Hello,

I have a quick question regarding how to display text using the "Top text" 
feature in the elogd.cfg file.  I've made an entry that looks like the 
following:

Top text = <h1>TEXT TO DISPLAY</h1>

But instead of getting just "TEXT TO DISPLAY" I get something like this:

----begin page ---
/usr/local/elog         "TEXT TO DISPLAY"

...rest of page 

----end page ---

...that is, on the far left at the top of the page in unformatted text 
is "/usr/local/elog/" prepended to the text I want do display. 

I don't know if this is a bug, or (more likely) something misconfigured in 
my setup. But any help that could be provided would be most greatful.

Thanks,

Val

As I wrote, you have to get the latest elogd.c, revision 1.272 and *COMPILE* it 
(or wait for the next official release). If you cannot compile elogd.c, let me 
know and I can send you the executable.

All I can offer is send me your config file for the problematic logbook, and 
I will try to reproduce the error.

I have done all that you suggested and all I get is the Message ID # that takes 
me to the message.
I even upgraded to the 2.5.1 version. Then I placed the elogd.c in the SRC 
folder. Also placed the images in the themes folder.
When I edit the List Display line it throws all my columns off by 1.
No luck so far. 
Any suggestions?

PS
Thanks for such a quick reply!

Since I'n not a programmer I's like to be very carefulls with bug  
reports, but after testing for a while, I belive this my be a bug or  
something else:  
  
I have 2 systems running ELOG 2.5.1:   
1. uSE Linux 8.2, KDE 3.2 = NO problems at all! ELOG work's in every  
function quiet well!  
2. The Internet Server (of my friend): Windows 2003 Server, All MS paches  
installed, Running IIS 6.0 Port 80) and ELOG 2.5.1 (Port 8080) under  
FireDeamon 1.6GA (actual release) as a Service (Deamon).   
  
Problem under Win 2k3:  
This works very well, even with several users on the system and on ELOG  
as long as there is not msg. threaded! Is a Msg. Treaded ELOG produces  
the msg. showen in the attached Jepg-file below on Win 2k3.  
The problem occurs as soon as Elog would change to the threaded display 
or by clicking "Repaly" in the menu. Rights etc. are aleady checked on 
the file system and are looking well. Everithing will work well as 
nothing is thraded or testing locally under Linunx. 
 
Does anybody  
have an idea??? It my by a bog on Elog as well as from Microsoft or a  
problem produced by a dummy user (me...!). Since Linux don't have the  
problem and the same cfg-file and log-files are working well if I don't  
use mode=threaded as well as Display mode = threaded I believe it my be a  
realchance not to be the personal factor of the dummy user...   
  
ThankX for every hint!  
  
  

Thank's!!!  :-)) 
 
Great solution. Exactly what I need!

This can be easily achieved with the configuration option

Start page = ?sort=<attribute>

or

Start page = ?rsort=<attribute>

where <attribute> is your date.

In your case, you need the URL

http://www.familienhund.ch:8080/Aktuelles+Programm/?sort=Datum+wann

which can be obtained via

Start page = ?sort=Datum+wann

I really don't know if anybody already had this problem or i just didn't 
find the solution in the documenttaion: 
 
There is a possibility to sort the log by the value of a attribute as 
well as a flag for reverse sort. anf it's quite easy to build up a 
command line with the sort attribute and value. But this only works from 
a self written command line. 
 
Is there any possibilty to make ELOG soring by default (without a 
command line option) by a other attribute than date? I would use a date 
set by the user manually to sort the log file, even the user clicks on 
the log-name.  
 
or may it be a possibility for a additional feature, like a logbook 
option "Default sort = my own date" and the logbok get sorted by this 
attribute and option by default. 
 
Would be happy about every tip! ThankX!
