Thank you for Elog, you have done a good job with it.  It is a great logbook.

I could not reproduce your problem. I tried the very simple config file:

[Demo]
Attributes = Author, Subject

and the problem did not occur (see attachment). Can you try the most recent version (elog280-4.exe) with this simple configuration. Maybe you have a more complicated configuration which causes the problem. In that case please send it to me, so that I can reproduce the problem.

 Thank you Stefan for your help on this. I am using version 2.8.0 built Aug 2, 2010 rev 2312. I tried your configuration file and the problem did not occur. Using my config file the elogd crashes using the % sign in the subject when replying to the entry. So the problem is something in my config file. After checking through my config file and remming out individual lines and testing, I found that the following statement is causing the problem:

Preset on reply subject = Re: $Subject

I was using this to put the "Re:" on the replies.

The only problem now is I don't get the "Re:" in the subject on replies. Am I doing something wrong to cause this? My config file is attached.

Thanks,
Mike

Is it possible to automatically go back to the list view in summary mode after submitting a new message instead of displaying the new message?

I know it's possible to display a page from a file after submitting a new message  by using "Submit Page = <file>". 
It would be nice to be able to use a command like "Submit Page = <command>" where I could insert "?cmd=Back" as in the "Start page" command.

Thanks,

Mike

I just implemented a new flag "List after submit = 1" which does exactly this. It brings you to the summary page after the submission of a new entry. I needed the function myself. The change is SVN revision 2327 and will be contained in the next release. 

 Thank you very much! I appreciate it.

  66918   Mon Oct 11 10:27:26 2010 Entry Jianglai Liujianglai.liu@sjtu.edu.cnQuestionLinux2.8.0automated email notification did not work for me

Hi,

I am setting up an elog to organize my lab activities. I installed elog 2.8.0 on the latest CentOS 5.5, 32 bit. I got into trouble setting up the automated email notification.

According to the elog manual, I setup the smtp setting in the elogd.cfg as follows:

SMTP host = smtp.gmail.com
SMTP username = jianglai.liu
 

I then used "elogd -t" to encode the password into the configuration file.

But when I submit an entry, I always received: "Error sending Email via "smtp.gmail.com": 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. y17sm867489wfd.15"

If I switched to use my university email servers, similar things happened.

SMTP host = smtp.sjtu.edu.cn
SMTP username = jianglai.liu

I got "Error sending Email via "smtp.sjtu.edu.cn": 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: another step is needed in authentication"

I also switched to use one of my old work server

SMTP host = smtp-server.its.caltech.edu
SMTP username = jliu

and ended up with the same error message.

I did a google search on this without much progress. I would appreciate it very much if someone could shed light on how do I fix this.

Thanks much!

There is currently no easy possibility to change this except manually changing the CSS file. But that requires some CSS and HTML knowledge. You would have to change the CSS class "listtitle2" and "summary".

What about using something like MySQLfs to get a db backend transparently to ELOG?  I use ENCFS, (a FUSE backend), currently to achieve encrypted logbooks and it works fine -- ELOG never knows anything other than reading and writing to logbook files.  From what I've read, the MySQLfs backend would work the same, and you likely would gain some of the caching benefits of MySQL, which might help with your read/search times, given the memory requirements of the database of course.

We have been running elog for a few years now and its solid. The only thing is we are getting to 140k entries over a few books and its starting to slow down whist searching. My questions is can we go to an SQL type database rather than a flat file? Is it worth it? Is anyone running this type of configuration?

I attempted to remove the text editor (like you did in "Demo of database-like elog") using  "Show text = 0".

In both your Demo and my logbook when you hit  "New"  - Explorer generates the folowing error message

        Error: The Textarea with id or name set to "text" was not found.

Is there a solution or do we just live with it.

Thanks,    Mike

 

Thanks for reporting that bug. I fixed it in SVN revision 2188, and the fix will be contained in the next release. 

 I am getting the same message in the current version (V2.8.0-2312), if the "Preset text"  text body contains the equal sign '='. Then this message pops up and the HTML-editor dosn't show its menu bars, with the elog- or plain text editor this does not happen. It happens as well with firefox as with internet explorer.

 

best regards

Robert

I found a bug there, but am not 100% sure if it fixed your problem. Can you please try the current SVN version 2331? I made a new intermediate release elog280-4.exe for you.
