I have my site running under apache. I don't have a /elog/ directory.

for example most would do http://www.example.com/elog/ to visit elog

but my site loads at http://www.example.com/

The site is private so it's password protected. Everything works fine except

if I click the "Forgot Password" link it does nothing.

but if I go to one of the log books...

http://www.example.com/open/

The forgot password link works.

Is there anyway to fix this? I have nothing else running on the server, it's dedicated to only ELOG.

That's why I don't want to have it running under /elog/ in the url.

• I can visit remote elog service through IP and port, but cannot submit entry and cannot open the config page remotely. For example, my powerbook's name is "exaos-pb-12" and its IP is 10.10.2.96. I run elogd on my PB and try to access it through URL http://10.10.2.96:8080/ on host 10.10.2.99. While I submit a new entry or open the config page, my firefox alway blames: "exaos-pb-12.local could not be found. Please check the name and try again."
  
• Sometimes, all the images, colors are missing. It looks like that my firefox cannot find the correct URL of these images or CSS files. It might be the same problem of "cannot find hostname".
  

Hello, the "drop attachments here..." feature is very useful, especially when I have multiple files. I can drag them all over in one operation, however I have noticed that this feature only works well in the IE browser.

It does not work reliably in Safari/Chrome/Firefox. I have tired in both 3.1.3 and 3.1.2. I also have the same symptom on the Demo log book of this site.

Please advise. Thank you for the continued development of Elog.

Hi,

"Default encoding" appears to have the default value of 2 (HTML) instead of 0 (ELCode) as documented in http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html

Hello.

Please look at the entry 66525 of this forum (just 5 thread before this one):

 ->  chain.crt, posted by Gerhard Schneider on Thu Sep 3 21:55:52 2009         (66525)
  |->    Re: chain.crt, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Sep 4 08:33:16 2009       (66526)
  |->    Re: chain.crt, posted by Gerhard Schneider on Wed Oct 7 07:56:52 2009 (66556)

When you collapse the thread, it is collapsed to the 66526 instead of the 66556 (more recent)

  +      Re: chain.crt, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Sep 4 08:33:16 2009  

I guess it is because both 66526 and 66556 replies to the first entry. 
I have the same problem with Elog v2.7.7-2246 and Windows. 

In general, it seems to work well only if you always reply to the last entry of a thread.

  Thank you.


b.t.w. : is there any tip to always force reply to the last entry of a thread?

Dear all,

Is it possible to have a dynamic "preset text" option without remplace text if it has changed?

I would like to switch the template file depending on the attribute value (Type). 

If user already started editing the text body, on change (Type) he could lose this data. 

I'm using this example code :
Attributes = Type, Subject
Options Type = One{1}, Two{2}, Three{3}
Show text = 0

{1} Preset text = text1
{2} Preset text = text2
{3} Preset text = text3
{1,2,3} Show text = 1

I the attribute type change the user lost the data, because the text has been replaced.

Any idea about how to solve it?

Thanks!
Cheers

Here are some things for your wish list:                                        
                                                                                
1) elogd should report quota or disk-full problem:  In case a logbook           
   entry cannot be saved (quota or disk full) then a message like               
   'Could not save last entry.  Please contact administrator.' should           
   be displayed.  Currently nothing happens.  Only the submitted                
   entries 'vanish'.                                                            
                                                                                
2) default page view per user, i.e. the 'Back' link goes to                     
   ?mode=Full,summary,... depending on the user that is logged in.              
   Some users complained that 'Back' is not really back.  Maybe                 
   consider renaming 'Back' to 'Default View' or something.                     
                                                                                
3) (related to 1) the 'Back' link should go back to the last used mode          
   (full, summary, threaded,...) and not to the default mode                    
                                                                                
4) mark messages as unread/read on a per user basis: The                        
   implementation of this might be quite involved but it would be               
   rather useful.  One way would be to add a default attribute 'Seen            
   by' to each entry, which lists the login names of the users.  Or 
   files LOGIN_NAME.has_seen can be created which contain the entry 
   IDs of the viewed entries for each user.   
                                                                                
5) alignment of attribute table (using <td colspan=2> for multi line            
   stuff): see elog:669 :)                                                      
                                                                                
You can count my vote for:
