I observed that there is a difference between IE and others browsers.
When I use "insert image" button in Netscape, for instance,
it creates automatically a tag like
[IMG]elog:1/1[/IMG]
and
includes an attachment in the ELOG entry.

When a try to do the same action in Internet Explorer, only
the attachment is created without the tag
[IMG]elog:1/1[/IMG]
.


This is a problem of the JavaScript implementation of Internet Explorer. After some externsive research I found now a way to convince IE to do the right thing. The fix is contains in SVN revision 1701 and will be released with 2.6.2-2 soon.

Tim Fowler wrote:
I have elog setup to send emails based on the priority of one of the attributes. When a new entry is created, the emails are sent successfully, however if the entry is edited or if you changed the attribute, elogd.exe will crash with a memory access error.

I have tried this and received the same results on different computers and different versions on Elog down to versions 2/6.0 beta 5. (it works correctly in that version).

The attribute in question is setup something like below:

Attributes = Ticket #, Site, Shift, Type, Area, System Name, Description, Priority, Status, Total Down Time, Last Revision

...(omitted config)

Options Priority = High, Medium, Low

...(omitted config)

Use Email Subject = $Site -- $System Name $Description
Use Email From = testuser@myexample.com

;Send email if priority is set to high
Email Priority High = testuser2@myexample.com

Display Email recipients = 1
Email Format = 14


This problem has now been fixed in version 2.6.2.

Hi Stefan,

I've been trying to use the astonished icon, but the preview or entry
display shows only a broken image.

I found in the elogd.c at line 5556 :
{"8o", "<img src=\"%sicons/eek.png\">"}

I copied the "astonished.png" to "eek.png" and it worked.

Is it the reason of the problem ? ?)


Actually the C code should be "astonished.png" instead of "eek.png". I changed that in revision 1704. BTW, thanks for the Brazilian translation. Astonished

As you can see, I have implemented a temporary fix in the way of allowing only certain hosts access. But where does this Internal error come from.


I only can identify this error if you send me your current ("de-sensified") elogd.cfg.


I have just installed the svn version of elog, and the problem has been fixed.

Thank you very much!

Hello everybody

This weekend I found that if I duplicate a reply it does not become a reply it self.
Is this on purpouse?
I have been through the source a little (not much time for that) and I can not find a reason where the "in reply to" value is dropped.

Could anyone give me an pointer?


This is on purpuse. The Duplicate functionality is ment to "clone" an existing entry, to save some typing work if an existing entry contains most of what one wants in a new entry. If one duplicates a reply, it is detached from the original thread, so there is not entry to attach the duplicate to. I guess you want to make a new reply to an existing entry, and then have another existing reply as a template for that, but this is not possible. If I would not drop the "in reply to" value, the duplicate would point to the wrong entry.

My users have complained about the multiple "I'm away from xxx until xxx" automated replies that they get when they post an entry and notifications are sent with their email in the "From" field.


Yes, I had the same problem with this forum.

Is there a way to override that default and always use the setting of the option Use Email From?


Sure. You override the default by setting the Use Email From. In the forum I set it now to Use Email From = noreply@psi.ch which is a nonexisting address. While now this is ok, our former email server did not accept this because the user noreply does not exist at our institute. So you have to figure out if this works at CERN.

Thanks, Stefan! I misunderstood the documentation, thinking that the Use Email From option value was only used if the user submitting the entry had not registered an e-mail address when creating his/her elog account. This works fine. Smile
