It is possible to show the (new) text of a replied entry in the summary text field ?
Actually only for the original entries the text was shown in the text column of the summary report, not for the replies.
|
In principle you can adjust the number of lines shown in the summary text file with the option summary lines = x. If you increase that value, you start seeing some part of the reply. For elog itself it is impossible to distinguish the reply text from the origial text, since some people use plain text like
> original
> text
reply
with the reply sometimes below, sometimes above the original text. Other people use full HTML with tables (like in this forum), where it is very hard internally to distinguish between original and reply text. The easiest is not to quote the original text in replies, then you will see it always.
|
Thank you very much for your answer.
Is there any way to invert the order of the original text and the reply text ?

...
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
Subst on reply author = $long_name

Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name

Fantastic. I forgot the icon and when I resent nothing was left. 
Here goes again!
I have been running Elog for years on a Win2K machine with no email problems. I have been forced to move it to a WinXP machine and I always get this message under WinXP: "Error sending Email via "netsvr10.prod.company.com": Cannot connect to server"
I noticed this a long time ago but was not concerned until I wqas forced to use WinXP. We have years of data in the Elog and to lose the use of it would hinder our operation a lot.
Here is an entry from the elog.log file when it worked under Win2K:
28-Oct-2009 18:28:38 [609144@199.82.127.9] {Generals} NEW entry #0
28-Oct-2009 18:28:38 [609144@199.82.127.9] {Generals} Email from <christophermeyer@fedex.com> to david.spindler@company.com, SMTP host smtp.mail.company.com
28-Oct-2009 18:28:42 [609144@199.82.127.9] {Generals} 220 netsvr10.prod.company.com -- Server ESMTP (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-8.01 (built Dec 16 2008; 32bit))
Here is an entry from today's elog.log under WinXP that does not work.
06-Mar-2010 11:48:23 [117361@127.0.0.1] {Gbld} NEW entry #0
06-Mar-2010 11:48:23 [117361@127.0.0.1] {Gbld} Email from <david.spindler@company.com> to david.spindler@company.com, SMTP host smtp.mail.company.com
06-Mar-2010 11:48:23 [117361@127.0.0.1] {Gbld} READ entry #1612
We use an SMTP server without authentication.

I picked a bad example with an IP address of 127.0.0.1, but it is the same as a valid IP address such as the working entries above or the entry below.
06-Mar-2010 10:31:43 [117361@199.81.166.149] {Gbld} READ entry #1691
06-Mar-2010 10:39:10 [117361@199.81.166.149] {Gbld} NEW entry #0
06-Mar-2010 10:39:11 [117361@199.81.166.149] {Gbld} Email from <david.spindler@company.com> to david.spindler@company.com, SMTP host smtp.mail.company.com

The only idea I have is that your Windows firewall prevents outgoing network traffic on port 25 (SMTP). You should put an exception into the firewall rule. You can try that by opening a DOS box and entering
telnet smtp.mail.company.com 25
if you see a reply, the traffic is allowed. If it blocks, the firewall prevents this kind of traffic. |

Can I limit an elog entry mails to only go to my e-mail, my supervisor and the person who is entering the elog entry. I have the Elog server on Windows XP Pro running version 2.7.8.2282.
|
That should be possible with the following configuration options:
Suppress email to users = 1
Email all = <your e-mail>, <your supervisor e-mail>, $user_email |

If you have a logbook and you create a new entry, is it possible to put a time limit on that new entry so that edits/replies are only valid for certain amount of time. I am looking for a way that would allow me to have a user start a new message, but after 8 hours, that message becomes locked and no one can edit or add to the message. This is for some shift work and we do not want users to go back after their shift and edit the messages.

What you need is
Restrict edit time = ...
as written in the manual. |

First of all, why do you a reply to a very old message? For each new topic you should start a new thread.
I don't know exactly what goes wrong in your case. Just a few ideas:
- Having a '.' in a logbook name can cause trouble, better remove it
- Having a subdir starting with '\\' might work, but I never tried it, does it work if you use a subdirectory on the same drive just with "Subidr = \elog\..." ?
- There is also the option "Logbook dir = ..." which you might try

| FX FRERE wrote: |

Hi again,
I was wondering if one could use a conditional statement on an IOption attribute? Indeed i try to do a visual logbook (a green check for OK result, a red cross for NOK result), unfortunately i cannot refer to the attributes value for conditional test, e.g:
IOptions Status= "Delete-icon.png" {1}, "Check-icon.png"{2}
Icon comment Delete-icon.png = Failed
Icon comment Check-icon.png = OK
{1} Show Attribute Edit = Attribute1, Attribute2
Thread Icon = Status
Attribute1 and 2 do not have any sense if the result was successful,
ELOG interprets the {1} and {2} as being part of the icon name!
thanks again for your help

Conditions won't work for IOption attributes. You need an additional attribute like:
Attributes = Status, Subject, Icon
Options Status = OK{1}, Failed{2}
Ioptions Icon = icon1.gif, icon2.gif
{1}Preset icon = icon1.gif
{2}Preset icon = icon2.gif

I have been trying to get the display mode into threaded by default, it does not work on any of my logbooks. I saw related threads in this forum but none gave me a solution (unless the 2.7.8-2282 is available for download).
|
The display mode is taken from the configuration option "Display mode = ..." only the very first time a users accesses a logbook. When the user switches to any other mode (summary, full) by clicking on the according menu option, the new mode is stored in a cookie in the browser and overrides the "Display mode = ..." setting. Maybe that is what you see. |
