Changes in Comment and Elog Index page?, posted by ralphb on Wed Aug 10 11:28:30 2005
|
Just updated to ELOG V2.6.0-beta4 from V2.5.6-2 and I note a couple of changes:
- HTML code inculed in elog.cfg "Comment" lines were previously rendered, now they are not. e.g. "Comment = Some comment
<A href="http://somedomain.com/some.html" target="_top"> Some link text</A>" Is this change deliberate, or is the functionality likely to return? Any workaround?
- The "Several logbooks are defined on this host" elog index page was previously collapsable, now it is not. Same questions as previous.
Thanks & best regards,
Ralph. |

OK, I've fixed that one with "Expand Selection page = 0" |

I had to render the comment, because some people had comments like "PCs > W2k", where the ">" screwed up the HTML code of the page. I added some code now which checks if the comment is real HTML, and reverts back to the old behaviour if it is. The update is in CVS.

People complained about the collapsing (it's really hard to make everybody happy!!!). So the page is expanded by default. If you want the old behaviour, add an
Expand selection page = 0
into your config file |

Thanks very much Stefan.
Our new server has no gcc so I had to compile it on a sister machine, pending the next RPM release.
By the way, your download page needs an extra line:
cvs -d :ext:cvs@midas.psi.ch:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout mxml to have a hope of the make working.
Also, it would be nice if the "Installing and running on UNIX" section of the Administrator's Guide also had a set of "Installation from CVS" instructions.

Ah, but you are doing it so well!
Thanks again.

Omitting some fields in e-mail, posted by Michael Husbyn on Tue Jun 7 10:59:20 2005

Hello,
Is there a way to include some attribute fields in the e-mail from eLog, but not all?
E.g, if you have the following:
Attributes = TA, Endret, UA, Pri, Status, Oppdragsgiver, EpostTil, EpostIKT, Tittel
Then you get the heading:
Logbook :
TA :
Endret :
UA :
Pri :
Status :
Oppdragsgiver :
EpostTil :
EpostIKT :
Tittel :
(removed the attribute data),
But I would like to send out only:
UA :
Pri :
Status :
Oppdragsgiver :
EpostTil :
Tittel :
Any way to do this in the current version?
And perhaps change the order too... I'm asking for much perhaps?
Best regards
Michael |

I added the option "Email attributes = <list>" for that. So you can specify
Email attributes = UA, Pri, Status, Oppdragsgiver, EpostTil, Tittel
which also sets the order of the attributes. The cange is in CVS. |

Nice!
Thanks Stefan, I will test it when I'm back from my holiday. Only problem is that this change is also in a
beta version of elog (more "beta" than usual)
Perhaps it is not in this state when I'm back :)
have a nice holiday
Best regards

Hello Stefan,
Tested the 2.6.0-beta4, and it sort of works. config parameter:
Email attributes = Tittel,Status
gives the mail:
Logbook : work
Tittel : Test
Status : Åpen
Logbook URL : http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/work/904
---
Is there a way to remove Logbook field (and perhaps Logbook URL if I want?)
Best regards

There is the option "Email format", which lets you specify what to show. Try
Email format = 27 |
Comment tooltip shows comment from other logbook, posted by Oleg Solovyanov on Wed Aug 10 18:32:14 2005
|
I have several logbooks with Comment lines,
but the tooltip shows sometimes the correct comment,
sometimes the comment from other logbook...
I see the same behaviour also on this very page...
I use Mozilla 1.7.10.
Tried with Konqueror -> same problem. |

Should be fixed in the current CVS version (see this page) |

Email notification does not work, posted by Dinesh Bapat on Wed Aug 10 03:18:05 2005
|
I have SMTP server that requires authentication
Whenever a new user 'self registers' to E-log, I get an automated email saying so. Hence, the SMTP setting are correct and working.
However, for any entry made to log, no email notification is generated. error '5.5.4 Invalid Address'
suppress notification checkbox is 'unchecked'
Kindly help. |

Turn on logging with
Logfile = elog.log
then you will see all communication betwen elogd and the SMTP server in the logfile. You probably will see the source of the error there.

charset specified in elog.conf has no effect [updated], posted by cunnilinux on Sun Aug 7 17:16:42 2005

well, here's the problem that i had: my charset (koi8-u) was specified in elog.conf for every logbook, but this had no effect, and all elog pages continued tu appeared as iso-8859-1 (which is the default)
when i specified charset in the global section, the problem's gone away.
2do: i think it's worth testing how does it work whet charset specified for a separate logbook overrides globally specidied charset
elog version that is in use: 2.5.7 from debian sarge 3.1 r0a powerpc |

The documentation clearly states that the "charset" option is under the [global] section. I put it there since it does not make much sense to have separate charsets for separate logbooks. Or do you have one Russian, one Japanese and one Swedish logbook on the same server? Maybe for an international language school 
I can easily put it into the individual logbook's config, but only if more than one person requests this. |

password forgot kills elogd, posted by Martin Lindjärv on Wed Aug 31 22:03:04 2005

Hi!
At first, thanx for this software!
But i found a bug or something like that. I installed elog on win2003 and winxp with default settings. And everywhere i had same problem - when forgot password is used it kills elogd. Error what is reported in EventLog is "Faulting application elogd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module elogd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0002f1ee." and thats all. For testing tried newest beta too but it seems to have same problem.
i can insert my email address and when i click submit it wait's for some time and then gives 404.
But tried under linux (gentoo) and everything works like charm.
Any kind of info would be good... |

I tried with the current version under XP and found no problem. Can you try 2.6.0-beta4? |

something for the wishlist: 'Recent Changes', posted by Heiko Scheit on Fri Aug 26 13:08:10 2005

Something for the wishlist:
A 'Recent Changes'-link (option) that lists entries that were changed
recently, where 'recent' can be changed from 1,2,3...(some maximum)
days. |

Two possible solutions:
1. Use ELOG's RSS support (look for "RSS Title" in the config syntax help). I added an RSS icon to each entry with "Bottom Text=<a href="http://myserver:8080/mylogbook/elog.rdf"><img border=0 height="14" width="36" src="/Rssicon_3614.gif" alt="[RSS]"></a>
2. Add a new attribute "Revised" and config it as follows: "Locked attributes = Revised" and "Subst on Edit Revised = $date". It'll get updated each time the entry gets updated. Then all you just need to create a link to "http://yourserver:8080/yourlogbook/page?mode=summary&rsort=Revised"
