You specify what is sent by email notification with the Email format = <n> option. Adding the right numbers there, you can send only the notification, but not the contents or attachments. An alternative is to use the RSS functionality in Elog. With an RSS reader, you only see the subject, and can download the whole body upon request.

I set up a new attribute called: Author Icon and then tried using conditional attributes to have an icon set to a specific user. When I tested by posting, in the Author Icon section I didn't have an icon, instead a text box appeared with the name of the icon. |
No, this is not possible without modification of elog. In principle you can tell elog that a certain attribute is an icon by using the "Ioptions author icon = icon1.gif, icon2.gif"), but then you get a list if possible icons each time from which you have to select. Not very convenient. The concept of an Avatar is not preent in elog, you bette choose a bulletin board system for that. |

An example would be to add a slash before the emoticon code like this: /:)
Thanks,

There are two ways:
a) put a "\" in front of the emoticon like this: \:) -> :)
b) put a [code] tag around your text. Any text inside the [code] tag is not interpretet like:
[code]Hello ;) [I]italics[/i] [/code]
note that the trick with the "\" only works in the current CVS version of elog. |

Re: Post appearing twice, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Oct 5 13:22:08 2005

Both posts contain the same ID number, time, etc. This most often occurs when the e-log entry is being written for an extended period of time (ie. more than 30 minutes), but I don't know if that is the root cause of the problem. It may also be related to posts that are edited after an initial posting. Could this be due to an improper setting in our config file? |
Besides the trivial case that people hit the submit button twice I can only imagine one possible cause: If you edit an existing entry, there is a button Resubmit as new entry at the bottom. If that button is checked, the old entry gets deleted and a new one gets submitted. If the delete of the old entry fails for some reason, you could maybe get two entries.
May I suggest following: Use a very simple config file (like the demo one from the distribution) and see if you can reproduce the problem. If not, add you config options one by one to the config file, and see at which option the problem starts. This way you might find the cause of it.
Your problem has not been reported by anybody else so far, so chances are high that it's related to a config setting. |

Hi, Stefan,
I cannot checkout due to the following error:
------------
$ svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch:/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/elog/trunk elog
ssh: savannah.psi.ch:: Name or service not known
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly
------------
It seems that my PC cannot find the host savannah.psi.ch within CIAE. Maybe it's the problem of our DNS server. Anyway, what is the IP of savannah? |
