I'm happy to include these functions in the source code, please send them 
to me.

Can you please put this perl routine into the "Contributions" section

Same as above.

As I said, put the perl programs into the "Contributions" logbook, send the 
C source code modifications to me.

Good idea, will do so.

we develop some improvement to elog and modify the C source
to adapt some internal improvement.

1. shellonsubmit command : give the possibility to execute external program
from elog by sending specific parameter (user/logbook/message ID)

2. elog log file in xml format : give a better view on what happens with 
users see attachments easy to push the files to excel or sql database.

3. synchronisation to mySql or SQL server through perl routine and the 
shellonsubmit command
this will push any new/edit/delete command in sql server so we keep a full 
historic off all transaction in ELOG

4. sms gateway : from elog entry we send sms message throught internet 
gateway (perl routine)

If somebody has good experience in C and Perl I suggest to contact me to 
improve this wonderfull product
Thank Stephan

other projet : 
we use a logbook from our external phone call

from our telephone connected to RS232 and/or TAPI interface we keep the 
phone number and try to find the name from sql server : if found 
we want to push an automatic entry in elog and fill specific field like 
name/contact/last phone call....


I will ask to Stephan Ritt what's the best way to include our routine in 
his standard source ?

could we create a specific logbook for the wishlist
in elog/contribution may be some parameters for the actual status of the 
project ? 

SQL : 
for our sql link we have a probleme as elog re use id when deleted
we must generate an unique ID for each elog CREATE 
and a version# field automaticly incremented after each update.
This must be implemented in ELOG source.

Exactly this problem has been fixed between 2.3.7 and 2.3.8, so can it be 
that you mixed up these two versions? To be precise, the fix happend in 
Revision 1.113 from 2003/06/04 08:17:35. So are you sure that you use a 
version of elogd after that modification? I tried to reproduce your problem 
with the official 2.3.8 version, but I got the correct result.

Ive just been alerted to a bug with email notifications in Elog.

Basically if your log book contains a space then the URL that is sent in 
emails when creating tickets or updating old entries doesnt put %20 (IEs 
space) inthe URL it leaves a space hense breaking the link.

for example

Correct Way prior to 2.3.8

http://192.168.0.1:99/Provisioning%20Request/35

Broken way with new version

http://192.168.0.1:99/Provisioning Request/35
                                 ^
Link is broken at this point

My config looks like this

Email Status Assigned = $Owner@abc.co.uk
Email Status Re-Assigned = $Owner@abc.co.uk
Email Status Completed = $Requester@abc.co.uk
Email "Send Update Email" Yes = $Requester@abc.co.uk
Use Email Subject = A Provisioning Ticket has been assigned to you or 
completed
Use Email From = NetworkTeam@abc.co.uk

surely not but as I put some new command each time you update elog :)
it's easy for us to put on on webserver
but for each update I ll send the new version

Thank you very much for your request, well motivated and described. I hope I 
will soon find time to impelment this.

Very nice idea, I put it on the wishlist.

Has just been fixed. Available under CVS and soon in 2.3.8.
