How can I turn off the formatting controls above the message text when making a new or reply entry? I included the flat 'Default Encoding = 1' in my config file, but it seems to have no effect.


You need the current CVS version which has this implemented, or you wait for the next official release.

The log has been set up to suppress all email notification, as SMTP is not being used at my location (MS Exchange Server is being used).


MS Exchange Server has and SMTP server inside, I use this all the time.

Also How can I turn off the icon selection panel to the left of a new message text box?


By clicking on the smiley on the top row next to "FONT".

And, finally, is it possible to turn off the Suppress Email notification checkbox AND not send emails?


You can put a
Suppress email to users = 1
into the config file, but the checkbox will still be there, but non-functional. Maybe I should remove it in that case...

PS Reworking the source code, then recompiling it, is not a viable option for me at this time.


You are not supposed to <b>rework</b> the source code, but if you want the cutting edge features, you need to recompile from CVS or wait for official releases.


I apologize for my using the incorrect language. I did not mean I would be rewriting your code, merely compiling, linking, and running the new version. The computer elog is loaded one is not one I have access to a compiler on. Sorry if I misspoke!

Hello All. Stefan, would it be possible to add one more option to the Suppress Default flag? I'd appreciate a setting that would suppress emails being sent and remove the option from the page. Or, has this been accomplished? And, if so, what is that setting. Thanks in advance!! Keep up the great work.


I added
Suppress default = 3

which always suppresses email notifications. The addition is under CVS and will be included in the next release.

Hello Stefan. I used this setting with the beta2 version and it works great. THANX!!! Many kudos to you for an elegant solution to the logging 'problem'.

Hi

Elog runs now for serveral month without any problem at a Windows 2000 server.
I must change the access rights for all Folders, remove the user everyone and set the
Rights only to defined groups .
Now I can see following Event ID

Event Type: Information
Event Source: ELOG
Event Category: None
Event ID: 0
Date: 20.07.2005
Time: 08:14:24
User: N/A
Computer: SNDSRV1
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ELOG ) cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: Cannot stat() config file; No such file or directory.

My question now. Have someone see the same Problem ?
It this is a access right problem How to set up the access rights for Elog
Elog folders ?

Bye

I do not know what exactly is going on. This error occurs during runtime when elog tries to check if the config file (usually elogd.cfg) has changed. It checks if the file is there on startup, but apparently it is there, otherwise elog would not start. Then it checks about once per second if the file access time has changed. If so, it rereads the file. This way changes to the file become valid immediately, without restarting elog. The fact that elog has access to the file on startup, but not later, is somehow strange. Maybe you lock this file with an editor, or it is on a network drive which gets disconnected, or the permission changed after the startup. Something in that direction.
  1296   Fri Jul 22 03:15:29 2005 Question PJ Meyerpjm@pjmeyer.orgQuestionWindows2.5.?Date in CSV and XML in UNIX time
Q: How can dates be exported correctly in CSV and XML?
In windows version I'm getting the Unix seconds since 1970.
XML export:
<DATE>Wed Jun 22 08:29:58 2005</DATE>
<Date_Needed>1119384000</Date_Needed>
<Date_Added>1119470400</Date_Added>

the date record added is good and readable, the two user defined dates are Unix and not real useful in Excel.

Same behavior is the CSV file, the date record added is good, the two user defined dates are Unix seconds.

Now when E-log emails the records all the dates are good - ie readable dates.

So what can be done to make all the dates look like dates?

I did upgrade to "2.60-beta2" of the Windows binaries - June 16th date stamps on Elog.exe and Elogd.exe.
I'm still getting dates that are in "Unix time"

Anything else?

I just tried again myself. Put following into elgod.cfg:

[demo]
Attributes = Author, Category, Arrival
Type Arrival = Date


type in one entry, did a XML extract, and got
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- ELOGD Version 2.6.0-beta2 export.xml -->
<ELOG_LIST>
	<ENTRY>
		<MID>1</MID>
		<DATE>Fri Jul 22 22:50:34 2005</DATE>
		<Author>sr</Author>
		<Category>Problem</Category>
		<Arrival>7/25/2005</Arrival>
		<TEXT></TEXT>
	</ENTRY>
</ELOG_LIST>

where the date looks ok. So what do you do differently?
