I changed it such that drafts are not shown at all in ELOG. The only way you realize them is if you hit "new", and you will be prompted if there is any pending draft.

Hi Stefan,
I got an answer to a forum entry before I actually finished writing my post! It is obviously possible to reply to a draft message.
I think it would be excellent if draft messages would only be shown to their authors (except maybe in case of an anonymous author).
It feels wrong if I watch people while they making an entry ;-)
Anyway, it is just an idea.
Cheers
Andreas

Thanks Andreas

We are still playing around with ideas, just thought I'd ask, didn't think it was possible.

We are ok with setting attributes but this is new to us as yet so may have more questions later.

Hi Neal,
you can preload words into one attribute field, but one field is either editable or not, you cannot protect single words in a field.
But the ELOG way to solve this would be to have multiple attributes: you would get one entry field for each attribute.
Just look at this logbook: it has the attributes Icon, Author, Author Email, Category, OS, ELOG Version and Subject.
You can change the content of each attribute (except of "Author", that field is made here to be not editable), but as a normal user you cannot change the names in front of the fields.
Did you've set up the demo logbook and played around with it? Because your question suggests to me that you don't figured out yet what ELOG does. Or as a direct answer: no, it does not make sense to me ;-)
But I'm sure you'll figure it out: ELOG is best learned by trial and error.
Kind Regards
Andreas

Sorry I call this field that you write in the subject field, a little confusing.

So is there anyway to fix the indicated words in place in this typing space so you can enter the text you want next to them but be unable to delete them. (does this make sense?)

Dear Neal,
I don't understand your example. There is no such thing as a "subject field". You can define an attribute called "subject", like in this logbook.
But I would guess that you want to have five attributes "Time Off", "Reason", etc. that cannot be altered after an entry has been created? That's easy.
Or do you want to protect entries with specific content not to be deleted? That is not easy.
Please explain in more detail what you want to achieve, and I'll be happy to help.

Cheers, Andreas

Thanks for reporting this bug, I fixed it in revision 1597.

Thanks for your quick reaction! Unfortunately, there is one side effect. As far as I understand, you fixed the bug by preserving the command attributes
http://www.logbook.domain/logbook/pageN?command
when browsing with the Goto page links, so that when a filter is applied, it is still active upon page change. However, the same is true for all other commands, including the
?id=NNN
command which is active when clicking List from single entry view. If you click onto, e.g. Previous in this mode, the elogd has a conflict in that it is required to display one page and having to highlight an entry that resides on another.
http://www.logbook.domain/logbook/pageN?id=NNN
The highlighting supersedes, and the page browse links are effectively disabled. Is there a way to keep the bug fix but disable the side effects, e.g. selectively not preserving the
?id=NNN
upon page browsing? Maybe you could implement a "blacklist" of not-to-be-preserved commands, in case there are other problems like this one.


Thanks for the work (I saw the timestamp!)

Addendum: in the Forum, I found a very strange effect: When deliberately highlighting an entry (http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?id=1858), the Elog server no longer keeps the page partitioning, but displays ALL entries of the logbook. I don't know if these problems are related, but maybe you could check (we use the "Full" mode for the list view, in case that matters). I have tried to reproduce the problem with our logbook in threaded mode, but we don't seem to have this problem there.

  66040   Mon Nov 10 19:40:43 2008 Entry Dennis Seitzdseitz@berkeley.eduBug report 2.7.3-2109Show/Hide links are displayed but don't work if Show attachments = 0

If I add this statement to a logbook config file:

Show attachments = 0

When viewing and individual entry, attached images are not displayed, which is as intended, but the links Show/Hide and Show All/Hide All are still displayed although they do nothing when clicked except switch between Show and Hide. Clicking on an image opens it in a separate window.

Could you make show/hide and show/hide all work? This way, by default the images are not displayed, but the default could be overridden on a case by case basis as desired, and the images displayed inline in the same window with the entry. 

Thanks!

Hello,
I'm having some difficulties in having a tasks manager up and running.
The total attributes list is:
 
- Attributes = List, Project, SubProject, SubSubProject, Title, Priority, Context, Status, Due Date, Start Date, Alarm, Repeat
 
I would like to have the interface display the following attribute when I click "New":
 
- List (Options = Personal, Work)
 
After choosing a List "Personal" I would like to have the following attributes available for edit:
 
- List (Options = Personal, Work)
- Project (Options = Dummy1)
- Title
- Priority (Options = ...)
- Context (Options = ...)
- Status (Options = ...)
- Due Date (datetime)
- Start Date (datetime)
- Alarm (datetime)
- Repeat (Options = ...)
 
After choosing the Project "Dummy1" I would like to have the following attributes available for edit:
 
- List (Options = Personal, Work)
- Project (Options = Dummy1)
- SubProject (Options = Dummy2)
- Title
- Priority (Options = ...)
- Context (Options = ...)
- Status (Options = ...)
- Due Date (datetime)
- Start Date (datetime)
- Alarm (datetime)
- Repeat (Options = ...)
 
where Dummy2 is an option of the SubProject attribute only because Dummy1 was the chosen option of attribute Project.
 
What happens is that when I choose Dummy1 from the Project attribute, the SubProject attribute is not displayed in order to be editable.
 
Is there a way around this?
 
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Diogo

  68080   Wed Aug 12 23:44:16 2015 Question Eric Quinteroericq@caltech.eduQuestionAll3.0.0-70b274bShow attachments = 0

I have "Show attachments = 0" set in [global], but attachments are shown in the "Full" view. Is this the intended behavior? Looking at individual entries correctly hides the attachments. 

We use inline images often, so when an attachement is shown at the bottom of a post it is effectively a duplicate, which clutters things up a bit.
