Any idea how to get the HTML format email back?

It looks strange but when I copy and past the message, like I did here,  the HTML format is OK, but not when I receive the email in Outlook. This used to be OK with the previous version.

Nothing has changed in Outlook

Is there a way to add a button to the elog interface which would execute a python command?

Error: Missing required attribute "Category" 

Please Notice that I've put quotes around : -u "username password" ( the documentation shows that this is not necessary) .  But now it failes to see a required attribute.  

When I leave out the quotes in the -u part , it just hangs despite the -vvv on the server console and the -v option  used in the elog command line. Nothing happens. No output at the server debug screen. 
I'm Not using SSL , nor have i used a certificate. It's just a good old  plain html server. ( As far as i can see )

This is the main section in my config and the section I want to change :

  66944   Wed Nov 24 07:47:25 2010 Question Adam BlandfordAdam.Blandford@dsto.defence.gov.auQuestionWindows2.8.0-2339How to overide the Date attribute?
Hi I have a logbook where I want to override the default Date attribute. I would like to set it by default to the entry date but enable the user to modify to a different date if desired. This is for entries that pertain to an activity performed on a date different to the entry date. To acheive this I have created an attribute called "Subject Date" and used preset = $date. In general this works but I would be happy to take any other suggestions on how to acheive it? Also, how do I remove the fixed "Date" attribute from the logbook summary page? I have tried: List = ID, Subject Date, Type, Subject in the config file but this doesn't appear to work? Thanks in advance! Adam
  66945   Wed Nov 24 10:40:41 2010 Question Christoph Kukulieskukulies@physik.rwth-aachen.deQuestionLinux2.8.0-2313Don't see login page - Self register = 1
Hi,

I'm trying to configure Elog such that users can self-register. But no luck so far.
I cannot get the login screen. I'm connecting to a logbook (and I can do this without logging in).
Shouldn't I get a screen to login/register?

Here is my elogd.cfg:
[global]
Port=8880
Password file = /usr/local/elog/logbooks/passwd
SMTP host = smtp.mydomain.de
SMTP user = kuku
Logfile = /usr/local/elog/logs/elog.log
Admin user = kuku other
Login user = abc def ghi
SSL=1
URL=https://www.mydomain.de:8880/
Self register = 1
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help

Admin user = me@mydomain.de
[Demo]
Admin Password = 9lVlUsigs4neBt9xnX44YYQay15Yu9PyLC9hK6sifI9
Attributes = Author, Status
[Linux]
Admin Password = 9lVlUsigs4next9PnXShhQQa515Yu9PyLC9hK6sifI9

  66949   Wed Nov 24 15:06:31 2010 Question Mariusz StakowskiMariusz.Stakowski@asseco.plQuestionLinux2.8.0New password file problem

Hello,

I'm new to elog. I've installed it under Slackware 11. Everything worked smoothly until I wanted to establish access control. I followed the steps described under Access control heading in Syntax of elog.cfg chapter. I specified a new password file name and the following steps with no problem. After having created a new user I stopped elogd  and added  Admin user to config file. And here is my problem - each time I want to login to elog, I get "Invalid user name or password!" message. The meaning of it is obvious. So I have repeated all the steps several times. Of course I paid attention to enter user name and password correctly but I can't get rid of this message. For sure I making something wrong, but what it is ?

Here is part of my elogd.cfg:

[global]
Port=8080
Logfile = elogd.log
Logging level = 3
Password file = passwd
Self register = 1
Admin user = eloga
charset = utf-8
 

Here is what happens after elog restart:

elogd 2.8.0 built Oct 22 2010, 11:04:31 revision 2313
Falling back to default group "elog"
Falling back to default user "elog"
Falling back to default group "elog"
Falling back to default user "elog"
ImageMagick detected
Indexing logbooks ... Converting password file for logbook "Demo" to new encoding ... ok
done
Server listening on port 8080 ...

 

Here is the password file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- created by MXML on Wed Nov 24 13:13:43 2010 -->
<list>
  <user>

    <email>Mariusz.Stakowski@asseco.pl</email>
    <email_notify/>
  </user>
</list>

And here is what I found in elogd.log file:

 

24-Nov-2010 13:50:06 [] Server listening on port 8080 ...
24-Nov-2010 13:50:53 [eloga@xx.xx.xx.xx] {Demo} LOGIN user "eloga" (attempt)

 

Could somebody help me please ?

Best regards

Mariusz Stakowski

I see only Save Back Change Password Remove User in Config Menu.

How can I create a New User?

[global]

The documentation is mentioning a Config Menu and a New User item there.

Hello,

I have a problem when I try to edit an existing entry. I want to add an attachment. I can upload an attachment to the existing entry, but submitting it does not seem to work. The  added attachment is not visible. But it exists in logbook directory. The only way I found to add it, is to use "Resubmit as new entry" which is not quite what I want. Is it a design feature or perhaps I'm doing something wrong ?

 

Best regards
