icon5.gif   Email format flags, posted by Elaine Cristina Franchini dos Anjos on Tue Nov 22 20:22:04 2005 
I've been tried to format our email notification messages
like this forum, but I couldn't.

Every email notification is sent in plain text although I've tried
all options listed in documentation about Email Format flags. Crying

What is the Email Format flag that I need to use ?
Is there something else that I have to configure ? ?)

Regards,

Elaine

The email notification is under revision right now, that's why 2.6.0 is still in beta. It will change again before the final release. I want to make a multipart/alternative encoding, where plain text and HTML are sent in the same email, and the user can select on the email client which part to view.

In the 2.6.0-beta5, you can select the eamil format with

Email encoding = 4

which then produces the same notifications as the forum.
icon1.gif   Upgrade from 2.3.8 to 2.6.0 logbook problem, posted by Jesse Wodin on Sat Dec 3 23:32:13 2005 
Hi, I'd like to upgrade from an old version of elog 2.3.8 to 2.6.0. I installed the new version, and it runs fine, but it doesn't seem to see my old logbooks (the path in the conf file is correct). Do I have to upgrade my logbooks somehow?

THanks!

Jesse

No. The last change in the logbook format was for version 2.0.0. So something else must be wrong. Just creat one entry with your new elog, and see where it's created on the hard disk. Put your old logbooks there. If you start elogd manually with the "-v" flag, you will see it indexing all logbooks. Check that you see all your entries there.

Thanks, you were right, it was just a permissions problem on the logbooks, which I had copied over as root.

icon5.gif   duplicate & presets, posted by Willem Koster on Mon Dec 12 15:17:39 2005 
I'm (mis)using elog as a database. I like the fact that I can have presets for fields, but I also like the fact 
that I can make a duplicate of an entry. Now when I make a duplicate, all the fields get overwritten with the 
preset-value. Is there a way to get the preset-values only on entering a NEW reord and NOT on a duplicate ?

I could take away the presets, most of them are "***" (literally) to be able to search for entries that do not 
have a value, but I don't know how to search for empty fields.


PS: They wanted to do a CMDB in BMC-Magic (really expensive $$$-ware), but after about 1 afternoon (and about 6 
prototypes) they went with elog since it was fast, cheap and already implemented (and filled with 200 entries 
through a script using some old CSV list we had lying around) :-)

I fixed that in the SVN revision 1583. The fix will be contained in the upcoming version 2.6.1.
icon5.gif   Compile on Windows?, posted by Mike on Wed Dec 21 23:52:27 2005 
What version of Visual Studio do you use for compile Elog on windows.

I have downloaded the Tar from svn and am having some errors, but then I've go VS.Net 2003. I wondering if this was done with 6.0?

thanks
