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.

We have a number of weblogs where we regular archive off 'completed' entries to a separate archive weblog:

Is it possible to retain the original ELOG id when moving an entry to an archive weblog, or have a locked field which holds the original id which we could subsequently reference in the archive?


First of all, a reference to the original ELOG entry would not help if it's moved into another logbook (archive). Keeping the id is not possible technically, since it severs as a kind of primary key, which must be unique etc. There is however the possibility to create a "secondary" ID, using the Preset xxx = ### functionality. The attribute xxx will have increasing numbers just like the primary ID. You even can combine this with the current year or month (see documentation). The problem now is how to reference such an entry. You cannot just type elog:123 as this only references the primary ID. You would have to do a "hidden" search such as

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?xxx=###

where ### is your secondary id. This will of course be slower because if you click on such a reference, your whole archive will be searched for.

I an new to elog and the only thing I cannot seem to configure correctly is my SMTP information. Here is a sample of my config file:

SMTP host = checkeranderson.com
SMTP username = Checker@realchecker
SMTP Password = eWFod2Vo

I host my own mail server which uses authentication and my password was set using -t on the command line. With SMTP host = I have tried smtp.checkeranderson.com (which is how my mail program puts it) and mail.checkeranderson.com which is how my DNS server has it. The user name and password are correct. When I edit or reply to any topic I get the message "Error sending Email via "checkeranderson.com"" I have struggled with this for hours and I know I must be missing something that would be obvious to anyone else. Can anyone help me?


Start the ELOG server manually in a DOS box with the "-v" flag, like

> cd \Program Files\ELOG
> elogd.exe -v

(you first might have to stop the elog service via "net stop elogd"). Now you see all communication between the browser and elog and between elog and the SMTP server. If you now try to send an email, you will see the detailed error information returned by your SMTP server.

Email All = $Cc


Substitution was not enabled for email addresses, but I added this for you. It's in SVN revision 1712 if you build elog yourself from the SVN, otherwise it will be contained in the next release.

Great! Thanks very much. And quick too! Any idea when the next release will be available? Is there a mailing list I can sign up to to get notifications?


You are on the mailing list Wink, there is only this list. But you can check out the SVN version as described in the documentation.

Preset on Duplicate Author = $long_name


This was not implemented so far, but is a good idea. So I put it into SVN revision 1713. You either get the SVN update or wait for the next release of ELOG.

Okay, I got it working but I had to change the authentication method of my mail server to Pop before SMTP. I do not know why the username/password doesn't work - it does work with Outlook Express. I would rather use the username/password method, but atleast things are working now.


That's really strange, since elog does not do any pop at all. So "pop before SMTP" won't help. The elogd message log in the previous message seems truncated to me, you should get something like
Email from stefan.ritt@psi.ch to stefan.ritt@psi.ch, SMTP host mail.psi.ch:

In your case there should even be more than that due to the authentication (our sever does not use username authentification). Maybe you have an error there in the authentication.

Conditional attributes have been made working in email notifications sometime in version 2.6.0. You might have to upgrade to the recent version, but then it should work.
