I upgraded to version 2.3.0 the previous version didnt seem to work with 
stylesheets, when you viewed the html source there was no stylesheet defined 
in it.

Please see my other posts for feature requests.

Many Thanks - FANTASTIC program btw

Well, I decided to make all entries in a table a link, to be consistent with 
the threaded display. But I changed the style such that they look like 
before, but are actually links. This way it cannot hurt (like having too 
much underlined text). The style can be changed via classes ".list1" 
and ".list2" in the style sheet.

The modification will come in 2.3.1, or you can get the source code from CVS 
under 

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/elog/src/elogd.c

and

What happened. If you tell your initial problems, I can maybe put something 
into the docs so that others won't have it...

This is on purpose. I have many people registered for the Forum. So when a 
notification is sent, it is not a good idea if everybody sees everybody 
else's mail addresses. Therefor I have 

Omit Email to = 1

in the config file. This way the "To:" field is omitted to "hide" the mail 
recipients from each other. Your mail client realizes that and fills in your 
own address automatically, that's why you only see yourself. Maybe you try 
that option, might help with your previous problem as well.

When you do a find in elog, records per page (some crazy large number - for 
your forum logbook, display 57 entries seem to cause the problem, then 
select last year (1 years worth of logs),(don't select printable)

the results appear way off the screen (the message body looks fine, but the 
title, etc extend way off the screen).

Printable doesn't have this problem.

I just noticed that the notifications I receive from your ELOG system, 
doesn't show anyone in the "TO:" section but myself.  Or is ELOG configured 
to only send myself a message?

Another Question:  Could ELOG be configured to send notifications as a Blind

Hi Stefan,

Many users have there email forward to Blackberry devices.  Although I 
wasn't aware, it appears the Blackberry has a limit (or maybe one was set) 
of how big the message can be (still checking for that though).

Previously, a modification was made that addressed the issue of slow ELOG 
response when saving the elog entry.   I think the change was for ELOG to 
generate one email and send to all the users designated to receive the 
notification.  This caused everyone to show up as "TO" addresses.

This change makes the Email header increase in size (length).  I guess the 
Blackberry counts the Header portion as part of the email size limit.

Any ideas?

Thanks, 
Eric

I think the first option is the better one, having the first columns data in 
the list be linkable for example i am using this to store customer 
configuration and the list needs to be in alphabetical order so it has to be 
the first column but needs to be linkable :)

Would be nice if you can specify which columns data has links as a flag or 
setting of some sorts, as opposed to either the first or all, but given a 
choice I would want the first column to be the linkable one 

My config looks like this

Display search = Customer Name, Account ID, Author, Date, #

I think the better option is first item (being the first column entries) all 
have links to the logbook entries (which is how it was in the previous 
version)
