Hello,

I'm sorry but that's a part of the manual I've read many times, and I'm not interested in changing the subject of the email, but only body and attachements.

I guess that if I didn't find these answers in the manual, it's because the answer for both questions is no ?

 

Thank you

Hello all,

I would like to configure the email that is sent to notify users, when an entry is submitted:

- Is it possible to attach to the mail the files attached to the entry ?

- Is it possible to configure a string (with entry keywords) that will appear in the mail content instead of the default content ?

 

Thank you!

Christine

I'm sorry but you are only half right. The mail contenct cannot be changed. But if your email notifications are sent as HTML, they contain a 1:1 copy of the elog entry, which does not make sense to change. For the attachment to be attached to the email, you need the flags of "Email Format". The default there is 63, which means that elog attachments ARE sent as mail attachments.

A pull request would be highy appreciated, because you can then test it thoroughly on your side. Adding a random number to the message id is simple. "Reply-to" indeed does not make sense since elog cannot receive emails. Most sites use a generic "noreply@<domain>" to indicate to the user that a reply does not make sense. I guess the "Reply-to" does not have to be unique, right?

Hi,

As mentionned before, we happen to fail to receive email messages related to updates on elog entries at our site. My understanding is that the SMTP header Message-Id MUST be unique for each email message. Whereas all elogd email messages get something like <logbook>-<entryId>@<domain>. See source code. For this header to become unique, there should be a random part in it.

Having the same Message-Id in multiple email messages results in only the first one being delivered on some email systems.

Moreover, elogd sets the In-Reply-To: header in the same manner (<logbook>-<entryId>@<domain>). Which is incorrect because this header relates to email messages, not elog entries, and should contain the email Message-Id of the email message to which it replies, itself handled by the email messaing system. But elogd hasn't received any email messsage in the first place. So I believe this header should simply be dropped.

I think I can provide a pull request on bitbucket for the Message-Id issue, and probably also for the In-Reply-To: if you decide it can be removed.

Cheers

I've seen exact;y this effect, even though I have branching = 0 in my config file - so ordinarily no chance to have two
 replies to an entry.  My pointer aka mouse (I'm on Linux) is a bit dodgy, and sometimes disconnects/reconnects, so in effect gives a very fast double click.  I've always assumed that was the cause of the problem.  The two replies have incremental IDs, and both those IDs are listed in the "Reply to" header section of the entry.  I'm not sure how this overcomes the branching = 0 detail, though.

That is what I have assumed, but if others see this on occasion, perhaps it's got a different cause.

We have elog-2.7.5-1.i386 on SL 5

If I create an elog entry using the web interface, and include an inline image,  email is sent with a zero-length named attachment - the MIME header is present, but no content.

In the config file, Email Format = 47, though I also tried with format = 63.

Is this a bug that was fixed in a later version, or a configuration error (or a new bug) ?

Probably us not having ImageMagick installed. elog was able to attach pdf's, xpm's and xbm's to email, but not jpeg's or png's, though they inlined OK in HTML on the server.

It seems OK, I think, after installing ImageMagick and restarting.

Hi,

Maybe the post is outdated already, but I want to share my experience anyway. I faced the same problem as Daniel: The most recent ImageMagick package was not detected by elogd even though it was installed. I could trace back the problem to the following issue:

Stefan mentioned that the ImageMagick software is detected via the 'convert' command. Since ImageMagick V7, however, the 'convert' command is no longer supported. So, when installing ImageMagick V6 the detection works.

@Stefan: Maybe you could adapt the software detection at some point? Thanks.

Ok. It take me a while, but I reinstalled ImageMagick with marked option "convert". Now, when I start elog, it can see ImageMagick, but screenshots attached to elog entries are still in original sizes. And, I don't see buttons for rotating, resizing images. 

I look into elog cfg options, but only what I found is Thumbnail size which, it looks, don't work.

Don't know what more I should check. 

Daniel.

The detection in elogd works by executing the command "convert" and check if the program executes. If you start elogd as a service, the program might see another path variable. Maybe reboot Windows or start the service in the environment of a real user instead of system, where it might miss your modified "path".

Hello.

I finally try add ImageMagick to ELOG.

I downloaded latest version (ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16) and installed it. Everything looks ok, but when I start Elog service it says that "ImageMagick not detected". 

When I look at the "path" variable i have "C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;[...]".

What else can I check?

 

Regards

Daniel.

 

Ps. My system is Windows 7 Pro.
