The above "deadc0de" came from when I submitted an entry.

Where is one (note that it is another elogd version), I search all logbook for "pure .* ring" in subject in "Mode: Raw".

Hi

I've just upgraded to 2.7.5 mainly because I wanted to have Museremail sorted.  We use this to list contacts on an RFC form and it's much easier to find the ones you want when they are in a predictable sequence.  As an extension to this it would be great if they could be sorted by the last part of their real name - typical user, give him a sweetie and he wants jam on it!

cheers

Steve

Hi

Thanks for elog - it's a brilliant piece of software.  I'd looked all over for open source software to log/manage change requests before discovering elog; it's so flexible that I've been able to do everything I need with it.

However, I think that I've just discovered my first undocumented 'feature'.  Attribute names containing punctuation characters (e.g. / and :) cause "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded" errors in Firefox 3.0.2 and corrupt the URL if they're used in a Quick Filter.  I often use '/' in attribute names for brevity, e.g. "Old/New Versions" but hadn't used one in a Quick Filter before.

keep up the good work.

regards

Steve

I went to upgrade to the new version of elog I receive a error message that is.

error: Failed dependencies:
	libssl.so.6 is needed by elog-2.7.5-1.i386
	rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by elog-2.7.5-1.i386

Do I need these dependencies for elog to work? If I do need them where do I get them for Suse 10.2.

Thank you for any help.

Carl

elogd continues to run after a SIGHUP. If a second SIGHUP is received the daemon terminates.
This was observed on Solaris 10 (SPARC).
The documentation states that elogd should re-read configuration after receiving SIGHUP.

If I add this statement to a logbook config file:

Show attachments = 0

When viewing and individual entry, attached images are not displayed, which is as intended, but the links Show/Hide and Show All/Hide All are still displayed although they do nothing when clicked except switch between Show and Hide. Clicking on an image opens it in a separate window.

Could you make show/hide and show/hide all work? This way, by default the images are not displayed, but the default could be overridden on a case by case basis as desired, and the images displayed inline in the same window with the entry. 

Thanks!

 Sorry for the delayed reply.

Ideally I'd like a config setting so that by default all graphics are presented at a fixed thumbnail size, so the users don't have to edit the image size every time they add one. Clicking on the thumbnail would open the image full size.

This would by default streamline loading and scanning through pages with many large images, whether in Full view of an entire logbook, or when viewing individual entries.
