icon4.gif   width of the textarea is too large (after reply), posted by Heiko Scheit on Mon Aug 4 14:02:52 2003 
The width of the textarea after pressing reply is too large. 
The problem is that the algorithm that searches for the longes line
looks for the next '\r' which it does not find and therefore takes the
number of characters in the text to be the width of the longest line.
To search for '\n' instead should solve the problem.  Please find the 
diff output below.

Yes, implemented, thank you.
icon1.gif   Currently being edited option has gone, posted by nickc1 on Thu Jul 10 10:11:41 2003 
In the current source which ive compiled and am using on our elog system, 
the feature that you put in for me that says "Entry is currently being 
edited by Joe Bloggs on 192.168.0.10" has vanished.

It removes existing locks from before updating the binary but doesnt but 
new ones on.

Is this something that was removed intentionally or by accident ?

Thanks

No, but there is now a flag "Use Lock = 0 | 1" which is zero by default, 
since not all people want this feature. So put a "Use Locl = 1" and you 
should be fine gain.

Excellent thanks
icon3.gif   Version 2.3.9 released today, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Jul 15 14:46:50 2003 
Version 2.3.9 of elog has been released today. Enhancements are:

- Added options "Use Lock", "Title image"

- New "Email format" specifies what is sent exactly in an email 
notification. This may now include also attachments

- "Format <attribute>" lets you assign separate style sheet classes to each 
attribute, making the web display more powerful (see this forum, 
the "subject" uses a separate formatting). Note that this feature requires 
an update of the old "default.css" CSS file, if a elog version prior to 
2.3.9 is already installed on a system.

- "Execute new/edit/delete" lets one execute shell commands on the server 
side for new, edited or deleted messages. Since this can cause security 
problems, a new flag "-x" has been added to the elogd daemon to enable this 
feature. It can be used to synchronize the elog database with other 
databases, or to send SMS messages to people.

- New "Logging level" option gives enhanced logging capabilities, including 
read and write access logging to individual elog entries.

- The elog utility can now edit existing messages, and correctly quotes 
messages with "> " on replies.

A few small bugs have been fixed, refer to the ChangeLog for more details.
