No, you have to copy entries manually with the "Copy to" menu command. For that, you have to put something like
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Copy to, Delete, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Help
into your configuration file. |

Hi Jason, how is going? Long time no hear!
What you need is following line in your config file:
URL = http://localhost:8080/
This is because elog does not know its "own" address, and therefore tries to figure this out over the network. Your laptop probably has the name "syslvester", and you run it inside columbia.edu, so it "thinks" it can reach itself via http://sylvester.columbioa.edu:8080. The URL statement above overrides this "guess".
Best regards,
Stefan |

No, but there is a trick you can use. Put following into your config file:
Attributes = Author, ...
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
Options Author = Admin{1}, other{2}
{1}Suppress default = 1
Replace "Admin" with the name of the administrator. The "Author" field gets automatically set to the author name, and it's locked, so there will no be drop-down box which lets you select between "Admin" and "other". Now if the author is equal to "Admin", the condition {1} becomes true, and the "Supress default is executed. This check the "suppress email notificatio" box at the bottom, so normally no email gets sent from the administrator. |

Re: Problems with ELOG and Internet Explorer, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Jan 18 13:31:32 2006

Have you tried another browser, like Firefox? Do you have the same problems with Firefox? Can you try the following:
Start elogd manually with the "-v" flag, like
elogd -c <your config path> -v -p 8080 and watch the output carefully. When you submit an entry, elogd does redirection. You will see that in the HTTP header you have an entry like
...
Location: https://...
... This location is taken from the URL statement of your config file. If it's wrong (like if you mixed http:// and https://), your browser will try to load the page from a non-existion location. |

That button works as follows: When you are active browsing entries, your activity is recorded (only the time) in the password file. Now when you are inactive for more than one hour, you are considered "logged out", and your last activity is taken as a filter for new entries. That means you see new entries since your last activity in the logbook. If you want to see the last day/week/month etc. you can define a quick filter on the date instead. |

Sorry my late reply, but now I have fixed this problem. The update is under SVN and will be contained in the next release. |
Thanks for that. I am now using ver V2.6.1-1622. So I guess that doesn't qualify as a "next release". I wonder if there is anything I could do to work around the issue?

In fact now the dropdown seems to be working but when I 'tick' an entry, it is not being written to the ascii file. |
