Say I have an attribute called OS

Instead of having a drop down box is there a way to use either the radio 
button like what is used with ICON?

Create a blank text file (called mine passwd.txt)
Place the text file somewhere in the elog directory structure
(I placed mine in c:\elog\passwd.txt because i wanted to use it globally 
for all logbooks.  I believe this forum places it in \elog\logbooks\forum 
directory).

For the Elogd.cfg:

[Forum]
; general options
Password file = c:\elog\passwd.txt
Admin user = user1
Self register = 1
Theme = default

or

[global]
logbook tabs = 1
tab cellpadding = 2
SMTP host = smtp.host.net
URL = http://myelog
Password file = c:\elog\passwd.txt
Admin user = user1
Self register = 1


For the first time logging in, Click Login from the Forum Pages, then at 
the login screen, click Register as New User
Fill out all the appropriate information
example:

Login name: user1 (seems to be case sensative)
Full name: First User
Email:  user1@email.net
Automatic email notification:  (box checked)
Password:  password (seems to be case sensative)
Retype password:  password (seems to be case sensative)

Then click Save

If you open up the passwd.txt file you should see something like:

user1:cGFzc3dvcmQ=:First User:user1@email.net:all

Some other examples based on what info you provided during the 
registration:

user1::First User:user1@email.net:all   (password left blank)
user1:cGFzc3dvcmQ=:First User:user1@email.net (NO Auto email Notify)
user1::First User::all (password and email address left blank)

If you leave the Full Name blank then the logged in user will not be 
reflected correctly in the logbook.

Hope this helps.

if you have a site that requires authentication to the smtp server, how do 
you specify this info in elog???

thanks,

When ELOG is configured for Self-Register=3, is it still possible
to use the Author attribute as a Quick Filter? 

When I try it, the Author drop down box doesn't display anything.

Thanks,

Hi Stefan,

Many users have there email forward to Blackberry devices.  Although I 
wasn't aware, it appears the Blackberry has a limit (or maybe one was set) 
of how big the message can be (still checking for that though).

Previously, a modification was made that addressed the issue of slow ELOG 
response when saving the elog entry.   I think the change was for ELOG to 
generate one email and send to all the users designated to receive the 
notification.  This caused everyone to show up as "TO" addresses.

This change makes the Email header increase in size (length).  I guess the 
Blackberry counts the Header portion as part of the email size limit.

Any ideas?

Thanks, 
Eric

Another Question:  Could ELOG be configured to send notifications as a Blind 
Copy?  Just wondering if that would take care of the problem?

I just noticed that the notifications I receive from your ELOG system, 
doesn't show anyone in the "TO:" section but myself.  Or is ELOG configured 
to only send myself a message?

When you do a find in elog, records per page (some crazy large number - for 
your forum logbook, display 57 entries seem to cause the problem, then 
select last year (1 years worth of logs),(don't select printable)

the results appear way off the screen (the message body looks fine, but the 
title, etc extend way off the screen).

Printable doesn't have this problem.
