I implemented a "max content length = xxx" flag, which defaults to 10MB. If an
attachment is larger, an error gets displayed. The problem is that elogd can
only send the error message to the browser *after* it received the whole
request, so it has to "drain" the 240 MB first, which could take quite some
time on a slow connection.

Alternatively, I can cut the connection to the browser immediately, since the
HTTP header contains the content length after the first ~500 bytes, but in
that case the browser only shows a message box "Document contains no data"
which gives the user noe clue of what's wrong.

Anyhow the biggest problem of elog in high stress environments is that it's
single threaded. So if someone issues a search in a large logbook, it could
take some time, in which elog cannot respond to other requests. Maybe I will
find time in the future to make elog multithreaded, but certainly not in the
near future.

I did not have the following problem in any snapshot before 23.7.04 .
Actually I do not have a possibility to test the snapshot under an other
system than win xp pro sp 1 (fully pached). 

Using my logbooks as well as the demo logbook works well under older
snapsgots of 2.5.3 as well as long as the "List Display = <attributes>" is
not used!

Using "List Display = <attributes>" produces an ususal output with the text
field content in the first row and a row title of the first 3 letters.

Ex.:
Attributes = Customername, Customeraddres
List Display = Customername, Customeraddres

Output:
¦Cus¦Customeraddres¦

If no record is in the logbook, only the "Cus" is dispalyed! Removing "List
Display = <attributes>" produces a normal output with same logbook!

By the way: Thnak's for the Format in the entry/edit view!!!

I fixed that problem. Please get the snapshot from July 28th 14:16.

Thank you very much Stefan!!!

Also the horizontal alignement with "Format = 1" looks much better   as before
with standard css files! Really great work!

I have some problems of understanding how the "Format <attribute>" parameter
is working. It may be, that there was a similar question in the forum, but I
didn't find it. I'm sorry if I come back with an old question.

I would like to have 2two attributes in the same line. As ex. PersonName,
PersonCity.

If I understand the handbook correctly, it should be posslible with "Format
<attribute> = 1". However, I'm not able to use the "Format <attribute>"
correctly because I do not understand how to use it correctly in the cfg file.

Is there a possibilty of an example by Stafan or does anybody else already
use this feature successfuly and is able to post a example here?

Thank's a lot!

Is there a way to disable editing of the textarea, but still allow editing 
of other fields in the entry? (e.g. Fixed Attributes Edit = Text)
Also, is the data entered in that field accessible through a variable like 
$author? I tried $text, but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,

By the way... Nice work on this. It has a lot of good features.

HI 
I have setup top group in my elog . I will want to restrict the different 
admin user on the global and the global on top groups .
But however i am not able to use the configuration on "admin user" on the 
global portion to strict admin of top group to access the main global 
config .
Did i configure it wrongly or is there a way?

And for email notification , is there a way which i can select who to email 
it to ? like check box etc.

And is there a way which i can setup the summary page to refresh every 
15mins , so that new entry can be shown ?

And can i make the message id unique , when i move the messages from one 
log book to another log book , the messages id change accorddingly based on 
the number or messages . Anyway for me to make it fixed even i moved to 
another log book , i need the running number still .

Sorry for the many questions
Thanks for your help

Hello to all,

I'm trying to get ELOG to run several separate logbooks which will
eventually have their own password/user files and other little things.
The problem I have is I want to have a main selection type page so when a
user enters ELOG they see this page with links on it to main logbook groups.

So, for my example I'd have a main page INDEX1.HTML which has links to:
  /Server_Logbooks
  /Other_Logbooks

but I want those top groups to just show standard ELOG generated logbook
list once you select a link on index1.html page.
Unfortunately "Selection page = index1.html" if defined in [global] just
gets used everywhere, so once I click on a link to go to
http://elog.blah.internal/Server_Logbooks it just shows the same index1.html
selection page. So I never get to the actual logbook list...
I could make separate selection pages for each top logbook group,
but that means that I have to alter those HTML files every time I add or
remove a logbook. I'd ruther have ELOG generate those pages on the fly.

Is there any way to do this?
Could I tell ELOG not to use a selection page at all for a particular group
of logbooks, and just show the logbook list.

Thank you very much.

GL.
