Hi All,

I got into trouble setting up the automated email notification.

elog.cfg:

;Send automatic email notifications
SMTP host = mail.ihep.ac.cn
;SMTP host = 127.0.0.1

;Some SMTP server require username/passowrd authentication
;elogd -t <your password> for creating SMTP password
SMTP username = wux@ihep.ac.cn

SMTP Password = .JYEytMGvsHANeCIfQJXmscIt4NOtzJ8GbAnh3XH280
;SMTP Password = V3gxMzYxODAxMjAxNA==
;No Email notification
Suppress Email to users = 1

elogd -v:

GET /LEBT/?cmd=Forgot&login_name=wux HTTP/1.1
timezone: -28800, offset: 28800

Email from <wux@ihep.ac.cn> to wux@ihep.ac.cn, SMTP host mail.ihep.ac.cn:

Any advice and suggestions will be appreciate.

After submitting a new post, if the page is left completely alone,, it will after a few minutes prompt that the page needs to resend information.

This is the same prompt you'd get if you attempt to refresh a page that had session variables passsed to it. Example is attached.

Is there something in my config that could cause this?   This is a fresh install of the latest verison however my elogd.cfg file has been migrated throuh many installs over many versions, so it's very possible this is something following along.

thanks.

Start with the demo example configuration, add one line after the other from your config, and figure out which is the offending statement in your config, then post a minimal configuration here which triggers the problem.

Updating CKeditor did work, thanks for the tip.

Hi all,

I have a use case for ELOG where I need to be able to "prefill" some attributes in the "cmd=new" form, based on the URL.

To illustrate, imagine a link that takes the user directly to the form for creating a new post, with the "Subsystem" attribute already filled out to "Vacuum".

Is this possible already? I've tried naively using URL parameters (e.g. "&Subsystem=Vacuum") but that does not work. If it's not implemented, I think it would be a useful feature to have (and quite important for my particular use case). I could create a new post first using the "elog" tool, with the desired attributes set, but it makes more sense to defer the actual creation of the post to the user, i.e. he/she might change their mind before pressing "submit".

Thanks,

Put a "p" in front of the attribute, like "&pSubsystem=Vacuum". This is kind of an undocumented feature just for the experts ;-)

Wow, than you both for the quick response! I agree it's quite a hidden gem, but the most important thing is that it works, thanks!
