Fixed in CVS.
icon5.gif   Directories in top groups, posted by Stephen A. Wood on Mon Apr 18 17:02:20 2005 
I am trying to unify several existing logbook collections that run on
seperate servers under a single server using groups.  For a top group, under
"[global topgroupname]", I would like to redefine the resource directory or
the logbook directory so that everything except for the .cfg is at it
original location.  However, it seems like "Resource dir" and "Logbook dir"
can not be redefined in the global section for specific groups.  Is it
possible to redefine these directories for each top group, or is it feature
that could be added?

I could probably do what I want with soft-links, but redefining the resource
dir just seems to be right way to do this.  (For one thing, I would like
different favicons for each group.)

Not easily. There is only a single logbook and resource directory inside elogd.
The reason is that these are constants which can be fixed during compile time.
The Debian package uses this extensively. So having multiple directories would
break that scheme.

I'm afraid you have to use soft links. The favicons you can define however via
the theme, which is a per-logbook option, so it would work in the [global
topgroupname] section as well.
icon5.gif   More questions about groups, posted by Stephen A. Wood on Tue Apr 19 22:43:10 2005 elogd.cfg
I am running 2.5.8-3 with the elogd.c 1.632.  I have attached the config
file that I am using.   I have a top group "src", with logbooks "SRC
Analysis" and "SRC Mail" in it.  These two logbooks share the same password
file.  If one logs into one, I would like them to be not have to login to
the other.  If I put the password file name under [global src], I get this
behaviour, but the logbook selection page does not show my graphic or the
locks by the logbook names (instead it has the Alt text "This logbook
requires authentication."  If I remove the password from [global src] and
put it in each logbook individually, then my logbook selection page looks
OK, but I have to log into each logbook seperately.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it in the current CVS version.

I get my Icons and Graphics in the top group now.  Thanks for fixing it.

When I define 2 attributes, by default and the second one has to be showed

Can you send me the part of your config files with those things so that I can
reproduce it?
