Hi Stefan,

I'm starting to get a similar problem to Lance's ("SQL Database").  Searching is beginning to take time.

In searching, I either can search one logbook (still relatively quick), or all of them.

I have my logbooks in groups, and often I know which group I want to search, and it would make the searching
much quicker were the search confined to just that group.  I don't think I've missed anything in the
documentation on this matter.  

If not a change to the elog program, is there another way of (say) arranging the logbooks that will achieve this?

You can't do that right now. I would have to extend the functionality to allow searching in groups. Also have a look 
at https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/66901. Maybe that helps a bit in meantime.

Hi Stefan,

I was rather hoping that was *not* going to be your answer.

I much prefer the plain ascii file format, for it allows me to edit it for "mistakes" post submission, 
shall we say.

Hi,

I'm trying to configure Elog such that users can self-register. But no luck so far.
I cannot get the login screen. I'm connecting to a logbook (and I can do this without logging in).
Shouldn't I get a screen to login/register?

Here is my elogd.cfg:
[global]
Port=8880
Password file = /usr/local/elog/logbooks/passwd
SMTP host = smtp.mydomain.de
SMTP user = kuku
Logfile = /usr/local/elog/logs/elog.log
Admin user = kuku other
Login user = abc def ghi
SSL=1
URL=https://www.mydomain.de:8880/
Self register = 1
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help

Admin user = me@mydomain.de
[Demo]
Admin Password = 9lVlUsigs4neBt9xnX44YYQay15Yu9PyLC9hK6sifI9
Attributes = Author, Status
[Linux]
Admin Password = 9lVlUsigs4next9PnXShhQQa515Yu9PyLC9hK6sifI9
Attributes = Author, Status
[Windows]
Admin Password = 9lVlUsigs4neBt9PnXShhQQay15YuxPyLC9hK6sifI9
Attributes = Author, Status

You should not mix "Password file" with "Admin Password". Either use one or the other system, but not both. So 
remove "Admin Password", and delete all cookies in your browser, then you should see the login screen.

This is now my config - it still doesn't work. BTW, the passwd file is empty (despite of the xml header).

[global]
Port=8880
Password file = /usr/local/elog/logbooks/passwd
SMTP host = smtp.mydomain.de
SMTP user = kuku
Logfile = /usr/local/elog/logs/elog.log
Logging Level = 3
Admin user = kuku 
Login user = abc def ghi
SSL=1

URL=https://myhost.mydomain:8880/
Self register = 1
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help
[Demo]
Attributes = Author, Status
[Linux]
Attributes = Author, Status
[Windows]
Attributes = Author, Status

Thanks for helping.
