The "-d" option is certainly wrong. This is only used when running elog under Apache. But otherwise it should work. I 
tried it myself and it went fine. Try to add a "-v" flag to see verbose output.

Is there any way I can limit the ammount of characters in the Subject line?

Thank you,

 Use the

Format Subject = ...

option as described in the manual. The last parameter is the "maximum number of characters allowed".

Hello,

please could you help me.

The Restrict edit funktion is not working. Because my user Dirk is able to edit/delete the text from user Peter:

 via select and edit.

Delete the - keep original text here - and then submit.

The whole text disappeared from the user Peter

I have tried both Restrict edit = 0 and then Restrict edit = 1 

Please note my config:

[global]
port = 80
Password file = C:\Program Files\ELOG\test.txt
Admin user = admin3
Self register = 1
Login expiration = 0

[demo]
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
Login user = Peter, Dirk, Kervin, Frank, MichaelH
Password file = C:\Program Files\ELOG\user.txt
Self register = 1
Login expiration = 0
Restrict edit = 0

Thanks

Hi Stephan,

How can I delete / hide the Elog Icon

and Labels like ELOG V2.7.5-2175 ?

Thanks,

Michael

 Sorry,

found it:

Bottom text = <center>Hello</center>
Bottom text login = <center>Login Hello</center>

First, you need "Restrict edit = 1" in your config file. Then for each edit operation the system checks the currently logged in user against the "Author" attribute. Therefore, the "Author" attribute must contain the full user name. This can be achieved by adding

Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

as described in the manual.
