icon1.gif   Empty mxml directory in commit a6e5962, posted by Christine Quicot on Tue Jan 31 17:49:16 2017 

Hello,

I wonder if it's normal that in the sources files, new created mxml directory is empty.

In commit # a6e5962 4 files are deleted but not moved:

- src/mxml.c
- src/mxml.h
- src/strlcpy.c
- src/strlcpy.h 

 

Thank you

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

icon5.gif   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 ?

- 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

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

 

Thank you

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.

icon7.gif   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 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
