Stefan, any chance of having an option that eliminates the ability of new users to pick the logbooks they can register with? I would like to limit this to the "admin" user to pick per individual.


The logbook list new users can register with is exactly the list the users have access to. So if you omit a logbook there, they can later just go to that logbook, hit config, and add themselves. If you want to prevent a user from getting notifications from a logbook, prevent user access to that logbook, like a new top group.

Not at the moment. It would take days of work which I don't have right now. Much more than what it takes you editing the password file in an editor Wink

Hmm, by default all users have access to all logs. What I have setup is an announcement logbook and I would simply like to send to all registered users the email when announcements happen. My thought was to simply not allow people to pick which logbooks to "register" with and default to the Announcements logbook. I went ahead and hacked the password file and simply set all accounts to subscribe to all logbooks Big grin

I've got logbooks where I'm submitting entries on behalf of other users, or where other people should be notified of the ticket. This isn't a fixed list of people, and shouldn't be hard-coded into a config file. I've got a field to enter the user's e-mail address, but there's no action associated with that data.

I'd like to see a new field type that allows the entry of e-mail addresses, where each addresses supplied with the logfile entry would be automatically "CC'ed" in the notification e-mail. Ideally, people on the CC list would be (optionally) CC'ed when there are replies or edits to the original elog entry.


For example (snippet of fictional elogd.cfg):

-------------------------------
[web site]
Welcome Title = Issues regarding the web site
MOptions Category = Add links, Change content, Broken Link, Other
CCMailTo = Notification List
Attributes = Author, Category, Severity, Subject, Entry ID, Status, User, Login
Extendable Attributes = Category, Severity, Subject, Status, User, Login, Notification List
Required Attributes = Category, Subject, Status, User
-------------------------------


Just do the following:
Attributes = Author, Category, Notification list
Email all = $Notification list

Whenever you enter a new entry, you put a list of email addresses into the Notification list, which is then used for sending email addresses. This list also stays there in replies or edits.



mmmm when i try your suggestion, it doesn't work :
error from the smtp server
Erreur lors de l'envoi d'un mél. via "172.20.0.2": Issue RCPT TO: command before DATA command

here is my config
Theme = default
Comment = Logs des modification de scripts des 3 domaines
Attributes = Acteur, Action, Type, Nom du Scripts, Language, Domaine, Categorie, Commentaires,Notification
Options Action = Ajout, Modification, Suppression, Réseau, Autre, Hotfix
Options Type = Ouverture de session,Autre, deploiement
Options Language = VBS, AU3, Kix, Batch, Ksh, Perl
Options Domaine = VaubanHumanis, Humanis, Vauban
Extendable Options = Catégorie, Type, Action
Required Attributes = Acteur, Type, Lieu
Page Title = Modification Scripts - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
Suppress Email to users = 1
# Email all = someadminsuser@maildomain.com
Email all = $Notification
Options Status = 1-To Do{1}, 2-Open{2}, 3-Closed{3}, 4-Suspended{4}

you can remark the commented line
i would like to have one fixed list, so those users will be always alerted, and to be able to add and adress email in the notification attribute, but i really don't know how to do it
thx for any suggestions

You get this error if no valid receiver is specified. I tried your config file and it worked fine. You need however a recent version of elog (2.6.2-7). Probably you have to upgrade.

You can do that with

Preset Notification = someone@mail.com, someoneelse@mail.com

So Notification gets preset with a pre-defined list, which you can edit before submission.

Hi Stefan,

Is there a way to add a 'Tool Tips' to individual 'Options' similar to that currently available for Attributes? I have several checkboxes under an attribute for predefined email groups and would like to see if I can make the recipient list viewable via a mouse hover using the 'Tool tip' feature.
If not possible can it be added to the wishlist?

Many thx.

Ok, I implemented this. It is in revision 1760 and will be contained in the next release.

If you have
MOptions item = value_1, value_2

you can do a
Tooltip value_1 = text
