Stefan,

Just wanted to say, great job on this logbook.  I've been with you from the 
beginnning, and I must say it's evolved into an awesome tool.  Our IT dept 
lives by this logbook for change control mgmt, as well as a great way to 
keep everyone informed.   Not to mention what a great audit / reference 
tool it has become.

Hi,

is there a documentation for the elconv tool available?

Regards,

Stefan

Is it possible to make the author and pwd check case in-sensitive??  I 
noticed that unless you type your userid and password in the same case each 
time, the system doesn't recognize your or thinks the info is invalid.

thanks,
eric

Some options for the password setting:
The ability that if admin creates a temporary password for the user, force 
the user to change the password once logged in.

User forgets password, system generates a random pwd and sends it to user 
via email, after they log in force pwd change. 

option to expire an account or expire a pwd after so many days??

just some ideas..

still loving the new features!!

any way to specify that a particular option be in a date format or even 
the ability to specifiy the category must be of a particular format:
-must be a number 
-must be a date
-must be alpha
-must be certain length

Say I have an attribute called OS

Instead of having a drop down box is there a way to use either the radio 
button like what is used with ICON?

Create a blank text file (called mine passwd.txt)
Place the text file somewhere in the elog directory structure
(I placed mine in c:\elog\passwd.txt because i wanted to use it globally 
for all logbooks.  I believe this forum places it in \elog\logbooks\forum 
directory).

For the Elogd.cfg:

[Forum]
; general options
Password file = c:\elog\passwd.txt
Admin user = user1
Self register = 1
Theme = default

or

[global]
logbook tabs = 1
tab cellpadding = 2
SMTP host = smtp.host.net
URL = http://myelog
Password file = c:\elog\passwd.txt
Admin user = user1
Self register = 1


For the first time logging in, Click Login from the Forum Pages, then at 
the login screen, click Register as New User
Fill out all the appropriate information
example:

Login name: user1 (seems to be case sensative)
Full name: First User
Email:  user1@email.net
Automatic email notification:  (box checked)
Password:  password (seems to be case sensative)
Retype password:  password (seems to be case sensative)

Then click Save

If you open up the passwd.txt file you should see something like:

user1:cGFzc3dvcmQ=:First User:user1@email.net:all

Some other examples based on what info you provided during the 
registration:

user1::First User:user1@email.net:all   (password left blank)
user1:cGFzc3dvcmQ=:First User:user1@email.net (NO Auto email Notify)
user1::First User::all (password and email address left blank)

If you leave the Full Name blank then the logged in user will not be 
reflected correctly in the logbook.

Hope this helps.

Eric
