Robert, this is exactly what we managed to do as well. And it works fine. 
The only issue is that the users from one group can "SEE" the book names 
available to other groups. 

The solution Stephane suggested seems like the only possible right now.

Anyways, thank you for your answers, Robert & Stephane !

I have another tricky question.

Is there a way to simulate an ELOG SUBMIT?

We developed a module which automatically inserts new submits from ELOG 
into an SQL database. The module is in testing phase but we can already 
tell it does the job as it should. 

This allows us to copy ELOG entries into SQL database. But in some cases, 
we would like to transmit data in the other direction too - from SQL into 
ELOG (synchronization).

Now, one way to do that is to create .txt files with entries directly, but 
we find it too risky (file-locking mentioned in a question earlier today 
can be one of the issues). So we're contemplating a possibility that ELOG 
does these inserts for us by processing some simulated SUBMITS.

We're assuming that ON SUBMIT, you generate a POST (or a GET ?) over http 
which is then processed by the ELOGD server. This should be possible to 
simulate in our synchronization application. Are we correct in our 
assumptions?

Have a look at the elog utility which comes in the package. It does exactly 
this. It "simulates" a browser and does a submit directly to elogd. So you 
can either redo the elog code somewhere, or call elog with the proper 
command line parameters to insert logbook entries.

Thank you, Stefan!

Hello

I have upgraded elog from version 2.2.4 to 2.3.6 and then entry "Number
Attachments =" is not being read.  Looking at the changelog, I found that
"Number Attachments" has been removed in favor of "enable attachments".  I
tried looking in the documentation but I can't find a discription of the way
 in which multiple attachments are handled.  Can someone give me a pointer?

Thanks
Kevin

Just upload one attachment at a time by hitting the "Upload" button, your 
message text stays there. Once you are finished, hit "Submit". Sorry, I 
thought this would be obvious, since most providers use this for their mail 
web interface.

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

Thanks

Use Email From = $user_email

we receive in the adress 'my email adress'

how to avoid  the maito: prefix ?
it gives problems when you vwant to reply from outlook
