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.

Perfect it works !! :-)

yes I know, but it could be a "placebo" :-P .. we are using the elog in a lan so it
could be a good temporary solution ...
can you point me to some documentation I can read to be able to do it? should I edit
the css file ?

yes, of course...
can be usefull to be able to "optionally" execute some external program (a sort of
pipe) in order to be (eventually) able to set a "filter program" for attachments.
The same way an MTA does with procmail I mean.
in this case one has to be able to access both to the original image and the
processed one... |

the following should do the job:
<table><TR><TD width="200">
<img src="IMG_3133.jpg" width="100%">
</TD></TR></table>
or (better I think)
<div style="width: 200px">
<img src="IMG_3133.jpg" style="width: 100%" />
</div>
the configurable parameter should be with obviously :-) |
