This is the configuration from this logbook. There are a few special things:

  • it uses the same password file as the 'forum' logbook
  • it has a guest menu so that people without an account can read it
  • the author and email are automatically taken from the password file
  • a 'last revision' gets updated on each edit
  • entries can only changed by the origial author ('restrict edit = 1')
  • no email notification is sent

Please find the elogd.cfg attached.
