I just tried myself and got:



Your ELOG account has been activated on host localhost:8080.

You can access it at http://localhost:8080/Demo/?unm=midas.

To subscribe to any logbook, click on 'Config' in that logbook.



I used following config:

[global]
Port = 8080
Password file = passwd
SMTP host = xxx
Self register = 3
Admin user = stefan
 
[Demo]
Attributes = Type, Subject, Author


So something in your config file must be different. Can you find out what it is?

Hi Stefan, thank you very much for having a look at this :-)



Here is the config file we use. Seems okay to me, but I may be overlooking something.





[global]

port = 8080

SMTP host = localhost

Self register= 0

Display Email recipients = 0

Use Email Subject = [ELOG - $logbook]

Date format = %a %d-%b-%Y %H:%M

Default encoding = 1

Allowed encoding = 1



[MYLOGBOOK]

Theme = default

Comment = My logbook

Password file = passw_mylogbook.pwd

Admin user = admin,user1,user2,user3

Self register= 3

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help

Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, ServerNaam

Preset Author = $long_name

Options Type = Opt01, Opt02, Opt03, Opt04, Opt05

Options Category = Cat01, Cat02, Cat03, Cat04, Cat05, Cat06, Cat07

MOptions ServerNaam = Server01

Preset ServerNaam = Server01

Required Attributes = Author, Type, ServerNaam

Page Title = ELOG - $subject

Reverse sort = 1

Quick filter = Date, Type, ServerNaam

Oops, just a typo. The message Attribute "Date" not allowed should read Attribute "ID" not allowed. Fixed in the current SVN version. 

Just to say that this bug was fixed some time ago - I don't remember when (a senior moment).  
I know because I reported it to Stefan (along with the rest of the universe), as it was appearing 
on this forum when it was running on that particular SVN version. 

If you update to the latest version of elog, all will be fine.

What you need is an entry in the elogd.cfg file:

Manu commands = Back, New, Reply, Find, Config, Logout, Help

As you see, the "Edit" and "Delete" commands are missing here and therefore 
do not get displayed. So you can enter a message with "New", but you cannot 
change it afterwards.

Does this truly disable the edit command or just hide it?

You're right! In some earlier versions, it did disable it, but in 2.2.5 it 
just hides it. I fixed that bug and from 2.3.0 on it will really disable 
that command again, such that if someone enters manually

will produce and error if the command is not in the menu list.
