Displaying images in the list view is possible by going to the "Find" page and
checking "Display full entries" and "Show attachments". This can even be
automatized by putting

Start page = ?mode=full&attach=1

into the configuration file.

PS, EPS and PDF files cannot be displayed inline by the browser (at least not
the browsers I know). I guess what you want is that users submit PDFs, and elog
should convert the PDF automatically into JPG and display a reduced version of
it. Unfortunately this is not possible, and it never will be, since one of the
design prinicples of elog is to be independent of any other package, and with
the requested functionality you would need lots of helper functions (like
ghostview, pbmtools, etc.) which some of which are not present under Windows.

Using a HTML <img width=100 ...> does not help. The image is then shown in a
smaller scale, but still the full picture has to be transferred. For making
thumbnails, you again need external libraries (see point above).

So if you want extensive image processing, you might be better of with a picture
gallery like applications, but maybe the automatic attachment display shown
above helps a little bit.

here is a piece of my current config:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Required Attributes = Author, Type, Subject

Options Type = Deposition{1}, Arc Studies{1}, Conditioning{1}, Vacuum{2},
Other{3}
Show Attributes = Author, Subject, Type

{1}ROptions Category = Nb, NbN, W, cavity system
{2}ROptions Category = pump, leak, mounting

{1}Show Attributes = Author, Subject, Type, Category
{2}Show Attributes = Author, Subject, Type, Category
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

this is an escamotage I use to have the option to be displyed.
I mean that something like the following:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Required Attributes = Author, Type, Subject
Options Type = Deposition{1}, Arc Studies{1}, Conditioning{1}, Vacuum{2},
Other{3}
Preset Type = Deposition

{1}ROptions Category = Nb, NbN, W, cavity system
{2}ROptions Category = pump, leak, mounting

{3}Show Attributes = Author, Subject, Type
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

rises a bug: the select input correctly shows "Deposition" as preselected
value, BUT the attributes shown are not those identified by the "{3}".
re-selecting by hand the "deposition" Type option everything goes right.

sorry for my bad english

I'm configuring this great application in order to replace the previous
elogbook my community is using (in the accelerator's world).

One of the main and mandatory feature they cannot renunce is the possibility
of displaying every attached image just inline, without having to click over
the file name or to enter the entry view (in which the attachment can
already be displayed inline) ...  

- images (and hopefully ps, eps, pdf) be displayed inline just after the
text body of the message in the main "List" view
- possibility to configure the scale of this view
- possibility of build some thumbs in order to save BW and time


Is there any way to do it or any plan to implement such a feature in the
very next future ?

Have a look at the elog:Config+Examples. The configuration of this Forum for
example is there, covering most of the available options.

Hi 

Is there a repository of elog configuration files for newbies to lookup and
learn ? I have seen the 'contributions' elog - useful as it is ... it is not
much. I would appreciate if someone can point out such a site where people
have contributed their elog configuration files.

Thanks,

Yes, this was fixed in revision 1.550 of elogd.c. You apparently have revision 1.54x
which does not yet contain the patch. You need to donwload the newest version from
CVS and compile it by hand (or wait for the next major release).

I am running into problems when I try and use the

Use Email From = $user_email 

setting in my individual logbook configs. I had to set this field as I set a 

Use Email From = real_email_address 

in my global config so that the email would be sent out by the
CommunigatePro mail server.

When I made those changes though the mail was not sent and I got the
following errors in the elog log:

It looks like Communigate Pro doesn't like what is being put in the From as
it complains about the syntax. 

I tried the same elog.conf file on my laptop which uses a qmail server as
its SMTP and the mail was sent ok but I got mailto appearing in the from
header. I saw that elog:333 reported a similar problem but this was listed
as fixed. This is the headers from a message sent by the qmail server:

Hey, elog made it to SOLEIL! You know, we run it here at the SLS...

There was indeed a bug which only happend when switching to French! Some
javascript code contained

confirm('Erreur: l'attribute .... ')

So the "'" in l'attribute finished the string and Javascript stopped working. I
changed the quotes to

confirm("Erreur: l'attribute .... ")

so it works now. The new version is under CVS.
