I usually access hosts in LAN with their IPs. But elogd seems to prefer hostnames to IPs. I cannot ask each one to add the hostname to their system config
file while they visit my host. I encounter several problems which seems to be related to the hostname resolution:

icon4.gif   Can't use the command-line client, posted by Pieter Edelman on Wed Mar 16 20:04:32 2005 
Hi all,

I'm trying to use the command-line client from linux, but I can't make it
work and that's driving me nuts...

What I want is to reply to a selected message in the logbook, but I
stumble onto two problems:

Okidokie. May I then humbly suggest to mention this in the documentation of the elog command client?

I did modify it already, see http://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html at the bottom.

I have a similar problem. I am using Windows version, and whenever I use the elog client to send entry, it will not take with MOptions set. I usually have
2 attributes required (both MOptions), and I get the message that it is missing a required attribute. When I use ROptions, or Options, it works fine. Is
there a problem with MOptions, or am I perhaps using a badly formatted commandline?

I just noticed in the changelog that my apparent problem with MOptions may have been fixed. I will try a newer version and see if it works.

icon5.gif   Can I turn off emoticons?, posted by Dan Chitwood on Wed Sep 21 04:24:43 2005 
Is there a way to not use the emoticons, but at the same time use the ELCode?  

An example would be to add a slash before the emoticon code like this: /:)

I, too, found that this elcode.js file was missing.  However, it seems to be present on this demo site!

so, I downloaded it from this very demo site, and saved it to my system (in the root of your resources folder).  This (so far) seems to have made the "ELCode"

Just updated to ELOG V2.6.0-beta4 from V2.5.6-2 and I note a couple of changes:

- HTML code inculed in elog.cfg "Comment" lines were previously rendered, now they are not.  e.g. "Comment = Some comment<BR> <A href="http://somedomain.com/some.html"

OK, I've fixed that one with "Expand Selection page = 0"
