I don't know if you can get elog to generate a log file - check the documentation, I don't bother. But I do have some experience with this
matter.
There are two related circumstances I know of that can arise which will cause elog to crash. |

Issue with zero-length mail attachments, posted by Andrew Daviel on Sat Mar 18 02:10:33 2017

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. |

Possible misuse of email headers Message-Id and In-Reply-To, posted by fbretel on Wed Feb 8 16:38:15 2017

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 |

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? |

Is it possible change content of the notifying mail content (attachements...) ?, posted by Christine Quicot on Tue Feb 7 18:45:08 2017

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 ? |

Please look in the manual under "Email Format" and "Use Email Subject".

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'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. |

or "Einsatzende" the "Einsatzzeit" is not changed.

There is the "subst on edit = ..." option you should use in addition.

How can change the justification of a column?, posted by fabio vitale on Mon Jan 30 17:52:20 2017

It is possible to change the justification for a column/attribute in the list mode (left-aligned, centered, right-aligned)?
Right now Elog treats each colum of a list as centered,

You can do that chaning the CSS of the underlying theme. But you need some experience with CSS.

I need to set text-align:left but only for an attribute in the List mode, For example, say that FirstName column must be left justified in list view.
What is the name of the cell content in the default elog.css?

You might tell your browser to show you the source code of an ELOG page in list mode. There you'll find the class name you're looking for.

The CSS class for the list display table "listframe". If you want the second column to be left-aligned, you put following into elog.css:
.listframe td:nth-child(2) {
text-align:left; |

Thank you Stefan: it worked!
Now I am wondering if there is some syntax to force this behaviour at the attribute level in elog.cfg, without the need to modify the css, I
mean simply based on the attribute name (not its content). The syntax Style <attribute> <value> = <style> |

The mxml package has been converted into a submodule in the git repository. At http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download.html you see that you need a "--recursive"
flag to clone it. If you have already checked out the sources, you need a
git submodule update --init --recursive |

Opening a Local File using <a href="file:///../filename.doc">text</a>, posted by Terry Almond on Mon Jan 30 15:50:45 2017

I've created an elog where users can then enter links to a file: for example they would enter:
<a href="file:///M:/Data/Inspection%20Reports/ABC123.doc">ABC123</a>
If they are running this on their desktops where everyones M drive is mapped to the same location, not a problem, the file opens perfectly. |

Linking to external files via "file:///..." is a bad idea, since only a pointer is stored in the elog. So if someone puts somehing on M: and
the drive is removed, the file is physically gone. No way to retrieve it. Instead of puttting links to files, users should get trained to ATTACH the files
to elog cntries (V3 of elog has a "Drop attachments here..." section. Only then the files are physically transferred into elog and accessible |

Hi Stefan
Unfortunately this would become impractical for us as many of the test data files which we'd need to link too are Gb's in size, some
over 100Gb, hence only the files needed to do a say an inspection of the equipment would be copied onto memory sticks. Currently we use an excel speadsheet |

If a file is on a memorystick and the memorystick is gone, how could elog bring it back? What you ask for is magic, sorry for that. Also if you move
files outiside elog from one folder (drive) to anohter. How shoudl elog keep track of these files if they are outside? If your colleague moves some piece
of equipment from A to B, without telling you, how can you guess where B is? |

Sure, we (Andreas and I) get your point. But you say "... we have no control of the device allocation". If you have no control, how could
elog have control? As Adreas said, the file:// access is even done inside your browser, thus bypassing elog, so you have to tell your browser where to
find the files. I cannot say more than what Andreas said in elog:68562 |

Hi Terry,
I'm not really sure I understand the question; I'll try to rephrase how I understood it.
You have loads of measurement
data. All this data is stored not in ELOG but in a common drive M:.
When people work off-site, they copy the ELOG data and all the measurement |
