Yes, I agree that cleaning up old Draft entries and correcting/deleting old entries is a job for the administrator. Currently I do what you've said: commenting out "restrict edit time", changing the entry, commenting in "restrict edit time".

There are already some commands specifically for the admin:

• Admin textarea = <cols>,<rows>
• Admin user = <user list>

It would make sense to add more of them, for this specific case:

• Admin restrict edit time = <hours>

If that is set to "-1", then the Admin can edit old entries regardless of their age. Actually there is no option to "unset" restrict edit time inherited from a global config: a negative time would make sense as "disabling" restrict edit time.

Another item for the endless wishlist ;-)

So as promised, I add some more information. 

Unfortunately changing the port where the server is listening did not make any change. The situation is still the same. If I try directly from the server, I get a warning about the fake certificate and if I do it from elsewhere, I get the error that the server is not running SSL. 

I had a look at the source code of elog.c and found the point where the error is produced. in order to produce this message, the ssl_connect should be returning -1 and this is only possible in two cases: 

So, in the first case, it means that the SSL connection failed completly. In the second case, the peer certificate is invalid. 

Is it possible to discriminate between the two, for example changing the return value? Unfortunately I don't have a windows computer with development tools. So it would be great if you could prepare an executable for me with this small change. 

Thanks in advance for your help,

cheers,

Hi all,

When I tried to set SMTP server of Gmail in the global configuration file, I get the message "Error sending Email via <i>"smtp.gmail.com"</i>: Cannot connect to server" after I tried to receive the Email notification. Is there anyone gives help to solve this issue?

Thanks!

Kevin

Gmail uses a type of SMTP authentication which is currently not supported by elog. It's however on the todo list.

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Thank you very much for your reply. So which SMTP type can I use now? Is outlook OK?

Kevin

This is a local issue  on your network, if you have a mail server setup. SMTP is not handled directly by Elog and neither is any other mail protocal. Elog just sends the requested email to your server for processing to the recipients afaict. And whatever server (or service) you use to handle email sending needs to be able to accept them from your mail server. So after verifying which ones  you want to use; (like OutLook, or gmail, or whatever), then have your local email server set up to work with them. You can prol have a 3rd party do this was well (instead of your own local one) but then they would STILL need to be able to work with whatever guidlines the actual sender (gmail, hotmail..) requires to have mail sent. Email is a lonnng trail of different providers, servers, and other actors..

Hello Elog forum

Is it possible to email boolean statements, like if a checkbox is checked to email certain people?

My Configuration looks like this but dosn't work:

Attributes = Bruger, Station, Emne, Status, PM5
Options PM5 = boolean
Email PM5 = fj@tvis.net

Kind Regards

Finn

I still don't have a solution to the above, but this works:

Attributes = Bruger, Station, Emne, Status, PM5
ROptions PM5 = Ja
Email PM5 Ja = th@tvis.net, fj@tvis.net

Kind Regards
