Hi all,

I'm absolutely new with ELOG and have only basic programming skills...

I'd like to use ELOG, so I have installed it in my computer to start playing with it (I installed version 2.7.0-1953 because with the latest one I got an error with the elogd.cfg file). I've been able to open the Demo logbook but wasn't able to submit a new entry into it. I get the following error:

"HTML encoding not allowed"

Could you please explain me how I could solve this problem?

I thank you in advance for your help.

Any reason why when I click "Reply" to a previous submission that the body is full of HTML code?

See below:

<p>

Here is my logbook config:

[Logbook]
Theme = default
Comment = Maintenance Logbook
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Shift
Options Type = Repair, Routine, Preventative, Other
Options Category = Emergency, General, Change-Over, Other
Options Shift = 1, 2, 3
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = Maint Log - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
Quick filter = Date, Type, Category

Hi all,

I am trying to set up elog here at the University of Minnesota.  It looks very promising for helping to manage a fairly complicated operation.  I've got most of what I want set up without too much difficulty.  However, I find that I'm having some difficulty to get it working properly with email.

In particular, I have my account set up to email me when log entries are made (subscribe to logbooks option is selected).   In the global section of my elogd.conf file I have set up the variables:

SMTP host = factoryserver5
SMTP username = factory

However, when I make a test entry, I get an error at the top:

Error sending Email via <i>"factoryserver5"</i>: 5.5.1 Error: authentication not enabled

I tried setting the password using "elogd -t" but to no avail.  I also tried a few different values for SMTP host

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

Cheers,

Satish

I use plain encoding, cannot answer for the others but it should do the trick as it's in the documentation.  I'm using Firefox some large number and 2.9.2.-2475

I do what I believe you want, and get it by having the following line in my config file for that logbook (which is part of elog.cfg):

 Prepend on reply = \n

This gives a blank line at the "top" of the entries when you start a reply, and all the previous entries gain another "> " unless you've also altered that default behaviou (as in fact I have).  The result then looks like:

Latest line of text

> Previous entry

> > Previous entry to that

Hello,

Is there still a limit of 50 attachments per topic?  If so, is there or could there be a parameter to change this setting?

Thanks,

 Hi,

I would like to make an hyperlink to an external file in a messaje. I have writen Allow (HTML = 1) in .cfg file and the hyperlink as

<p><a href="file:\\external_computer\directory">test</a></p>

It did not work. However if I write in the chrome browser:

file:\\external_computer\directory

It works.

Thank you so much!!

I have a couple questions on how to configure multiple logbooks with groups.

1. How can I have a user have permissions to a single logbook that is within a group and jump to it using tabs?
   1. Launching from main/home screen may work, but using tabs from one group to another where the single workbook resides in a group of others, it errors out or asks for login to a logbook you may not have rights to.(always the first book in the group)
2. How can I force a main login to direct you to the MAIN logbook selection screen?

Example: (use images for reference)  A user has permissions to "Punch" and "Maintenance".  Maintenance is a single logbook and Punch is within the group "Dry Room". 

While the user is in Maintenance and without having to jump back to the MAIN selection screen, how can the user select the Tab "Dry Room" as seen in image, without throwing up or redirecting you?

 Hi Barend,

The counting of entries, or even "tickets", only works within a particular logbook.  If you archive a set of entries to another [archive] logbook, the archived set disappears from view of the original logbook.  Should that entry, from logbook to archive, be the *latest* thread, then there is the danger of over-writing message ID, Ticket No and the like.

My policy to prevent the problem is to archive only threads that are say (depending upon use) a month after last entry..
