Ok, I implemented "Subst on edit", it will be contained in Version 2.3.1 
which is supposed to come out next week.

I could not reproduce this problem. Can you send me the exact URL (the 
address with all the parameters from your browser's address bar like 
http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Forum/?npp=57...) and tell me exactly under 
which browser this happens?

Stefan,

When will you have 2.3.1 out? I just upgraded to 2.3.0 and would like to see
the links in my summary view. If it is going to be out soon I will wait
instead of compiling from source.

Thanks for great software,
k.

2.3.1 will come out next week, since this week I'm at home. But you always 
can get the sources from CVS (see below).

I noticed the site has been updated as far as the documentation for 2.3.1, 
however the latest version in the downloads section is 2.3.0, any other 
places where I can get 2.3.1

Cheers

Patience, patience! 2.3.1 is currently kind of in "beta" version, but will be 
released this week. Not that you can always get the latest snapshot from the 
CVS tree at

Is is possible to postdate the Entry Date for an entry?

The documentation lists the ability to forward date an entry, but I don't 
see any ability to backdate an entry (edit the date to a date in the past).

Given that the entry date is part of the logbook entry file structure, it 
wasn't obvious how to make this change.

thanks

Stefan, 
We are interested in using your ELOG (which we consider to be a wonderful 
application) even more. We would like to make a few adaptations in your 
source code, above all to add some functionality that we are missing.

I was wondering if there is a way we could coordinate the development 
together. For instance, would it be of your interest to receive the code 
adaptations we do and implement it in your future releases? 

To be more specific, for the moment we are really interested in 
implementing the SHELL script execution on the server (I noticed it is in 
your wishlist).

Best regards,

Tomas Rudolf
