Hi

I was just wondering if it is possible to define what logbooks you want
mirrored in the [Global] part of the elogd.conf file. I want to mirror the
logbooks that I use for work from my laptop to the work server but I have
set up other logbooks that I will use for uni and other non work projects. 

I have set the mirroring up in [Global] using the cron based settings but I
am guessing that is going to try and mirror all the logbooks. 

;The mirror settings
Mirror server = tanami:8080
;Mirror the contents of the elogd.conf file for individual logbooks but not
global settings
Mirror config = 1
;Mirror every hour between 07:00 and 20:00 during the week day
Mirror cron = 0 7-20 * * 1-5
Mirror user = john

I gather my personal logbooks won't sync across as I get an "error accessing
remote logbook" so that is fine but was just wondering if you can set it so
that you can define in global what logbooks you want to sync.

thank you
John

I added a new option

Mirror exclude = 1

which has to be put into the individual logbook section (not the [global] one).
The modification will be contained in the next release.

Thank you very much Stefan.

I implemented experimentally RSS feeds into Elog. Before releasing this new
addition, I would like to collect some experience with it. This forum now
supports RSS feeds, for which you can subscribe with a RSS feed reader like
Mozilla Firefox. Please give it a try and send me any feedback.

For an introduction to RSS feeds, please see 

http://www.webreference.com/authoring/languages/xml/rss/intro/

To subscribe to a logbook, enter following URL into your RSS reader:

http://<your-elog-host.domain>/<logbook>/elog.rdf

From the newest Mozilla Firefox browser, you can also click on the RSS box at
the lower right corner of the browser (see attachment).

I do not know if this is a problen of the 2.5.5 (11/03/04) version or of
other versions as well:

I'm using the $message id parameter in a substitution:
Subst KlientIn/KundIn = $Vorname $Name; P: $Telefon Privat; G: $Telefon
Geschäft; N: $Telefon Mobil; $Landeskennung-$PLZ $Ortschaft [<a
href="http://localhost:8080/$logbook/$message id">$logbook:$mesage id</a>]

the "$message id" will not be replaced by the msg id, the string "$message
id"  will be dispalyed and used. Other substitutions as $logbook etc. are
working.

Is this a bug or did i missunderstood the manual?

Since Version 2.5.5: If ELOG is running under German, the "Zurück" Bottom is
named "Back". Any Idee where I can change this back?  ;-)

2.5.4-6 was corretly translated.

Well, the manual does not state that "$message id" should work for "Subst
<attribute>" option (;-)

The reason is that the message ID is available only *after* a new entry has been
written to the database, and the "Subst" command is evaluated *before* an entry
is submitted. "$message id" only works for "Thread display", "RSS Title", "Subst
on reply", "Subst on edit" and "Display". You should use

Display KlientIn/KundIn = $Vorname $Name; P: $Telefon Privat; G: $Telefon
Geschaft; N: $Telefon Mobil; $Landeskennung-$PLZ $Ortschaft [<a
href="http://localhost:8080/$logbook/$message id">$logbook:$message id</a>]

Please note that you wrote "mesage id", correct is however "message id" (two
"s"), so there is also a typo.

The link "Back" has been replaced upon request by "List" which is more
appropriate. So if you changed your menu with "Menu commands = ...", please
replace "Back" by "List" there.

1. thats now clear with the £message id and the work-around is ok for my 
needs

2. the "bacl" link is clear and tranlated to "Liste". But I mean the back 
button 
in the entry and the edit mode (see picture)...  ;-)

Well, if you try with the demo logbook, the "Back" button is translated
correctly, so I don't know whats wong in your case. Can you check that your
eloglang.german file is intact?
