My logbook kept crashing whenever I tried to reply to an existing entry. I found that the percent sign "%", when used in the subject line, will crash the elogd service when you try to reply to the entry. This appears to only happen with windows installations. I tested this on your Linux logbook and it didn't crash.

Here is the message taken from the Windows event viewer after the crash:
An unhandled win32 exception occurred in elogd.exe [5224].

Thank you for Elog, you have done a good job with it.  It is a great logbook.

I could not reproduce your problem. I tried the very simple config file:

[Demo]
Attributes = Author, Subject

and the problem did not occur (see attachment). Can you try the most recent version (elog280-4.exe) with this simple configuration. Maybe you have a more complicated configuration which causes the problem. In that case please send it to me, so that I can reproduce the problem.

 Thank you Stefan for your help on this. I am using version 2.8.0 built Aug 2, 2010 rev 2312. I tried your configuration file and the problem did not occur. Using my config file the elogd crashes using the % sign in the subject when replying to the entry. So the problem is something in my config file. After checking through my config file and remming out individual lines and testing, I found that the following statement is causing the problem:

Preset on reply subject = Re: $Subject

I was using this to put the "Re:" on the replies.

The only problem now is I don't get the "Re:" in the subject on replies. Am I doing something wrong to cause this? My config file is attached.

Thanks,
Mike

Is it possible to automatically go back to the list view in summary mode after submitting a new message instead of displaying the new message?

I know it's possible to display a page from a file after submitting a new message  by using "Submit Page = <file>". 
It would be nice to be able to use a command like "Submit Page = <command>" where I could insert "?cmd=Back" as in the "Start page" command.

Thanks,

Mike

I just implemented a new flag "List after submit = 1" which does exactly this. It brings you to the summary page after the submission of a new entry. I needed the function myself. The change is SVN revision 2327 and will be contained in the next release. 

 Sorry so long getting back to you, Stefan. Just wanted to say "thank you". This new function works great!

I expanded an elog server from 1 to 3 logbooks. For each logbook there is a separate password file defined. 

When I try to add a new user in one of the 2 new logbooks using config => new user, it adds the user to the password file for the original logbook.

Have verified that access to the logbooks is controlled via the separate password files. If it would help to provide an example of the elogd.cfg or if I need to clarify further, let me know. 

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks. Mark.

Hi All,

I am using elog to track technical changes in an experiment but also to log what experimentalist are doing during an experiment. For the latter, I would like to be able to lock those entries from being further edited after the expertiment if finished. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,
