The way to do this is to ensure that the date of the entry is in the future.  As a hard -core linux (ab)user of elog, I create an entry, then dive into the yymmdda.log files, and edit it so that the date at the top of the entry is, for example, Sat, 31 Dec 2022 23:59:59.  Then, that entry will remain at the top of the listings until the New Year.  I do this very thing for the very same reason, i.e. to keep one entry at the top of the listings until after a certain date.

It may be that if you have "date of entry" field and sort by that, you could set the date of entry in the future.  I've not tried that.

The same effect could be done by adjusting the computer/server's date to the future, make the entry and then reset back to the present, but that may well be unpopular and impractical.  On a single computer, I have done this, although I then changed to editing the yymmdda.log file directly.

We use our instance of ELOG as a operations log so that newest events are sorted at the top.

Sometimes we are also up front informed about planned maintenance, and i would be nice to could "pin" them at the top - before the sorting, so that operatores could have them in mind when starting a new shift. Have anyone found a way to solve this?

Dear Stefan,

that is strange since I logged in ... 

It seems like when I go in the shift check topic in the elog, it does not get my login id ... is there something coming from the HTML file that should be set in order to get the login from elog ?

see in the attached image : I am logged in but I still need to feed the Author item. And even If I fill it, 

And then if I Click on new to write a new filling form, author is not filled as you could see on the second image "Author ?"  ...

so I don' see from where appears the problem

Is it possible to have within elog (defined in password file?) a user group so that only those members of a group have certain elements visible?

Probably people have to log in to the logbook before opening the form. I guess the "submit not allowed" comes from the fact that they access the logbook as a guest.

Hi Laurent

OK, i can recreate the unzip to folder and run elogd.exe and it works :-). If i unzip to the folder of the version installed (with the windows installer) where it runs elogd.exe as a service, the service won't start.

The problem with the dll files only applies to the post from Just Keijser containing only the executables (3 files) and these executables repport missing: libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll and libssl-1_1-x64.dll

These versions are a black box for me, are the important?

The unzip version (your version) reports: ELOG V3.1.4-395e101 (I think this is the same number as for the 2018 installed version)
The version with the 3 exe files (my version) from Just Keijser reports: ELOG V3.1.4-1ebfd06c
This site reports: ELOG V3.1.4-bcd7b50

Hi Finn,

I've just tested the same archive on new laptop with Windows 11. 
I unzip it and double-click elogd.exe file, bypass defender warning and the server is running.
To test, i open localhost:8080 on web client and it displays the demo logbook.

Btw i didn't test it as a service. What are the 2 libs you said it misses ?
