Okay, I got it working but I had to change the authentication method of my mail server to Pop before SMTP. I do not know why the username/password doesn't work - it does work with Outlook Express. I would rather use the username/password method, but atleast things are working now.


That's really strange, since elog does not do any pop at all. So "pop before SMTP" won't help. The elogd message log in the previous message seems truncated to me, you should get something like

In your case there should even be more than that due to the authentication (our sever does not use username authentification). Maybe you have an error there in the authentication.
  1916   Mon Aug 28 15:44:38 2006 Question kcminkcmin@mchsi.comQuestionWindows2.6.2Entry Submission Help
I actually have two questions.

1. When an entry is submitted is it possible to have it return to the submit page instead of a summary of the entry. In the ELog.cfg syntax on the site it mentions something about this. However It says something about a file being present in the resource directory. I am not sure what to do here.

2. When you submit an entry is it possible for the fields to stay set to the value that was selected on submission of the last entry. You would need to still be able to change them though.

I'm playing with the configuration files in order to produce a "minimal" form.
At this time, I did not succeed in removing the following components:

- the "Fields marked with * are required" field
- the "Entry time:" field
- the "encoding ELCode / plain / HTML" field
- the "preview" button
- the duplication of the Submit/Preview/Back buttons on the top and the bottom of the page.

Is any of this possible?

This is handled by
Required attributes = ...

so just remove this line completely if you don't need them.

These fields are always present and cannot be turned off. If you are concerned about screen space (PDA\?), you can change the CSS file for smaller fonts etc.

You can hand-write a HTML file which gets displayed after submission, but that's probably not what you want. Unfortunately there is no option to go back to the submit page, so you have to click New again. If you want to enter a bulk of data, you can also do a CSV import. Maybe that's easier for you. Just write a comma-separated-value file, and import it via "CSV Import".

The Duplicate command was made for that. Just select an entry which is close to your new one (might be the last one entered), and click Duplicate. This gets you to what you want.

Hi all,
Before all, i would say that ELOG is simply one of the best web-based program
Simple and fast
Just one day to configure it for our firm with multiple groups and so on ^^

So, my last problem is in the Email format
I know the use "use email heading" and other, but i would like to configure the body of the mail, where there is the link, the name of the author, etc.

I wonder if it could be customized
thank again for this soft, and good continuation

Following options can be used to format the email body:

  • Use Email heading = ...
  • Use Email Subject = ...
  • Email attributes = ...
  • Email encoding = ...
  • Email format = ...

Probably the last one is the one you are looking for...
