If you have more than one topic it is better to do more than one post.

I did not understand your first question. You should not have a line "SMTP host= " if you don't want to send any email. Have you tried "Suppress Email to users=1" to get rid of the error message?

If you export in cvs format, then it is the correct behaviour that multiple lines of text in the body are put into quotation marks and printed as multiple lines in the output. Every spreadsheet program (Excel, Openoffice, Libreoffice, ...) should be able to read that into a table. I've tested it, it works fine. If you have a problem, then you'll need to attach your elogd.cfg file and the exported file in the forum and some screenshots of what your MS Excel does with it.

Hello

first of all, congrats for bring back the forum after down for sometimes, :D

but seems my old account is broken, I cant login with that anymore, so I make new account and strangely I can make identical account like the old one ahahahaha

okay first question :

Recently my elog setup got smtp host error, everytime someone submit log, error result that SMTP host is not found in global setting.

I dont't set mail server on my server so I cant use smtp host function, and I use register type 1 to avoid email function, but after sometimes those error occured, it seems some members accidentally check ëmail notification option

so, how to completely disable this function or maybe some work around on this error? I dont have mail server right now,

second

When we export logbook to CSV and open to microsoft excel, html tags still there, how to ommit html tags completely during export? and how to make nice table data from csv in elog? I saw many inconsistency there, especially on comment data

for example if I make more than two lines of logbook, second line will place in first column , not in the last column, just like the first line of comment.

I meant to use it instead of ELOG. Spreadsheets allow calculaiton of dates, etc. So you can achieve what you need. Again: WHAT YOU WANT IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH ELOG.

Is it as good as Microsoft excel  sheet.

but how can achieve my aim of calculation  how how to integrate it with elog 

Sorry for disturbing yau again and again

Sir, how to use that spreadsheet 

can the calculation is possible by running a batch file . 

This is not possible with ELOG. May I suggest that you use a spreadsheet for that.

First of all thanx for your kind help. Kindly help me on the following problem.

I have a logbook which keeps the record of all fault booked by different subscriber.this logbook has three attribute downtime,uptime & total duration (date &time format) . I want to calculate the total duration automatically whenevr uptime value is given and if the uptime is not given it should calculate depending upon the system present time.pleas explain it with example.

thanking you
