Weired, the icon is displayed in the search page just as "up.gif", and the 
elogd server should get this from the current themes/default/ directory. Try 
http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Forum/up.gif . So where do you get your two 
slashes from?

I vaguely remember there was once a problem with that date. So can you please 
try again with a recent version of ELOG?

i just entered a new message and it's doing the same thing...

the version showing at the bottom of the listing is v2.1.2 (even though i updated to 2.1.3)

Since the way ELOG works has changed in version 2.2.0 (show message list as 
default view), the configuration file elgod.cfg for this site became 
slightly simpler. The usual "Start page = ?cmd=Search" is not necessary any 
more due to the changed default view. The commands displaying the last x or 
last x days of messages are still working, but depreciated, since the "Show 
last xxx" facility takes care of that. The default menu commands have been 
change which reflect the modified default view. The single elog page now 
has a "back" link instead the find result page.

Here is the updated version:

Hi,

I am having trouble modifying the elog client to allow larger attachment.  I
have elogd configure for attchment sizes of 10Meg and I would like the
option to be able to use the elog client.  Can anyone give me key points as
to how to go about doing this?  I have tried but I must be missing something.

Also, as a suggestion, it might make sense to add a MAX_ATTACHMENT_SIZE def
in a common header file.

Thanks
Kevin

I modified the elog program such that the attachment buffer is dynamically 
allocated which means that it works with any size. Please find the updated 
version at

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/elog/elog.c?rev=1.10

Note that for attachments larger than ~2MB, one hase to increase the 
WEB_BUFFER_SIZE in elogd.c.

Hello,
I am running Elog V2.1.3 on Solaris 8 and I was very pleased about this 
tool.But now I have a problem: Sometimes it takes a lot of time submitting 
an entry into a logbook, up to 3 minutes. This behaviour does only occur 
sometimes. Did anyone of You experience something like this?

if you have a site that requires authentication to the smtp server, how do 
you specify this info in elog???

thanks,
eric
