Can anyone help to compile Elog?

 

 

The crypt.c file is not from me, so there might be some issues on other OSes. I defined now at least MIN/MAX by hand, and also removed mempcpy. The new version is attached. Can you try again to compile it? The strtoul and realloc are nomal C functions, maybe you have to add some other libraries for linking, but I'm not an expert for SunOS.

Any idea how to get the HTML format email back?

Marty

 Sat Nov 6 14:47:16 2010

It looks strange but when I copy and past the message, like I did here,  the HTML format is OK, but not when I receive the email in Outlook. This used to be OK with the previous version.

Nothing has changed in Outlook

The email notification contains the basic HTML code and an (external) reference to the underlying CSS. I use for example Thunderbird instead of Outlook, and this program asks me if I should "show remote content". Only if I click yes, then the external CSS is loaded. Outlook might also have an option "view as web page" or so. The old format did not use full HTML and therefore was displayed correctly. This can be changed with the email encoding = ... option.

No, there are only the options

execute new = ...

execute edit = ...

execute delete = ...

though which you can execute external scripts. Maybe this is enough?

Also, is there a way to auto-submit entries after x minutes?

 

Your help and support are appreciated.

You can use

use lock = 1

as described in the documentation. Auto-submission is on the wishlist and will be implemented in the not-so-far future.

 Hello Yoshio

Thanks for the answer. Just solved the problem i was having. It seems that the -m option for elog.exe is a required commandline option. When skipping it elog just waits to get something.
Thanks for the time you took to answer this question.

Kind regards Arno Teunisse

 

There are three ways to supply the elog main body text:

1) Via a text file and the -m switch 

2) On the command line, like

elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l demo -a author=sr -a type=Routine "this is the main body text"

3) Interactively. If you omit both the -m switch and the text, elog reads from the terminal. You can enter several lines, and finish with Ctrl-Z (Windows) and Ctrl-D (Linux)

C:\>elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l demo -a author=sr -a type=Routine
This is the
main body text

Error: Missing required attribute "Category" 

Please Notice that I've put quotes around : -u "username password" ( the documentation shows that this is not necessary) .  But now it failes to see a required attribute.  

When I leave out the quotes in the -u part , it just hangs despite the -vvv on the server console and the -v option  used in the elog command line. Nothing happens. No output at the server debug screen. 
I'm Not using SSL , nor have i used a certificate. It's just a good old  plain html server. ( As far as i can see )

This is the main section in my config and the section I want to change :
[global]
