Using preset text files , posted by soren poulsen on Mon May 4 11:22:40 2009

Hi,
I am trying the Preset text option from the documentation: like:
Attributes = Author, Type
Options Type = Network check{1}, System check{2}
{1} Preset text = network.txt
{2} Preset text = system.txt
I have two questions:
1. Where are the preset text files searched from ? I guess I could put them in the logbook (and specify a relative path like in this example) but it appeared only to work when I specifiy an abcolute path. That is even better in my case.
2. How do I specify line feeds in the file ? I tried Linux and Windows new line characters - but I always end up with just one line in my e-log. I would really like a multi-line form.

Dear Soren,
Just use HTML (and call the file network.html to remember).

Without path, the file must reside in the "scripts" subdirectory.
For the multi-line form, it depends how you want to format your elog entry. If you format in "plain", the simple line breaks are sufficient. If you format in HTML, your preset file must be in HTML as well, so a line break has to be a <br> tag. If you format in ELCode, a simple line break again would be ok. |

Thanks for the hints on the "scripts" dir. For the formatting, that's clear. I started with the sample "network.txt" file from the doc and the default encoding (HTML), so that did (of course) not render correctly (before inserting a few tags).

I have my site running under apache. I don't have a /elog/ directory.
for example most would do http://www.example.com/elog/ to visit elog

The site is private so it's password protected. Everything works fine except
if I click the "Forgot Password" link it does nothing.
but if I go to one of the log books...
http://www.example.com/open/
The forgot password link works.
Is there anyway to fix this? I have nothing else running on the server, it's dedicated to only ELOG.
That's why I don't want to have it running under /elog/ in the url.

Thanks for reporting this bug, I fixed it in revision 2197 which you can load from the SVN server. |

Thanks for the fix. I tried out 2197 and when I click the "Forgot Password" link it causes elog to crash. I've attached my cfg file.

help with substituting subjects, posted by Alexander Withers on Wed May 6 20:49:24 2009
|
I am trying to add additional information to the subject of new entries:
Subst subject = $subject [INCIDENT $message id]
Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject
Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject
However, the new entry subject looks like:
this is my subject [INCIDENT this is my subject [INCIDENT $message id]
I'm not sure if there's a problem with the substitution or if this is just not allowed (I'm having LISP flashbacks).
By the way, if I use "Subst on reply subject" I get the behavior I would like but the original entry in the thread doesn't contain the appended data:
Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject [INCIDENT $message id]
Any help would be appreciated.

The problem was the password recovery in conjunction with "Bottom text", thanks for supplying your configuration file. I fixed that in revision 2198. |
