icon1.gif   Installation problems, posted by George B. on Mon Oct 27 13:05:13 2008 
Hello,

I just upgraded to elog 2.7.5 from 2.6.4 on my Debian system. Here is some feedback:

I added a note to the documentation, thank you.

icon13.gif   Select -> Edit wipes dates, posted by T. Ribbrock on Mon Oct 27 12:42:47 2008 
I just ran into the following bug:
I have a logbook where entries have several attributes, among which several dates. All of these are set to "Type <attr> = date".
If I use the "Select" action, tag several entries and subsequently chose "Edit", the values of all date attributes are wiped. All other

I am tring to sort  the attribute, subject, but it sorts with Z on top and A on the bottom. Is there anyway to reverse sort?

icon5.gif   Export of entries, posted by William De La Vega on Mon Nov 24 18:03:54 2008 
I would like to export several entries out of a logbook I have with a specific subject. 
I need to send these entries to someone who does not have elog nor can they install it.
Is there a way to do this?

Hi
Thanks for elog - it's a brilliant piece of software.  I'd looked all over for open source software to log/manage change requests before discovering
elog; it's so flexible that I've been able to do everything I need with it.

Thanks to your detailed description I could reproduce and fix the problem. Please download SVN revision #2144 and give it a try.

Can you email a thread of log entries. I think this would be a very useful function, which would enable the logger in effect to send an entire history
of a particular issue to the interested parties.

I was wondering if it is possible to have several drop down menus associated with a particular field. My problem is as follows, currently I have
a particular field where its value is a name of a person obtained from a list of names from a drop down menu. However, I would like to be able to select

In this forum there is a quickfilter for text search. How do I get that into my elog?
