I have recently upgraded from the 2.6.0-beta (I believe) to 2.6.2-1699. I just found out that on the day I upgraded, email substitution has stopped working. I have checked the discussion area and all the documentation and do not see any clues. The debug_log.txt file shows that the emails are being processed, but the fields are not being substituted correctly.

Thanks, in advance for any help,
David

I have not been able to find anything wrong in my config file, so I replaced 2.6.2 with 2.6.1 (apparently that was what I was running last, not the 2.6.0-beta) and my troubles have disappeared.

Anybody have any idea what has happened?

We are using elog to allow users to enter their time spent on a project and we would like them to be able to see the entries that they themselves have

created but not the entries that other users have created.

Thanks,

Herman

 In that case you have to make one logbook per user and restrict the access to it using the "Login user = ..." directive.

 I understand.

Thank you for the quick response.

Nice idea. I implemented that feature, as can be seen at the contributions logbook for example. It will be contained in the next release.

Thanks!

Thank you for pointing out the method to identify Last Edit as a datetime type so that it will sort properly. I now have created Last Edit in several 
preexisting logbooks. 

I want to use 
Start page = ?rsort=Last Edit
to set the default sorting of each logbook to be by Last Edit. 

However, all of the entries made before I added Last Edit have no value for that field, so they are all grouped together at the end of the sort. So I 
decided to go through the older entries and set Last Edit equal to the original entry date, as a starting value.

I tried to use the command
Subst on edit Last Edit = $entry time
but it gives a "-" for the Last Edit value when I edit an entry. 

I think this is because $entry time is not a variable supported by Subst. Can you add that support, or else tell me if you know a better way to go about 
doing what I'm attempting? Is there perhaps a way to globally process a group of entries in a logbook and set one attribute's value to be equal to 
another's?

Thanks

OK, now I realize how stupid I sound here. To partially answer my own question: $entry time is a string and Last Edit is now a number since I have changed it to the datetime type so that it will sort properly.

So I can't make Last Edit = $entry time. Is there some way I can access the entry time in datetime format so that I can set Last Edit equal to that?

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, I'm confused...
  65884   Thu May 15 19:57:23 2008 Question Dennis Seitzdseitz@cosmology.berkeley.eduQuestion  Is there a way to indicate when an entry has been edited?

 You've probably seen my other posts on this subject.

I want to be able to re-edit some entries but I need some way to know the dates entries were re-edited.

Am I just approaching this the wrong way? Should I disable re-editing of entries and use threads to follow changes by posting replies to an entry?

The only problem with that is that if I make a mistake I will have to submit a new entry to fix it. 

 

Thank you for your advice.

 I would like to be notified by email of some logbook entries regardless of whether the user has chosen to suppress email or not.

This way I will always be aware of new entries, and users will still have the option of notifying a larger group of other users, or not.

As far as I can tell, presently the Suppress Email checkbox overrides Email All.

 

 

If I make "Email all" override the suppress email checkbox, some uses would complain "I check the supporess box, but my admin still gets email, what am I doing wrong here?". So while this works for you, it will not be desired for everybody. I would have to add another parameter just for this request. Couldn't you instead use the RSS feed functionality? This way you well see all entries, independent of the email notification. You can use special RSS feed readers (your browser and email client probably support this already).

 

Hmm, I see your point, but wouldn't using the RSS feed have the same effect? Or are you saying the users just wouldn't know about it, so they wouldn't complain? 

I haven't explored the RSS feed options yet. I'll study them.
