I usually keep http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html up-to-date, but I agree that it's a bit hard to find the additions there, that's why there is the change log Wink

The ELCode is described on a separate page, which can also be accessed by clicking on the ELCode link below the text box of the logbook entry page.

Users can access root level directories by using a modified URL. I saw on some security web sites that this was a problem in previous versions. Was it not fixed in 2.6?

If this was previously reported, is there a fix?

Thanks for telling me, I didn't know. I was able to reproduce your problem under certain conditions, and I just released version 2.6.1 to fix it. However it has nothing to do with an old buffer overflow (see elog:941).

I would strongly advise everybody to upgrade as soon as possible.

I'm pretty busy these days, since we have a deadline on April 18th. I started already working weekends, so not much time is left for ELOG. But I hope it will get better by the end of this month.
