icon6.gif   "Full" view formatting, posted by Erik Iverson on Thu Mar 19 02:50:16 2009 
I have a logbook I use to capture machine settings. There are many (~30) different attributes defined. I've defined the "Summary" view via "List display" in such a way that not all the attributes are displayed in the summary list, because there's no practical way to fit the 30 different attributes in 30 rows across the screen, and there's no need to have every attribute shown in the summary view. I would like to define something for the "Full" view that lets me put one (or more, but not all) attributes per line; much like the single-entry view does now, just with multiple entries. So a "Full" listing would look like

ID: 1
Attribute1: Value1
Attribute2: Value2
Attribute3: Value3
Text...

ID: 2
Attribute1: Value1
Attribute2: Value2
Attribute3: Value3
Text...

rather than
ID Attribute1 Attribute2 Attribute3
1 Value1 Value2 Value3
Text...
2 Value1 Value2 Value3
Text...
etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks as always for a wonderful piece of software!
icon5.gif   "Forgot Password?" link not working?, posted by Mike on Sat Apr 18 02:49:42 2009 

I have my site running under apache. I don't have a /elog/ directory.

for example most would do http://www.example.com/elog/ to visit elog

but my site loads at http://www.example.com/

The site is private so it's password protected. Everything works fine except

if I click the "Forgot Password" link it does nothing.

but if I go to one of the log books...

http://www.example.com/open/

The forgot password link works.

Is there anyway to fix this? I have nothing else running on the server, it's dedicated to only ELOG.

That's why I don't want to have it running under /elog/ in the url.

icon8.gif   "Error: Cannot find hostname", posted by Exaos Lee on Sun Oct 9 20:39:50 2005 
I usually access hosts in LAN with their IPs. But elogd seems to prefer hostnames to IPs. I cannot ask each one to add the hostname to their system config file while they visit my host. I encounter several problems which seems to be related to the hostname resolution:
  • I can visit remote elog service through IP and port, but cannot submit entry and cannot open the config page remotely. For example, my powerbook's name is "exaos-pb-12" and its IP is 10.10.2.96. I run elogd on my PB and try to access it through URL http://10.10.2.96:8080/ on host 10.10.2.99. While I submit a new entry or open the config page, my firefox alway blames: "exaos-pb-12.local could not be found. Please check the name and try again."
  • Sometimes, all the images, colors are missing. It looks like that my firefox cannot find the correct URL of these images or CSS files. It might be the same problem of "cannot find hostname".
icon5.gif   "Drop attachments here..." only functional in IE, posted by Michael Hibbard on Thu Apr 5 06:00:09 2018 

Hello, the "drop attachments here..." feature is very useful, especially when I have multiple files. I can drag them all over in one operation, however I have noticed that this feature only works well in the IE browser.

It does not work reliably in Safari/Chrome/Firefox. I have tired in both 3.1.3 and 3.1.2. I also have the same symptom on the Demo log book of this site.

Please advise. Thank you for the continued development of Elog.

Hi,

"Default encoding" appears to have the default value of 2 (HTML) instead of 0 (ELCode) as documented in http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html

ELOG V2.7.0-1954 : elog.c line 8952

icon5.gif   "Collapse to last = 1" problem when reply twice to the same entry, posted by Gabriele Sirri on Sat Oct 24 01:10:24 2009 
Hello.

Please look at the entry 66525 of this forum (just 5 thread before this one):

 ->  chain.crt, posted by Gerhard Schneider on Thu Sep 3 21:55:52 2009         (66525)
  |->    Re: chain.crt, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Sep 4 08:33:16 2009       (66526)
  |->    Re: chain.crt, posted by Gerhard Schneider on Wed Oct 7 07:56:52 2009 (66556)

When you collapse the thread, it is collapsed to the 66526 instead of the 66556 (more recent)

  +      Re: chain.crt, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Sep 4 08:33:16 2009  

I guess it is because both 66526 and 66556 replies to the first entry. 
I have the same problem with Elog v2.7.7-2246 and Windows. 

In general, it seems to work well only if you always reply to the last entry of a thread.

  Thank you.


b.t.w. : is there any tip to always force reply to the last entry of a thread?
icon5.gif   dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed, posted by Dani on Tue Oct 27 15:41:57 2015 

Dear all,

Is it possible to have a dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed?

I would like to switch the template file depending on the attribute value (Type). 

If user already started editing the text body, on change (Type) he could lose this data. 

I'm using this example code :
Attributes = Type, Subject
Options Type = One{1}, Two{2}, Three{3}
Show text = 0

{1} Preset text = text1
{2} Preset text = text2
{3} Preset text = text3
{1,2,3} Show text = 1


I the attribute type change the user lost the data, because the text has been replaced.

Any idea about how to solve it?

Thanks!
Cheers
