When I make a new entry I get an email with 

   subject: New ELOG entry

But when I or someone else changes an entry I also get an email with a 

   subject: New ELOG entry

I would prefer to see "Changed" , "Edited", or "Updated". This is beyond my 
programming capabilities so I enter this request.

I noticed a long url got hard-wrapped when I entered a long one, I patched 
the source code. I don't know if this was done intentionally, otherwise you 
might want to change this also.

diff elogd.c elogd.c.org 
4468c4468
<     rsprintf("<textarea rows=20 cols=%d wrap=soft name=Text>", width);
---
>     rsprintf("<textarea rows=20 cols=%d wrap=hard name=Text>", width);

BTW, why is the editor window 20 rows by 76 columns ?
(20 is fixed in the source code, but 76 is the width-variable that is set 
hard to:

  /* set textarea width */
  width = 76;

Now I don't like both parameters. 20 is too long for my display (1024x768) 
and 76 is too short. Something dynamically would be cool, but a parameter 
somewhere in a config file would also be acceptable. (just a thought, makes 
it easier to upgrade)

if you have a site that requires authentication to the smtp server, how do 
you specify this info in elog???

thanks,

Hello,
I am running Elog V2.1.3 on Solaris 8 and I was very pleased about this 
tool.But now I have a problem: Sometimes it takes a lot of time submitting 
an entry into a logbook, up to 3 minutes. This behaviour does only occur 
sometimes. Did anyone of You experience something like this?

I modified the elog program such that the attachment buffer is dynamically 
allocated which means that it works with any size. Please find the updated 
version at

http://midas.psi.ch/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/elog/elog.c?rev=1.10

Note that for attachments larger than ~2MB, one hase to increase the 
WEB_BUFFER_SIZE in elogd.c.

Hi,

I am having trouble modifying the elog client to allow larger attachment.  I
have elogd configure for attchment sizes of 10Meg and I would like the
option to be able to use the elog client.  Can anyone give me key points as
to how to go about doing this?  I have tried but I must be missing something.

Also, as a suggestion, it might make sense to add a MAX_ATTACHMENT_SIZE def
in a common header file.

Thanks
Kevin

Since the way ELOG works has changed in version 2.2.0 (show message list as 
default view), the configuration file elgod.cfg for this site became 
slightly simpler. The usual "Start page = ?cmd=Search" is not necessary any 
more due to the changed default view. The commands displaying the last x or 
last x days of messages are still working, but depreciated, since the "Show 
last xxx" facility takes care of that. The default menu commands have been 
change which reflect the modified default view. The single elog page now 
has a "back" link instead the find result page.

Here is the updated version:
