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.

That has been fixed in meantime.

There is an elegant way to achieve this already now: Use an RSS reader (like
SharpReader for Windows or Straw from Linux) and subscribe to a logbook. Then don't
read the entries directly in the logbook, but read them in your RSS reader. Once you
read them, they become automatically marked read.

Has been fixed as well.

> - Use "and" and "or" operands in queries                                        

Elog supports now regular expressions. So for a "<str1> OR <str2>" one can write

<str1>|<str2>

and for a "<str1> AND <str2>" one can write

<str1>.*<str2>|<str2>.*<str1>

Looks a bit complicated, but maybe some day we will get some code which rewrites
"AND" and "OR" as regular expressions.

It seems that the quick filter searches are now (2.5.4-6) case sensitive.
Could you add an option to specify this in the config file?  Or does it
exist already?

Can you show us your config? I had this issue when i was initially trying to integrate elog with apache.

Here's the global section and the logbook section for one of the logbooks affected.  Of note, the 'demo' logbook works
fine and does not have this issue.

Your usage of "Top group" is strange. Top groups should only be used for independent groups of logbooks, more like you were running one dedicated sever fore 
a group of logbooks. Further, you defined logbooks (2008, 2009, ...) which do not exist in your config. Why don't you just remove the "Top group" line from your 
config? If you want to group different logbooks, just use the "group" command as written in the docs.

I answer myself... Modify the value of width=100% in the class .listtitle2 in the .css file.

Good night,

I would be grateful if someone could indicate me, how could I increase the size of the block where the text of the atribute are in the summary mode.I would like, for example, increase the size of the "subject" you can see on the picture.

Thank you so much!!!

; these attributes cannot be changed
Locked Attributes             = Author, Author Email

and then I change Preset Author to be "$long_name" Elog does not permit the autor to edit an old post of its own ...
It is not able to argue that short and long name are the same person..

Yes I know, you'll ask me why I should change it .. the anwer is.. I don't have to, but (as I could do it logically) I'd like to be able to do..

In my case I changed it by error, people inserted entries and now I restored the correct one .. so now I have to unlock the attribute and change every Author by hand as admin
Smile



a problem related to this issue is that an attribute of userlist type automatically sets the user to be in the long form..

My proposal is to alwais store users in the long form and anly give the possibility to use the short or long form in displaing time..
