Blimey! That was quick!

Many thanks for amending this.  You'll be pleased to hear that my IT Operations  
Team think this is the best thing since sliced bread...its going to replace a 
blizzard of spreadsheets.

This problem has been fixed recently. The new code is

   /* special case: "Change %s" */
   if (strstr(orig, "Change ") && strcmp(orig, "Change %s") != 0) {
      sprintf(result, loc("Change %s"), orig + 7);
      return result;
   }

Alternatively you can get the updated version from CVS.

I'm joking! I fixed the bug and updated the elogd server. Please find the new 
version under CVS.

Maybe consider using the options -W -Wall when compiling elogd.
There are several warning messages.

Somehow elog does not use the -s option (subdir) anymore,
resulting in a 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found' error.

For now I am using elog from version 2.3.9 together with elogd v2.5.0,
which seems to work OK.

Around line 2240 (in loc()) in elogd.c the following is written, 
which results in an infinite loop, since loc() recursively with
the same argument "Change %s".

   /* special case: "Change %s" */
   if (strstr(orig, "Change ")) {
      sprintf(result, loc("Change %s"), orig + 7);
      return result;
   }

For now I just commented these lines.

Hi,

First off let me say what an excellent program, simple yet powerful...

I've noticed some erratic behaviour when using "quote marks" in header 
fields.  Basically all text to the right of a " disappears.  Try adding an 
entry with quote marks or replying to this post.

Presume this is a bug.

Keep up the good work

I find this script very nice. Indeed JavaScript can be very powerful to do such 
things. I added some JavaScript support to the elogd server itself. If one opens 
the "New" page like

http://localhost/demo/?cmd=New&js=test.js

then the JavaScript "test.js" (which has to be present in 
themes/default/test.js) gets inserted into the page header and executed. This 
can be used to add custom form validation, which is more powerful than the built 
in checking if required attributes are present.

Then I tried to redo the bookmark script with the new method. A server-side 
script has of course more space than just a bookmark. I started with a bookmark 
like:

javascript:window.open("http://localhost/demo/?cmd=New&js=test.js");

which even works on IE6. The script "test.js" contains:

function a()
{
  var d=opener.document;
  alert("test.js");
  alert(d.location.href);
  alert(d.getSelection());
}

a();

While the first alert() works, the others fail. It seems like the "opener" 
method does not correctly dereference the right window. If anybody has some 
idea, please let me know.

The new version of elogd which supports the "js=" command can be found here:
