Ok that sounds a good idea to me, I will work on that.

No this is not possible. |

Ok, has been fixed. Will come in 2.0.5

The documentation was wrong about that which has been corrected. The proper
file contents should be
<h1>You successfully submitted a message</h1>
<a href="?cmd=Back">Back</a> to the logbook<p>
<a href="?cmd=New">Enter</a> another message
This way one only needs one file for all logbooks. |

That's how it's supposed to be. Once a unique message ID is attached to a
message, it stays there forever. Think of links to message like
http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Forum/68
If you have such a link in a message or as a bookmark in your browser, and
the ID gets changed from 68 to 67, then your link would be off. |

...because it has been fixed in meantime (revision 2.41). I have not made a
new release since I want to fix the elog password submission first. In
meantime, you can get the actual version from

I changed that behaviour, so from 2.0.5 on the command line port setting has
precedence over the configuration file (as it should be). |

Right now it is not possible to easily include pictures into the message
body, but I put it on the wishlist. Of course you can always refer to
external pictures if you submit your text as HTML and put the proper tags
there like this one:
and you can even scale them like
but of course this requires to have that image stored somewhere else. I
will
probably add a feature like
att:name.gif
which will reference a picture from the attachment, and will be converted
to
the full picture name after submitting that message. |
