can you think of any obvious reason why the ELCode would not work in the logbooks I set up?

Ok, I think I found the problem... For some reason the elcode.js file was only in /usr/local/elog/scripts, but it was supposed to be in
/usr/local/elog/themes/default/ as well.
Creating a symlink between the two solved that problem. I can now do most things with the ELCode, but inserting images is still failing. I get this message from the firefox javascript console:
text.value has no properties (line 32 of elcode.js)
Any thoughts?

That's really strange. In the forum (http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum), I have the elcode.js only in /usr/local/elog/scripts, and it works as you can try out yourself. Getting your javascript error might indicate that you have an old version of elcode.js combined with a newer executable of elogd. Try to update it. |

Hi Stefan,
Sorry for the late response, I was away for a few days. Yes, I think that this would make perfect sense, especially if the maximum number of entries was configurable.
Cheers,
Dimitris |
Agree. So I implemented the new config option All display limit. The default is 500. So you can see that at this forum, the All link is not shown any more, since the logbook contains more than 500 entries. The promised performance improvement of the page display will take me some more time, but I will not forget it. |

| Bertram Metz wrote: | Hello,
I'd like to use ELOG like a bug tracking system. I've created an attribute with the name AssignedTo. The attribute type is set to userlist. The value of AssignedTo is set to the full name of the selected user. There is no simple relationship between the full name and the email address on our system. Is it possible to get the email address of a user from the full name?
Attributes = Author, Category, Hardware, Software, Subject, Keywords, Status, AssignedTo
Options Category = Bug Report{1}, Observation{2}, Other{3}
Type AssignedTo = userlist
Show Attributes = Author, Category, Hardware, Software, Subject, Keywords
{1} Show Attributes = Author, Category, Hardware, Software, Subject, Keywords, Status, AssignedTo
Required Attributes = Author, Hardware, Software, Category
Options Status = new, open, confirmed, closed
;the following line does not work, since $AssinedTo contains the full name of the user
Email Category Bug Report = $AssignedTo@company.com
Kind regards,
Bertram |
I implemented the attribute type useremail for you. This can be used like:
Attributes = Author, Catorory, AssignedTo
Type AssignedTo = useremail
Email Category Bug Report = $AssignedTo
You will see only the email address of the people in the list, but since the email address usually contains the name this might be enough. A different system would have been too difficult to implement. The new feature is contained in SVN revision 1754. |

Actually there is one possibility:
Preset Author = $long_name
Required Attributes = Author
This will force the author to be supplied. If one is logged in, the login name will be put into the author field. If
there is guest access, the field will contain "anonymous", so hopefully each guest will change that to the real name... |

| Alan Stone wrote: | I have accidentally created a couple of entries recently. It is pretty easy. I
fill in the header, type in a Subject, and then hit Enter, instead of TAB.
I have turned off the edit option intentionally.
I want to avoid this in the future. Is there a configuration option which would
confirm that the user before submitting an entry without a Body? I know I can require
attributes like Author and Subject. I am not sure I want to require a Body, in case
someone submits an entry with just an attachment (and a Subject).
Thanks, Alan |
Actually the submit/edit behavior is controlled by your browser, not by elog. I do not know any mean of how the HTML code could control this independently of the browser. So you have to get used to it  |

Is this feature not supported by ELOG or did i use the wrong syntax?
Thank you in advance. |

Yes, i did it. But the problem is still there.
I exactly tried 50 times by submit a new entry and got only 3 times passed. 47 another cases i got:
"Error sending Email via "192.168.2.20": 5.5.2 Need Rcpt command".
I run elogd -v and see:
"Email Team EUROPE to Shell execution not enable via -x flag" |
| Steve Jones wrote: |
Well, it looks like you are getting the text "Shell execution not enable via -x flag" put into the EUROPE attribute then the email server is attempting to send email to the email address "Shell execution not enable via -x flag", which is clearly not a valid address thus the "Error sending Email via "192.168.2.20": 5.5.2 Need Rcpt command".
You need to run run "elogd -v -x" then look for the errors. You also might try a more simpler test like "Preset Team EUROPE = = $shell(type C:\EuropeEmailList.txt)" and then see what is returned. It makes it simpler and removes the email error from the equation.

That's a very interesting idea of setting up mailing lists I never thought about. I tried myself and it works fine. Just as Steve says run "elogd -v -x" to see what happens. Also make sure that EuropeEmailList.txt contains only a single line with comma-separated email addresses, just as you would enter them in the config file. |
I tested many times and find out the problem.
The first opening CMD and running "elogd -v -x". It works perfektly.
Close the CMD: It stops to work.
From this time point it never works again even I try to re-open CMD and run "elogd -v -x"
The computer must be rebooted to get it works. (The CMD for running elogd -x must be always opened !!!) |

You probably run two servers in parallel. If you install the standard windows package, an elogd service is created and started. If you open a command window and run elogd manually, you have it running twice, and you never know to which instance your browser connects to. So first start the server with net stop elogd and then open the command window and start elogd manually. |

| Grant Jeffcote | grant@jeffcote.org | Question | Windows | 2.6.2.1723 | Re: Conditional Email Notification by a text file | Stefan, this is a great idea (thanks An).
I can't seem to get this working when Elogd is started as a service though?
Starting elogd (-x) manually works fine and with the -v switch I can see it is operating correctly but obviously the service option is preferred.
The service ("D:\ELOG\elogd.exe" -x -D -c "D:\ELOG\elogd.cfg") is starting correctly using the -x switch (as I use the shell command for other elog options) but it doesn't seem to send the mail.
Is this a 'feature' ;o)
Thx
