I added this possibility to the source code (->CVS), although it's not clear 
to me how this should work for you. If you don't have access to the server 
where elogd is running, how should elogd then redirect you to somewhere else?

Hi, 

I have a question concerning the "Selection page" ELOG.cfg parameter.
I was wondering if it is possible to specify a complete (absolute) URL such 
as http://www.myserver.com/my_elog_menu.htm.

I need this type of configuration because we actually need to have the 
custom selection page sitting on a different server from the one where ELOG 
is run.

Thus far, the only work-around I could think of is to make a reference to a 
local html file which redirects to the http:// resource outside of the 
server.

When tried the absolute path, i got "The requested 
file /usr/local/elog/http://www.myserver.com/my_elog_menu.htm was not found 
on this server" error message. I'm wondering if it's just a bug or if there 
is a reason for it.

Thanx,
Tomas

No, unfortunately not (yet). I'm still working on the problem described in 
elog:309. This "lock" icon only shows you in the logbook selection page which 
logbooks are public and which are protected by passwords (was another 
request).

Can you tell me what the following change in CVS offers

Revision 1.99 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs] , Fri May 2 
10:00:31 2003 UTC (6 days, 2 hours ago) by midas 
Changes since 1.98: +10 -1 lines
Diff to previous 1.98 
Added lock icon for protected logbooks


Does this relate to the request in article 309

and if so is there any flags set to enable it.

Cheers

I added a name tag <A NAME=attx> where x is 1,2,3,... to the attachments 
(->CVS). So you reference them by "/<logbook>/<id>#attx" where x is the 
attachment number, <id> the message ID (the one displayed in the URL if you 
display a single message) and <logbook> is the logbook name.

That won't work, since attachments are preceeded by the date/time, to avoid 
name collisions if two identical file names are submitted several times. You 
see that if you click on an attachment to display only that picture. The URL 
in the browser gives you the full URL including the date/time, which you 
have to use to reference that image. This is of course not possible if you 
are just submitting an entry, since you don't know which exact time the URL 
will get. So you first have to submit the message with the attachment, the 
lookup the attachment URL, then edit the message again and enter the full 
URL. Not very handy, I know, but right now the only way.

I implemented that (->CVS): a <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> is replaced by 
<CR><LF>..<CR><LF> in email notifications. Now I don't know if all browsers 
under all OS's send a <CR><LF> on line break. If some don't, please let me 
know.

No need to say sorry.  It is probably obvious to pretty much everyone.  -- It
the story of my life.
