Use

Email format = 6

to restrict email notifications to URL and attributes only (without
attachment). A size limit for email notifications is right now not implemented.

Hi Stefan,

It has a bug. The filter will fail on the initial page of the logbook. 

example,

on http://10.10.10.10:10/mylogbook/  
when select category filter the system will return
      http://10.10.10.10:10/myylogbook/&category=hardware which is bad

on http://10.10.10.10:10/mylogbook/page or page1/page2 etc..other then the initial page,
when select category filter the system return the correct result.
      http://10.10.10.10:10/mylogbook/page?category=hardware.

I have not tested 2.5.3.

nait.

This feature is normally documentd at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html (search
for "Email Format" on this page). The Email subject is included, but the first line
of the email body is cut out with format = 6. Maybe you want format = 7 if you need
that line.

You should, it has been fixed in 2.5.3 :-)))

Usual problem for me. There is no elogd binary file in the tar.gz file. 
I remember you used to include it. :) 

nait.

Hi, 
I also have this problem, when a non admin user logs in he does not have access to
the config file but if he logs out he can then access the config file as non logged
user.
I also tried to upgrade to version 2.5.3 but running under this version does not ask
for passwords so I reverted to 2.5.2.

Besides these few details, your software is great !

Thank you,

Alexandre
