icon5.gif   Where can I get more information on the config file, posted by Scott Fenstermacher on Mon Jul 8 22:50:16 2002 
Where can I get more information about the config and themes file. I
downloaded the latest version (2.0.4) and the config file docs seem out of
date. I would like to get the icons working as well as getting the email to
work. The demo page at the elog home site shows both but I cannot find ant
references to the icons.

Oops, I forgot the "IOptions" statement to documentation. Please see the 
updated version at

http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html

look for "IOptions". For the Email notification see the whole 
section "Email 
notification" near the bottom of the page.
icon4.gif   reverse sort and threaded mode does not display first entry, posted by Heiko Scheit on Thu Jul 4 17:05:03 2002 
When the option 'Reverse sort = 1' is used then the first entry
is not displayed (ID=1) when threaded mode is requested.

Probably you can see the problem using this link and switching 
on reverse sort.

Has been fixed in 2.0.4 (as you can see from this entry). Please make sure 
not to submit too long lines via "elog". For browser submissions, the line 
length is limited to 78 characters, but not for "elog" submissions.

The exit status of elog is always 1.  It should be zero for
a successful submission.

icon5.gif   possible to modify link in email notification, posted by Stefan Siegel on Wed Jul 3 18:36:28 2002 
Hello,

I have a question concerning the following situation:

There is a one logbook with two possible acces methods (defined in config 
file) one for readonly access and one for read/write access. Both entries in 
the elogd.cfg file pointing to the same logbook.

When an allowed person enters a logbook entry with an email notification the 
link to the message is given inside the email. 
This link points to the read/write logbook entry.

Is it possible to alter the link in the email notification that it points to 
the corresponding readlonly logbook entry? 

Thank you for hints, best regards,


Stefan Siegel

Having the URL link to a different logbook is right now not possible. But 
what about setting up a single logbook with a write password. Everybody can 
access it for reading, but only these people who know the write password 
can enter messages.
icon5.gif   Options <attribute> = List????, posted by Mo on Mon Jul 1 13:56:12 2002 
Hello,
    Is it possible to have a drop down list with commas in the options.  
For instance, if you want to have a attribute "CityState" you would 
probably want a comma between the City and State name.  Since the Options 
are separated by commas, it turns into two different options.  I dont know 
if there is a way to do this or if this is a bug?

From the next version on *2.0.4), one can specify attributes in quotation 
marks like

Options town = San Francisco, "Paris, Texas", "Paris, France"

which then can include commas.
