I know there's an item on the wishlist for password expiration, so how 
about account expiration..?? (after so many days of inactivity).

One complaint that comes from management is that when a user leaves the 
agency, the elog account seems to never get deleted.  There way of asking 
me, why I never keep up with the user account deletions.  Ha Ha, like I 
have time to constantly compare the user list from elog to the user list of 
other systems.

Another plea on my part, for Elog to allow for authentication via external 
database - such as LDAP, so we wouldn't have to maintain another user 
database.

Thanks,
Eric

may be use the logic in the 'format' attribute
like 'email', http, ftp 
so elog will test only on these attributes

I have created a javascript to be used as a browser link that allows a one
step cut and paste from a web browser into a elog logbook. 

The intended application is allow a user to do a text selection in a web
browser, then click on a bookmark that automagically pastes the selected
text, the current browser page url, and the current browser page title into
a pre-defined elog logbook.   I do some research where I would like to save
some text from a webpage, but also have a record of where the webpage came
from.  However, you should find that you can extend this script in a varity
of ways for your own application.  

The script is a simple one: it uses javascript in a saved bookmark to get
your selected text, title, and url, and then creates a new browser window
with a elog form, and print the document variables into the form, and then
submits the form to elog.   The key advantage to this approach is that you
can use the "post" command, rather than "get", to submit to the text section
of an elog logbook.  The only way I found now to submit to elog via a
bookmark is using the "get" command, and it doesn't allow entry of the
"text" field, only attribute fields.    

The second major advantage to using POST is that you can submit a much large
quanity of information ; However, some checking on this leads me to believe
that the limit is browser and server depended, so YMMV.  However, a great
discussion on the limits of browsers can be found here: 
http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/browsers.html .

One of the major limits is that IE6.0 browsers have a maxium of 508 bytes
per bookmark - This book runs over 800 bytes, so I suspect tha IE6+ will not
allow it.  I tested the link with Mozilla and Firebird 0.7.

This script will need to edited for you to use with your elog logbook.
The script should be fairly self-explainitory, if you are used to html forms
and have some exposure to javascript.

You will need to modifiy the following fields:

1) in form action = http://<your_domain.com>/elog/<logbook>/?cmd=New
      change the link to point to your specific logbook to be used for entry.

2) the attribute fields need match up with the ones in your logbook.

     The ones listed in the template are Author, Email, Title, and URL.

     If you have fixed fields (like Author and Email), then you can
predefine these fields as shown.  

      I have the page title used as the entry for Title, and the page url is
 use as the URL attribute.

      Finally, I have the text selection used as the entry for the Text field.

      You can add additional fields by creating a new <input ...>  segment
in the script.  For those more clever than me, you can concatinate the
title, url and selection to paste into the Text area as well.  

3) once you have a edited version of the script (make sure you keep it as a
single line), you can then create a new bookmark in your browser, and then
paste the script into the properties->location field (for Mozilla/Firebird)
or the properites->url field (IE).  Give it a good name like "post to elog"

4) once saved, you can then go a web page, select some text, and then go to
your bookmarks and click on the bookmark.  It should then create a new
window in elog with a completed logbook entry.


some notes:

1) again, this may not work on IE6+ browsers due to M$ limitations.

2) You may have to be logged in already to elog for this work - I have not
tested the interaction using a password protected elog

3) You can only post to a single elog logbook - You'll need to have multiple
bookmarks for multiple logbooks.

  481   Fri Feb 27 03:48:05 2004 Entry RajElog+rajelio@yahoo.comQuestionWindows2.5Instant Edit Link
How I can dynamically create a link when a new submission is entered that 
will have a value of <ELOG_URL$message id?=Edit>
I want the users to be able to go straight from the main page to an edit 
page. This would skip 1 step to get to the edit page.
Is this possible. 
If that link could use one of the icons for the src image that would be 
great. 
Thanks.
:-)

we've experienced a problem when using the safari browser to do a search in
our elog. whenever you do a search, the logbook returns an error and the
elog deamon crashes. when we first experienced this problem we were running
version 2.3.9. however, an upgrade to version 2.5.2 doesn't seem to fix the
problem. searches with other browsers (mozilla, internet explorer, ...) go
off without a hitch.
has anyone else observed a similar problem or have any ideas on how to
resolve this issue.
thanks for the help.
