I think I would like: Only groups. When you click on a group, a secondary page
shows up showing logs in that group. 

I would also have the option to list all logs so you could see logs that are not
in a group or locate a log where you didn't know what group it was in. I would
also like to have the option to sort logs and groups.

I am using Elog to keep track of application servers. The log names are the server
names and they are grouped by application. The list on the first page is getting
very long.

What would you like to see exactly?

a) Only groups. When you click on a group, you are taken to the first logbook 
in that group

b) Only groups. When you click on a group, a secondary page shows up showing 
a logbook selection page from that group

c) Two colums: First column group, second colum logbook, a bit like a 
directory structure like:

  Demo
    Linux
    Database
  Discussion
    Forum
    Archive
    Config Examples
    Contributions

I would very much like to list groups instead of the individual logs on the
firs page you see after login.

Is there a way to do this? 

Hi,

  We have been using Elog successfully as a shiftlog book for over a month 
now, but I recently ran into an annoying bug, I think.
  We had a thread that was created and was being replied to over several 
days.  We first replied to the original thread and then each subsequent 
reply was a reply of the previous reply.  When the thread reached above 13 
of these, the elogd.exe would crash everytime a user attempted to select 
the logbook that contained the enormous thread.  
  I found the only workaround was to manually delete the offending entry 
from the log file and to instruct my users to not reply to replies unless 
absolutely necessary.  I have been able to replicate this error across the 
rest of my logbooks as well.  If there is any more information you may 
need, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
Chris Jones

Dear Friend!,

Only mistake in your file .cfg is   spell mistake "Passwort" in "Passwort 
file = c:\elog\passwd.txt" line. It should "Password file" t=d. 

try some thing like below,

[Log]
Theme = default
Comment = Financial Accounting Bug posting 
Attributes = Resource, Project Name, Task Desc, SDT, EEDT, ACDT, Percent WC, 
Status 
Options Type = Masters, Transactions, Reports
Options Category = Bug, New Feature, Client Requirement, Change
Required Attributes = Author, Type, Bug
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
Password file =D:\Program Files\ELOG\logpwd.txt
;Self register = 0
Self register = 1

Admin user =sridhar
Menu commands = Back, Login, New, Edit, config, Delete, Reply, Find, Help, 
Logout
Guest user commands = config, admin, Login, logout

I got elog 2.3.9 running on FreeBSD 5.1 successfully,
I compiled elog on a redhat box and then just copied over all the files to 
the FreeBSD box and ELOG just ran with no issues.
It's been running under heavy use for at least a month now.

PS: you might need the linux compatibility package installed on BSD though...

Unfortunately I don't have access to a FreeBSD box so I cannot try. But I 
thought the GNU make is the same on Linux and FreeBSD??? 

Has anybody successful compiled under FreeBSD?
