know that illness...  :-(  but was the last of the family of 4 people

i'd like to ask for an other usefull change togehter with this and how url's are 
handled by elog:

since there may be spaces in the name of a logbook (ex. "1stWordOfLogbook 
2ndWordOfLogbook") it is very userfriendly to name logbooks. also it's easy th 
make a reference for a other entry by copy and paste:

Display ThisURL = http://localhost:8080/$logbook/$message id

however, using spaces in the logbook name may give a wrong result, because the 
url would be http://localhost:8080/1stWordOfLogbook

and the space as well as the 2ndWordOfLogbook//$message id is only normal text.

may it be possible stefan, to replace the space in an url (starting 
with "http://") with a "+" or "%20"? this would allow to automate some things. 
actual the logbook name has to be hardcoded.

Ok, I changed that in version 2.5.5-3. Note that one can also use the "elog:..."
substitution, like

Display ThisURL = elog:$logbook/$message id

The <pubDate> item doesn't appear to be a valid RFC-822 date.  Causes some
aggregators to fail when parsing.

The error is shown by Feedvalidator:

I fixed that, now it passes the Feedvalidator. New version is under CVS.

Sorry my late reply, was very busy these days... (;-) Can you send me your
elogd.cfg so that I can see how you defined your groups?

icon4.gif   MOptions and Extendable, posted by Neil Swartz on Sat Jan 8 17:31:07 2005 
If an attribute uses MOptions and is also extendable, clicking "Add 
<attribute name>" and entering a value adds the value to the MOptions, but 
does not put the value into the log entry. The log record has that 
attribute blank.
You have to go back into the record and edit it to put the new value in.

icon5.gif   Menu command = doesn't list, posted by PJ Meyer on Wed Jan 12 23:53:27 2005 
Have tried to use "Menu commands =" to list menu commands available as per:
"Menu commands = List, Back, New, Edit, Delete, Find, Config, HELP, Logout"

but it does not seem to work; with command above I get default menu 
structure.

Using:
"Find Menu commands = List, Back, New, Edit, Find, Delete, Config, Logout, 
HELP"

I get the menu I want.
Q what's the difference?????
