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.

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.

On the list page, you can use "summary page title = <title>". Since this option is misleading, I renamed it to "List page title = <title>". Then I added "edit page title = <title>". Modifications are in CVS.

I added "reply comment = <comment>"

So, that gave another two options. With all that many options it's hard to read through the configuration documentation. 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.

Hi,

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?

Thanks,
Chris.

Is this intentional, or can it be changed? I'd like every page associated with a particular logbook to use that logbook's page title as at least part of its own.

Also, is it possible to have a reply comment in the same way as one has a message comment?

Thanks,
Chris.

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.
