The snapshot version you sent me seems to be locked onto port 80 and does not honor 
the port directive in elog.cfg....

In principle yes, but I never tried it...

Hi Stefan,

Many thanks, it works. I'm impressed by your reactivity ! thanks again.

Is it possible to have a conditionnal attribute depend on an extendanble one ?

Actually it was never foreseen to have extendable options in the [global]
section. I added now this functionality. The new windows version can be obtained
under

Hi,

the use of extendable options in the global section seem to "crash" elogd 
when creating a new entry.
My elogd.cfg is included
the problem attribute is "Client"
Should it be possible to have it extendable only in one specific logbook ?

Are extendable and conditionnal "compatible" on the same set of attributes ?

Cheers,
Marc

I finally found some time to address this problem. It was related to the way I
do the page redirection. The "Location:" in the HTTP header used a relative
path, although the standard requires an absolute (full) path, which I just
discovered. Although most browsers accept a relative path, the safari browser
obviously does not. 

I changed the redirection to absolute paths, the new version can be obtained
via CVS.

I implemented the feature to import the main entry text body from a CSV column labeled
"text". Please see the newest release
(http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/src/elogd.c?rev=1.319) and let me know if this
works for you.

I had to add code to break apart long text bodies after 78 characters in order not to
get too long lines. Please note that the maximum body size in the CSV import is limited
to 500 characters.

No, but this request is already on the wishlist
(http://midas.psi.ch/elog/wishlist.html) since some time. I added your vote.
