This indeed is not possible and you have to use top groups for that.

Hello Stefan,

Tested the 2.6.0-beta4, and it sort of works. config parameter:
Email attributes = Tittel,Status

gives the mail:

Logbook             : work
Tittel              : Test
Status              : Åpen

Logbook URL         : http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/work/904

---

Is there a way to remove Logbook field (and perhaps Logbook URL if I want?)

Best regards
Michael

Something for the wishlist:

A 'Recent Changes'-link (option) that lists entries that were changed
recently, where 'recent' can be changed from 1,2,3...(some maximum)
days.

OK, I've fixed that one with "Expand Selection page = 0"

Two possible solutions:

1. Use ELOG's RSS support (look for "RSS Title" in the config syntax help). I added an RSS icon to each entry with "Bottom Text=<a href="http://myserver:8080/mylogbook/elog.rdf"><img border=0 height="14" width="36" src="/Rssicon_3614.gif" alt="[RSS]"></a>

2. Add a new attribute "Revised" and config it as follows: "Locked attributes = Revised" and "Subst on Edit Revised = $date". It'll get updated each time the entry gets updated. Then all you just need to create a link to "http://yourserver:8080/yourlogbook/page?mode=summary&rsort=Revised"

Best regards, Ralph.

But i found a bug or something like that. I installed elog on win2003 and winxp with default settings. And everywhere i had same problem - when forgot password is used it kills elogd. Error what is reported in EventLog is "Faulting application elogd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module elogd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0002f1ee." and thats all. For testing tried newest beta too but it seems to have same problem.
i can insert my email address and when i click submit it wait's for some time and then gives 404.
But tried under linux (gentoo) and everything works like charm.


I tried with the current version under XP and found no problem. Can you try 2.6.0-beta4?

well, here's the problem that i had: my charset (koi8-u) was specified in elog.conf for every logbook, but this had no effect, and all elog pages continued tu appeared as iso-8859-1 (which is the default) when i specified charset in the global section, the problem's gone away.

2do: i think it's worth testing how does it work whet charset specified for a separate logbook overrides globally specidied charset

elog version that is in use: 2.5.7 from debian sarge 3.1 r0a powerpc


The documentation clearly states that the "charset" option is under the [global] section. I put it there since it does not make much sense to have separate charsets for separate logbooks. Or do you have one Russian, one Japanese and one Swedish logbook on the same server? Maybe for an international language school Wink

I can easily put it into the individual logbook's config, but only if more than one person requests this.

I have SMTP server that requires authentication

Whenever a new user 'self registers' to E-log, I get an automated email saying so. Hence, the SMTP setting are correct and working.

However, for any entry made to log, no email notification is generated. error '5.5.4 Invalid Address'

suppress notification checkbox is 'unchecked'

Kindly help.


Turn on logging with

Logfile = elog.log

then you will see all communication betwen elogd and the SMTP server in the logfile. You probably will see the source of the error there.
