Just upgraded from stable running 2.5.2-2 to 2.5.9-2 in case of the usable
Duplicate function. After the problem discribed below i made a new, clean
installation again and played araound with the demo logbook, copying my
testlogbook (part of a real used and under 2.5.2-2 working logbook) into the
demo cfg file. 

ia figured out two serious problems:

1. If I copy the following section to the global into the demo lgbook,
elogd.exe crashes emediatly ewhile starting as a prozess:

[global]
Language = German
Theme = default
logbook tabs = 1
main tab = INHALT
welcome title = <b><big>Ulrich Rolf Trüssel</big></b>
Adressverwaltung
(Geschäft & Privat)
Mensch-Tier
Coaching&trade;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;Mensch-Hund
Coaching&trade;
Interessengemeinschaft Familienhund&reg; - Regionalgruppe
Zentralschweiz
Lorenz Tierschule
port = 8080
Theme = default
Message Width = 100
Message Height = 25
Filtered browsing = 1
Suppress default = 2
Suppress Email on Edit = 0
Email Format = 0
Filtered browsing = 1
HTML default = 3
Reverse sort = 1

2. problem (the ting) that made me playing with teh demo cfg:
There are totally 8 logbooks running, but just one has this strange problem
of not giving a link to to the datasets in full and summary mode. I cutted
down all the stuff back to this only lines:

[Adresse2]
Attributes = Kundensegment, Duzis, Hauptadresse, Selektion, Sperre, Adresse,
Unterlagenversand, Empf. gegeben, Gruppe, Mitglied, URT, IGFH, Letzte
Anmeldung, IGFH Gruppe, IGFH JB, Anrede, Titel, Briefanrede, Vorname, Name,
Firma, Abteilung, Adresse Zusatz, Strasse, Landeskennung, PLZ, Ortschaft,
Postfach, Postfach PLZ, Postfach Ort, Telefon Geschäft, Telefon Privat,
Telefax, Telefon Mobil, EMail, HomePage, Funktion, Beruf, Geburtstag, Name
Hund, Rasse, Sex, Wurfdatum, Anmeldung, Impfbüchlein, Welpenkurs,
Erziehungskurs, Hundesport, Bestätigung, OCCH LN, Andere Kurse, Weitere
Hunde/Tiere, Referenzen, KlientIn/KundIn
List Display = Name, Vorname

and got still the same problem. if i create a new logbook it will works,
also ut works under 2.5.2-2 but not longer under 2.5.3 up (even not
2.5.9-2). any idea? mening this may be a VERY basic logbook... trued with
list display etc. around, nothinh happen. Need to go back to 2.5.2-2 where
this wasn't a problem? 

thanjs for any idea of this to problems...

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the prompt answer and sorry for not reading the docs carefully enough.
The "Guest List Display" is of course what I should use. It works perfectly. And
thanks for the fantastic and very useful ELOG package!

Guest List Display = Author, Category, Subject, Text

This problem has finally been identified and fixed. Please download the newest
version 2.5.9-2 which contains this fix.

Hi,

I would like to have the author email addresses listed only for users which
have logged in, but not for guest users. In the elogd.cfg file I have:

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Subject
Guest Display = Author, Category, Subject, Text

But these attributes

  ID Date Author Author Email Category Subject Text

are shown also when visting the logbook as a guest. For the guests I would
like to show only these attributes

  ID Date Author Category Subject Text

Any ideas what I am doing wrong or why this does not work?

Message width = <number of characters>
Message height = <number of lines>

No. 

is there any way to get a larger text box to type in when making a new post?
the default box is rather small and you have to scroll up and down when
making a new post or editing an existing one.

once the post is submitted, the display goes to a larger box, but the text
only takes up the left side of the page. seems the only way to get it to go
all the way to the right is to make everything html and submit it that way.

can the normal text look like the html does without submitting it as html?

Another quick update on this, it looks like the bug was introduced in version
2.5.8-2 built Mar 30 2005, 11:04:33, revision 1.611

version 2.5.8-1 built Mar 21 2005, 17:28:54, revision 1.592 does not exhibit the
behavior.
