linux, Firefox 1.04 as the client. Or IE fully patched on WinXP SP2.

PS: Love Elog at work here too! Truly has made our documentation way better. And RSS feeds of the logbooks is just wonderful.
