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 ?

I am using eLog ELOG V2.6.1-1681 which has 7 log books under 8 categories. Out of 7 log books, 2 are daily used. It happened that two weeks back. I modified information on two log books which were not used for quite longtime. Hence using CONFIG, I updated these log books, changing text etc. After that eLog in general started giving error. Any time when we click SUBMIT button in any log book, eLog shows page not found. That submit crashes eLog and as a result elogd service stops. Restarting elogd service, eLog operation comes back and the log which I submitted was actualy saved. Difficulty is that this problem is happening with every single submit action.
I searched forum and learnt that upgrading eLog to newest version 2.7.8 will solve this problem. Upgrade created more problems, I was not able to open any log, authentication was not accepted. I restored that backup and went back to previous version. eLog started working but with submit error.
If any one can help me in fixing this problem
|
I propose that you get 2.7.8 working. If the authentication fails, try do do password recovery, or recreated the accounts. |

When replying on a reply, the author is set to the author on the original reply? Othervice it workes great!
part of code:
...
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
Subst on reply author = $long_name
...

I use:
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name

Hi,
When I upgrade from build 2278 to 2282 the thread view changes when performing searches: The thread children are not indented and there are no "thread icons" in the search list (e.g. like the read right arrow for replies).
On the forum site I also note that the thread view is not indented when performing searches.
Does anyone have an idea ?

This seems to be a bug. I reproduced it with a different browser (Opera) with the default ELOG configuration. When I do Find and select Display Threads I have the message icons but the layout is not correct. Also, all message icons are of the "reply" type even if they are new threads.
This concerns only the latest build 2282.

That's not a bug, that's a feature
But honestly, this feature was requested recently and implemented. See https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/66670. So when searching, the thread organization is broken up and messages are treated independently. If you want to see the thread for a certain entry in you search result page, click on that entry and you will see the full thread above the entry. |

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 |

David send me his modification and I put it into the main source code, so it will be contained in the next Windows

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 = ...
