When an entry is submitted with an required attribute missing one gets to 
the resubmit page. When you the click your browsers back button all 
previously filled attribute field are blank.

Is there a workaround to get the old text back?

used versions:
Elog 2.0.5
Netscape 4.76

Best regards,

Hello,

Is there a possibility to prevent elog to overwrite attribute values when 
editing an old message? The old values are overwriten with the preset 
options for that attribute. 
But sometimes you will preserve attribute text and /or options from the old 
message.

Thank you for your help. Regards,

Stefan

Ok, but is there a possibility to preserve the fields of the old message, but 
still be able to edit it. This would be a nice feature in the case of an entry 
with lots of attributes (set to something different then the preset values). 
After submiting the message you realize : one option was wrong and now you 
want to edit it without changing the other options again.
Is this possible?

Thank you and best regards,

Stefan

When logging in with a username and password; then trying to logout or 
change password one gets the following message:

Error: Parameter value too big. Please increase VALUE_SIZE and recompile 
elogd ; Please use your browser's back button to go back 

(up to now I have not yet tried to recompile - may be it works then)

Hi, 

changed the VALUE_SIZE from 256 to 512. That seems to fix the problem.

Hi ,

currently I am running Elog 2.1.1; when using a konqueror browser (ver. 
2.2.1, kde 2.2.1) the admin user cannot access in the Config menu the Login 
infos for other users except himself. The pulldown menu "Select user" is 
shown, but when the admin selects another user the info fields (Login name, 
full name, email) are not updated. They still show the attribute values for 
the admin user himself.

Is there a solution available?
Thanks (also for this very useful tool) and regards,

Stefan

Hi,

Elogd v. 2.1.2:

When trying to acces a password protected Log (global password file) with a 
non existing username one gets the response : cannot open file : <pw 
filename>

Better would be a message like: wrong user or password!

Regards,

Stefan
