I added a paramet "case sensitive search" which does this. In addition, the
switch defines the default state of the "case sensitive" check box on the find
page. The new functionality will be contained in the next release.
icon5.gif   Date imports from CSV incorrectly, posted by David Brody on Tue Jan 10 00:32:19 2006 
When I import from a CSV file, dates formatted as mm/dd/yy always get imported as 12/31/1969

Here are the parameters I am using for dates:

Attributes = Ticket #, Status, Assigned To, Status Date, Install Date, Category, Activity, Environment, Component, TstTrk
Type Status Date = date
Type Install Date = date
Date format = %A, %d %B, %Y

Preset Status Date = $date


Thanks!

Never mind. I figured it out!

Stefan, the validation still fails on the ampersand ... here is an example of your online Demo elog: http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/920

Ok, I fixed that, the validation link above show a valid page.
icon3.gif   Howto subscribe to ELOG RSS feeds in Mozilla Thunderbird, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Apr 8 14:35:19 2005 rss.gif
So subscribe to ELOG RSS feeds, do the following:

- In Thunderbird, click "Tools/Account setting", then click "Add account",
"RSS News & Blogs", "Next", "Finish", "Ok".

- Select "News & Blogs" in the "Folders" pane, right-click and select
"Properties"

- Click on "Manage Subscriptions..."

- Click on "Add"

- Enter the Feed URL of elog. Use your logbook URL and add "elog.rdf". For
this forum for example, enter

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/elog.rdf

- Click OK. That's all.

See how the RSS feed shows up in the attached image. Please note that you
need public read access to your logbook for this to work (via "Guest menu
commands"), since the RSS mechanism does not support authentication.
icon3.gif   Link To command..., posted by Tim Iskander on Mon Apr 18 17:57:38 2005 
Is it possible to create a Link To command (ala Copy To, Move To) that
would allow you to reference an entry in another log book without copying it?
This would be handy as the info would be kept current in both log books.
My thought is that it would create a psuedo entry in the other log
book that pointed back at the originating log book entry (similar to a 
UNIX soft link)

What you ask for is not possible due to internal reasons. The underlying database
does not support links. But what you can do is to reference a logbook entry with

elog :<loglook>/<id>

So I can reference your question with elog:Forum/1099. Some people make even
complete "summary" pages where they reference a whole set of other logbook entries like
