When I try to set

Protect Selection page = 1

in the config file elog crashes. Attached is my config file.

elog 2.7.5 built Apr  8 2009, 16:52:07 revision 130

Initially I thought you had to specify a port number after localhost for emailing.

As it turns out just putting "localhost" as the email server in the elog config

file works just fine. We have a strange problem where our elog server is running.

our outgoing mail has to be routed through port 465 and SSL. I had to set up

postfix and stunnel to handle this arrangement.

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.

Here's the issue. We use elog to develope products we need to be able to see all the thumbnail images in a

particular logbook. Our default view is to use the threaded view fully expanded in order to have all the thumbnails

be displayed for each product. This works fine but when we move one message to another logbook the thumbnails

end up getting broken and won't be displayed. The only way to fix this is to remove the image and re-upload the

picture after the message is moved. This is not a good option because we have hundrends of items that are

constantly being moved around from logbook to logbook. Any ideas?

EDIT:

On further inspection it seems that when you are moving messages to another log book the image date filename

is re-written which of course breaks the html link to the image.  Is there anyway to supress this so that the filename

stays in tact when it's moved from one book to another. I don't see why the name of an attachment has to get changed

just because something is moved around.

I couldn't find an obvious solution to the problem. I'd like to suppress email

notification to the author of a message. I've had some people complaining

that when they use elog they don't want to get an email about what they wrote

since they wrote it.

Is it possible?

 This is a major improvement. The only issue now is when we embed an image in the body of the message elog makes a nice thumbnail. When you move the message to another logbook the thumbnail doesn't work and instead it shows the MASSIVE full size version of the picture instead. Is that possible to fix?

Thanks Stefan!

Have a few issues here. The big one is that I have some users of our elog books
that are in India, while the server is in USA. When they click on thumbnail images
then press their browser back-button they get a page expired message and are
unable to see what they were looking at before unless they go back to the main
page. Is this an elog problem or something with Apache?

Also when these users in India write messages sometimes we end up with
duplicate messages seconds apart. I'm not sure if they are pressing the submit
button repeatedly or pressing their browser back button. I've suggested they
try not to do that.

Last issue, is there a way to make thumbnail images open in a new window
by default rather then the same window? This would help fix the first issue at
least. Is there some setting to fix the page expiration/time-out issues?

First of all, thanks for writing and maintaining eLog.

I've been using it for a few years, but I'm now introducing it in an environment that may have a lot of "Guest"
accounts.

I'd like to have two "Required Attributes" when a guest enters a new entry; their name and e-mail address. These
fields don't need to be required for registered accounts, since that information is available already.

Is there any way to have conditional statements act on the value of $short_name?

Thanks,

Mark
