I guess you mean the main body text, which is multi-line. No, this is not
possible right, now, but I added your vote to the wishlist istem "Multi-line
attributes".

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

Thanks

  659   Wed Aug 11 15:38:07 2004 Question Jen Manzjennifer.manz@lmco.comQuestionWindows Restricting viewing messages
I am working on a logbook for a lab.  I have two questions...
First - Some of the logbook entries should not be viewed by certain users.  
What would be the easiest way to restrict viewing some entries?  

Second - I have a welcome page for the ELOG that lists some info about the 
ELOG.  When I start the ELOG, the user sees the login page.  After the user 
logs in, the welcome page appears listing the restrictions.  Right now, I 
have a hyperlink that takes the user to new, find, etc.  But I would like 
to take the user right to the logbook and not have to come back to the 
welcome page everytime.  How can I do this?

I have attached the code I have so far.  They are in .txt format for easier 
viewing.

Thanks!

The easiest way is to define two logbooks, with two different password files.
The more restricted logbook contains only those users who are allowed to see the
restricted entries. Use the commands "Move to" to move entries between the two
logbooks (see documentation).

Right now you need an exteral page on a public webserver. This page contains
then links to your elog server. I the next version I will implement the
possibility to server *.html files directly through elog. You can then put your
welcome page under themes/default/Welcome.html, and access it through the
starting link:

http://your.elog.server/logbook/Welcome.html

You will only see the Welcome page once, since all links in elog will point back
to .../logbook/ and not to .../logbook/Welcome.html. The config option "Welcome
page = Welcome.html" you have to remove then of course. 
  673   Wed Aug 18 11:12:56 2004 Question nait tauhnait@no2bl.no-ip.com Linux Admin rights lost after upgrade 2.5.2 to 2.5.4
The upgrade was done by just replacing elogd from 2.5.2 to 2.5.4 from the rpm.

Somehow elogd 2.5.4 treat all users as normal user. When clicking on
"config". All admin users has no "change elogd.cfg" button. Revert back to
2.5.2 OK.

Is there anything I need to change to upgrade other than replaceing elogd?
Clearing the cookies didn't help.

Thanks,
