icon5.gif   Notify email recipient of attachments without including?, posted by Chris Green on Wed Jul 27 17:38:25 2005 
Hi,

Our elog is going to be taking some large attachments. I've disabled the attachments from going out in the email, but I'd like email recipients to know that the post has attachments associated with it. Is there a mechanism to do this already, or would it be an enhancement? I'm looking for something like:

Email Notify Attachments = 0 | 1 | 2

Where 0 = no notification,
1 = number only,
2 = list

... independent of whether attachments are included with the email itself.

Thanks,
Chris.

But "Summary" page of my e-log continues to display additional column "Text". Kindly advise how to hide this last column.


Summary lines = 0

Also, is it possible to assign % width for each of these columns (ID, Author, Type, When, Subject)


Yes, via the Cascading Style Sheets, but only for the single display page. First put a

Format Author = 0, author_name, author_value

then put into your default.css following sections:
.author_name {
  width:10%;
  text-align:right;
  font-size:14pt;
  background-color:#AAAAFF;
  border:1px solid #0000FF;
  border-top:1px solid white;
  border-left:1px solid white;
  padding:3px;
}

.author_value {
  width:10%;
  font-size:14pt;
  border:1px solid #308000;
  border-top:1px solid white;
  border-left:1px solid white;
  background-color:#BBCCBB;
  padding:3px;
}

Here you can then play with the width, font-size etc. I use this for example for the large subject dispaly in this forum.

On the list display however, the column width is determined by the browser, which tries to optimally arrange the colums for best readability.

I added Email Format = 64 for only attachment names. So you could set Email Format = 111 to get everything except the full attachments.

Thanks for this. Will verify as soon as someone posts to the (now live) logbook.

icon5.gif   Changes in Comment and Elog Index page?, posted by ralphb on Wed Aug 10 11:28:30 2005 
Just updated to ELOG V2.6.0-beta4 from V2.5.6-2 and I note a couple of changes:

- HTML code inculed in elog.cfg "Comment" lines were previously rendered, now they are not. e.g. "Comment = Some comment
<A href="http://somedomain.com/some.html" target="_top">&nbsp; Some link text</A>" Is this change deliberate, or is the functionality likely to return? Any workaround?

- The "Several logbooks are defined on this host" elog index page was previously collapsable, now it is not. Same questions as previous.

Thanks & best regards,

Ralph.
icon2.gif   something for the wishlist: 'Recent Changes', posted by Heiko Scheit on Fri Aug 26 13:08:10 2005 
Something for the wishlist:

A 'Recent Changes'-link (option) that lists entries that were changed
recently, where 'recent' can be changed from 1,2,3...(some maximum)
days.

OK, I've fixed that one with "Expand Selection page = 0"

Two possible solutions:

1. Use ELOG's RSS support (look for "RSS Title" in the config syntax help). I added an RSS icon to each entry with "Bottom Text=<a href="http://myserver:8080/mylogbook/elog.rdf"><img border=0 height="14" width="36" src="/Rssicon_3614.gif" alt="[RSS]"></a>

2. Add a new attribute "Revised" and config it as follows: "Locked attributes = Revised" and "Subst on Edit Revised = $date". It'll get updated each time the entry gets updated. Then all you just need to create a link to "http://yourserver:8080/yourlogbook/page?mode=summary&rsort=Revised"

Best regards, Ralph.
