After installing ELOG on a new Windows 8 machine, I found everything working fine... until I went to make a new entry.   New entries work... but the FCKEditor toolbars do not show up.  I tried a variety of things (start as a service, start not as a service, run as administrator), but nothing made the toolbar appear that I coumd find.  The ELCode editor toolbar appears, but the nifty FCKEditor toobar never appears.  I could not figure out how to debug FCKEditor.  Any ideas?

 Hi,

I have several top groups and each has several logbooks.

If I use the global option Protect Selection page=1 and Show top groups = 1, after an user logs in to the top group selection URL, the elog steers away from the top group selection page, and automatically brings him to the logbook selection page of the first top group. Is the elog programmed to exhibit this behavior?

What I would prefer is that, after an user logs in, the elog stays on the top group selection page, sine each user has his preferred destination, not always the logbooks in the first top group. Is there any setting I can use in the config file to do this? 

(My users need to access different top groups and logbooks on regular basis).

Thank you and regards.

 I am currently having a similar problem. I am migrating a few separate elogs to one new computer. I have three top groups set up with their own password files. If I log into top group A (TGA), and then try to go to top group B (TGB), I am presented with a "Create new user" screen for my login name for TGA. When I complete that form, I am taken to the user settings for top group A, rather than TGB. I can log out of TGA and then log into TGB fine, but if I try to switch between them without logging out, it freaks out.

There seems to be a problem with the cookies that keep me logged into the different top groups not recognizing that they are different entities. I'm running eLog 2.9.1 rev 436. Is it possible that this has been addressed in 2.9.2?

Thanks,

 Thanks for the reply.  I was looking for a way to stop replies to a runaway thread.  Was wondering why the elog system has a "Locked by" attribute, but no way to set it.

With

allow <command> = <user list>

deny <command> = <user list>

you can prevent certain users to use certain commands (like delete a message). If you only allow admins to issue the "edit" command, that would in principle do it, but then normal users cannot edit their entries any more. Unfortunately this command cannot be restricted to certain attributes, like the thread "status". So I guess what you want is not exactly possible with the current implementation.
