I forgot to mention - this is for searching the logbook.   So would the config file look more like this:

 

 

[global]

port = 8080

 

usr = vulcanstaff

Max content length = 1073741824

Menu commands = New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Last day, Move to, Copy to, Import, Help

RSS Title = $subject, posted by $author on $entry time

RSS Entries = 10

Options Category = Date, Subject, Subtext

Quick filter = Date, Subject, Subtext

Use Lock = 1

Reverse sort = 1

Required Attributes = Author, Subject

 

 

I know that this is for searching. But you don't get the point. You have attributes, like Date, Category, Subject. Each attribute can either contain arbitrary text (like the subject), or one of a set of predefined values. So category can be, let's day, "one", "two", "three". You define the possible options of the category with

Options Category = one, two, three

If you then define the quick filter

Quick filter = Category

then you get for the category a drop-down box where you can select "one", "two" or "three". If you do so, elog shows all logbook entries where the category attribute has the selected value.

I hope that this is clearer now.
