One way would be to create a seperate logbook for each student including the
teacher. It should then be fairly simple to set up the permissions however you
would like. For a large class it might be a bit cumbersome to set it up this way.

What you can do is put most of the configuration options into the [global] section,
such as

[global]
Attributes = ...
Password file = ...
...
Admin user = teacher

[John]
Login user = john
[Joe]
Login user = joe
[Fred]
Login user = fred

In this case, each logbook only requires two lines, while all the other options are
inherited from the [global] section. The "login user" restricts logins only to a
single student, which the teachis has admin rights for all logbooks. The teacher can
reply to individual students by writing into their "personal" logbook, or he can set
up a dedicated teacher logbook which everybody can read (Just omit the 'login user').

I added the option "Email attributes = <list>" for that. So you can specify

Email attributes = UA, Pri, Status, Oppdragsgiver, EpostTil, Tittel

which also sets the order of the attributes. The cange is in CVS.

Nice!

Thanks Stefan, I will test it when I'm back from my holiday. Only problem is that this change is also in a
beta version of elog (more "beta" than usual)

Perhaps it is not in this state when I'm back :)

have a nice holiday

Best regards

Hello Stefan,

Tested the 2.6.0-beta4, and it sort of works. config parameter:
Email attributes = Tittel,Status

gives the mail:

Logbook             : work
Tittel              : Test
Status              : Åpen

Logbook URL         : http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/work/904

---

Is there a way to remove Logbook field (and perhaps Logbook URL if I want?)

Best regards
Michael

> Is there a way to remove Logbook field (and perhaps Logbook URL if I want?)

There is the option "Email format", which lets you specify what to show. Try 

Email format = 27

This bug has been fixed in meantime, please upgrade to the current version.

Thanks very much for the quick response Stefan. My apologies, I thought I was on the latest version or I would have upgraded before contacting you.
The file I installed from was the rpm "elog-3.1.5-20240226.el9.x86_64.rpm" which still seems to be the latest version on the Dropbox downloads page.
Do I need to use the tar distribution to get the latest?
