think I figured it out- had to make explict most of the default settings: resource, logbook, url, theme, css and so on.

so this is done.


I'm not satisfied with this solution, I rather would like to fix the problem at the source. So can you remove the explicit directory settings, then stip down the config file to the bare minimum where the problem happens, then send me this file so that I can reproduced it. Do yo use SSL, stunnel or a proxy?

I (hopefully) fixed that bug. The fix will be included in 2.6.0-beta4.

I tried with your config file and it worked fine. So can you tell me:

  • At what URL do you access your logbook? Do you just type http://localhost:8080 or anything else
  • Do you use any proxy or stunnel?
  • What is the URL in your browser showing on the first and second login?

You might want to consider to put a
URL = http://<your host>:8080/
into your config file.

That's how it is supposed to be. I tried your config file, added three entries, and got the behaviour documented in the attached images. To me everything looks fine.

This is the BASE64 encoding of the subject. It was discussed here and I implemented it according to RFC2047. All subjects I receive look fine in Outlook and Thunderbird, but not under Pine, which apparently does not implement the RFC correctly. One could of course put a switch into elog to encode it or not. But as soon as you want to send some non-ASCII characters (like the Norwegian as described in the thread mentioned above) you have a problem. Maybe you can configure your email client correctly to interprete the encoded subject?

Apparently the pine people think they're implementing it correctly. Indeed the default subject, "[ISO-8859-1] New ELOG entry" appears just fine. The one for membership confirmation, and anything set in Use Email Subject, however, is borked as above. Maybe the pine bug is something that can be worked around with something simple (like spaces after the ISO spec, or something? Some things work just fine, as I said.

Thanks,
Chris.

Hi,

Our elog is going to be taking some large attachments. I've disabled the attachments from going out in the email, but I'd like email recipients to know that the post has attachments associated with it. Is there a mechanism to do this already, or would it be an enhancement? I'm looking for something like:

Email Notify Attachments = 0 | 1 | 2

Where 0 = no notification,
1 = number only,
2 = list

... independent of whether attachments are included with the email itself.

Thanks,
Chris.


I added Email Format = 64 for only attachment names. So you could set Email Format = 111 to get everything except the full attachments.


Thanks for this. Will verify as soon as someone posts to the (now live) logbook.

Chris.

Your questions that you ask me help me out.
What I was doing was typing in the URL was http://pdls:8080 and it took me the pass down log. When I went to login into Elog took me back to the log but the URL read http://pdls.pwfl.com:8080 so when I log in the second time I was to be the edit mode. So I guess I should have typing in the URL http://pdls.pwfl.com:8080.

Thanks again for your help
