The first thing you can do with "Guest menu commands", where you enable only those commands which can't change or delete entries. The second thing you can only do if you put your entries into two separate logbooks, a public and a private one. 

 Hi all,

Is there a way to add more icons to the currently available icons when you are in the edit mode. For example instead of having this  icon if I want to add a different icon that is not in the list.

The reason I ask is that I want for example to have an icon of a bug(for software bugs) or something different.

I looked in the elog's installation directory and I could find all of the available icons but couldn't see any place where I could modify the installation to allow me access to the extra icons.

Thanks in advance.

Behdad.

You need to do two things:

1) Add you new icon to  <elog directory>\themes\default\icons

2) Refer to your new icon in the config file like

IOptions Icon = icon1.gif, icon2.gif, new_icon.gif

 Thank you for the reply but I think you misunderstood me. I am not after icons for the attributes. I am after icons that I can insert it into my records text like this one.... . So I just like to customize my icons in the "Insert Smiley" list.

Is this possible?

Thank you.

Ah, ok. Now I understand. This is however deep inside the fckeditor and I have no idea how to change it. Maybe you can get some help from the fckeditor community? All I found is the directory

<elog>/scripts/fckeditor/editor/image/smiley/msn

which contains some smileys. Maybe you can edit those?

<elog>/scripts/fckeditor/editor/image/smiley/msn

 Oh, thanks Stefan. I will try find out, if I do I will post here later on.

Thank you.

 Ok, I think I found it. The link below explains how to do it. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks about right:

I have been playing with Elog on windows 7.  I want to set up an elog that can be accessed from our local network, and I discovered that can be done by running the server on windows and entering the host machine's computer-name:8080 in a browser on any machine on the network.

I had the server registered as a windows service, but oddly, when I re-booted the server didn't seem to be running (problem #1).

I then ran into some other problems (currently trivial) but I eventually got around to uninstalling and reinstalling Elog.  I deleted all the existing logbooks and data files when I uninstalled, and even deleted everything in the folder I had used as a backup to the Elog directory.  So, after reinstalling, I should be getting only the demo logbook and the original demo entry, right?

BUT I'm actually getting the three logbooks that I had created before I uninstalled (problem #2).  Even though the entire Elog directory was deleted when I uninstalled... including config file and logbook directory.  I can go into "Program Files" now and see that the config file present is the default/demo config file (from the most recent install)... yet when I launch elog in a browser, I am seeing those three logbooks from before, even though they should be gone from my hard drive.

Elog must be storing data somewhere else... where?

(p.s. I've also tried clearing my cache and deleting cookies in the browser)

If it's relevant, when I'm not on the local PC hosting the server, I am accessing it through a university network, and I've found that I can enter computer-name:8080 from ANY machine on the University's nertwork to access elog.
