ah yes, that was a helpful clue. Our elogd.cfg file led me to a .js file which redefines the ID to the elog:SequencerEvents/XXXXX format and it indeed had a silly hard coded length of that string.

Since I am pretty sure this is our code, I think it is safe to say that this is not a bug in the elog

Well, in my example the ID link worked just fine.

There could be a string length limitation, but it could be as well the way you are creating the ID that is the source of the problem: I would need the part of your elogd.cfg that defines how you format your ID in order to try to reproduce your problem.

Hi Andreas, I'm working on the same experiment as Joseph who submitted the bug report.

You are right, IDs greater than 10^5 are created no problem. The issue is with the internal elog link, in this case of the form elog:SequencerEvents/XXXXX  The link generated uses only the first 5 digits of the message ID, and therefore links to the wrong message. In the two attachments you can see our sequencer event number 100098, first displaying the message where all of the ID is displayed and secondly in "full" view of the elog front page. Here, the "ID" column contains a link with the string: elog:SequencerEvents/10009. Our problem is that we often use this string to paste into other elogs and generate a link to the sequencer event message. However, since the string uses too few digits, we end up with a link to the wrong message

I can easily create IDs greater than 100'000 (see attached picture), but that is not your problem, or is it?

Cheers, Andreas

As Andreas said we have to reproduce the problem. What is special in your case is the elog:SequencerEvents/XXXXX. This is non-standard and must be created through your configuration of elog or by an external script. I just guess that you have something like

Preset ID = elog:SequencerEvents/#####

which causes elog to preset the ID with the above string. Can it be that you just put five hashmarks in the preset?

SMTP host = ...

MUST be set in the [global] section of your configuration - it will likely not work when you try to set it for a specific logbook.

I don't see how ELOG can send an automatic email after a date expired.

But you could set-up a script that checks for expired entries, and if there are any it'll send out an email. You can use any http connection to do the query using the find command (e.g. curl).
To get the right URL, just make the find from the web form and copy the URL that gives you the desired result.
Hope that helps.

I have to use ELOG as ticket system, is it possible to send an email automatically after expiration of a period?

as written in the documentation!

Automatic email after expiration is not possible.
