Hi, 

I was just searching your online discussion forum for entries with the 
word 'password' in the subject. I noticed that the 'Full' option in 
the 'full/summary/threaded' line displays the results of all entries in the 
logbook, and not only the entries with the word 'password' in the subject.

I think there is an error in the URL, because when looking for the word 
password in the subject, the URL for the 'Full' option is:
http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/page1?mode=full&reve&npp=8&Subject=password

If I change the word 'reve' in this URL to 'reversed=1', the results are 
correct

Your guess is correct. I would like to have that feature in ELOG.

Thanks

Yes. Put all common settings into the [global] section, only differences into
the individual logbook sections. Like

[global]
Attributes = ....
Options ....

[A]
; Logbook A is different
Attributes = ....
Options = ...

[B]
Option X = ...

[C]
Option X = ...

[D]
Option X = ...

This way all logbooks "inherit" the settings from the [global] section, only the
differents are superseeded in the individual sections. Still you need two lines
for each logbook, but all recurring configuration can be omitted.

I fixed this bug. Please obtain the newest snapshot (see download page).

Hi,

I want to create a series of logbooks, say logbook A, and logbooks B up to 
including S. I want the logbooks B,C,D,E,...S to have the same options and 
layout, the only difference is: the name of the logbook, and an options or 
extendable options list. All other settings of logbooks B-S are the same, 
while logbook A is a completely different logbook. 

I know I can simply copy the settings for logbook B and repeat the settings 
for all logbooks C-S. But is there a better way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

An options list that starts with a double-quotes character (") is handled 
incorrectly. 

Try the line: 
Options Student name  = "Doe, John", "Foo, Bar".

The ELOG list will have four entries, namely:
 - Doe
 - John
 - "
 - Foo, Bar

Thanks Stefan. Again, my hat is off to you for a great app.

Thank you Stefan!

1. Will help in the real hard cases!

2. Great! Specially editing adresses or some stutus overviews will be easier with a compleate
overview!
