My elog has this config for the author:

Option Author = Filled In Automatically
Preset Author = $Long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

This works as intended: when you submit a new entry, the author name is filled in automatically and cannot be changed.

However, when Alice wants to post a reply to an entry the Bruce has made, the preset author name does not say Alice, it says Bruce. I haven't been able to find out how to change this (other than make the author name editable). Even when Author isn't configured as as locked attribute, it still displays the original author's name.

How can I get this to work like I want/need to?

Of course :-)

Thank you Andreas

You were so close: boolean has the two values "0" (unchecked) and "1" (checked).

 Attributes = Bruger, Station, Emne, Status, PM5
 Options PM5 = boolean
 Email PM5 1 = fj@tvis.net

That does work, I've tested it.

I still don't have a solution to the above, but this works:

Attributes = Bruger, Station, Emne, Status, PM5
ROptions PM5 = Ja
Email PM5 Ja = th@tvis.net, fj@tvis.net

Hello Elog forum

Is it possible to email boolean statements, like if a checkbox is checked to email certain people?

My Configuration looks like this but dosn't work:

Attributes = Bruger, Station, Emne, Status, PM5
Options PM5 = boolean
Email PM5 = fj@tvis.net

Kind Regards

This is a local issue  on your network, if you have a mail server setup. SMTP is not handled directly by Elog and neither is any other mail protocal. Elog just sends the requested email to your server for processing to the recipients afaict. And whatever server (or service) you use to handle email sending needs to be able to accept them from your mail server. So after verifying which ones  you want to use; (like OutLook, or gmail, or whatever), then have your local email server set up to work with them. You can prol have a 3rd party do this was well (instead of your own local one) but then they would STILL need to be able to work with whatever guidlines the actual sender (gmail, hotmail..) requires to have mail sent. Email is a lonnng trail of different providers, servers, and other actors..

Hi Stefan,

Thank you very much for your reply. So which SMTP type can I use now? Is outlook OK?
