Have you tried

Show Attributes = Admin, Hostname, IP-Adresse, Funktion, RIB Hostname, RIB IP

???

Does it bother you if then the attributes are also hidden in the detailed view?

No, I havn't tried it, because it's the only way where I can see ALL attributes, and
I belief, that it works to hide the attributes on all views.

Here an Example:

I have 5 attributes where I can enter values, and 5 addtitional attributes build on them.
I can't see all of them in list view, so the only way to see/use them is the detailed view.
But because there is no value to insert/change these attributes should be hidden in NEW/EDIT mode.
As an workaround I LOCK/FIX these attributes so I can't insert values, but there are now many empty lines.
So if you can implement this functionality it would be great, but if not it's not so bad, 
I can "live" with it ;)

Holger

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.

  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!
  1745   Fri Mar 3 18:02:59 2006 Question Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comRequestAll2.6.1Allow $attributes in "Comment = " option
Is it possible to allow $attribute substitutions in the "Comment =" option for logbooks?
  1746   Sat Mar 4 05:17:14 2006 Idea Glenn Horton-Smithgahs@phys.ksu.eduRequestAll2.6.1-1668require smileys to have whitespace on either side?
It would be nice if elog would only interpret something as a smiley if it is surrounded by whitespace. It can be particularly annoying that an 8 followed by a right paren becomes a "cool" smiley -- e.g., a parenthetical reference to event eighteen (18) becomes mangled... [That was "18" inside the parens.]

Is there already a way to solve this issue (other than always previewing your entries and adding spaces before parans)? Is the feature hard to implement?

Perhaps it is best to ignore this -- I went for a workaround that I like. I am running into a few quirky things with Top Group but it is likely due to the fact that I have never used it.

The "Comment =" option for logbooks gives a general comment, like Discussion forum about ELOG for this forum. Since this comment is global, it does not make sense to have $attribute substitution.
