For the login to your email sever, the password is encoded in base64 form (actually not really secure). Somehow your server does not support this. Unfortunately I cannot test this without access to your server. But you can try yourself by doing a telnet to your mail server like:
$ telnet <server.domanin> 25
...
$ AUTH PLAIN
With the "plain" method, you should be able to enter your password in plain text (not base64 encoded), and see if that works. If you are successful, I can add this option to elog.
Best,
Stefan

I am afraid you misunderstood Stefan. The lines he suggested to you are not something to put into your config file, but something you have to type on the command prompt in order to communicate directly with the mail server (i.e. completely independent from elog). You may have to ensure that the necessary communication program is installed on your computer.

Grrr. Forgetting to pick an icon means my message was blasted.
I have installed elog 2.7.8 and it is running. When I connect to it and get a login window, I am always denied. If I remove the passwords, then I can login with no password information. I have tried both command line for setting passwords and directly in the elogd.cfg file.
Suggestions on what I might be doing wrong would be appreciated.
Regards,
Ian
PS - are there RESTful interfaces to automate the generation of log entries via an HTTP POST or HTTP GET?

Which password scheme are you using? Is it Read passoword = ... or Password file = ...? If you use a password file (that's what most people do) you have to create yourself an account just as you did for this forum here. There is no other way to enter the encrypted password into the password file. Just follow "To start a new password file..." in the documentation. |

I also changed the version number which is shown at the bottom to 3.1.5.

It looks good for text but I still have problem with "select" function (even in English).
If I use "select" menu :
- When multiple values are selected it indicates "only user - keep original values - can edit" (freshly created).


- When a single value is selected, it indicates "only user XXX can edit" where XXX is my truncated name (the first 4 letters).


After editing in with admin account the author is now my truncated name :

If I want to edit a single entry (without select menu) it works perfectly.
Thanks.

Sometime I need to edit multiple values to add a new choice.
By exemple, if I add a new column "status" (open, closed...) , it's mandatory to use select menu to add the new value to existent entries.
With a lot of lines it's not possible to edit one by one.

| Harry Martin | harrymartin772@gmail.com | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.5 | Re: 3-level conditional not working | Tried a variant, this time for NEW entries (not EDIT), which I meant to do to begin with; sorry if that was confusing.
[cond_test]
attributes = region, manufacturer, model
options region = american{us}, japanese{jp}, european{eu}
show attributes = region
{us} options manufacturer = ford, chrysler, gm
{jp} options manufacturer = toyota{toy}, nissan{nis}, mitsubishi{mit}
{eu} options manufacturer = audi, mercedes, bmw, volvo, fiat
{us} show attributes = region, manufacturer
{jp} show attributes = region, manufacturer
{eu} show attributes = region, manufacturer
{toy} options model = corolla, prius, miata
{nis} options model = sentra, murano
{mit} options model = starion, outlander, mirage
{toy,nis,mit} show attributes = region, manufacturer, model
I'm not sure if my multi-character conditional names are allowed or not, but they do seem to work... somewhat. Note that I even tried a couple different ways of specifying which attributes to show (single versus multiple OR conditionals). The problem now is that all of the attributes are always shown, seeming to ignore the conditionals entirely.

Not sure if this is a bug or not; if it is not, kindly reclassify the category.
Following is a small example of what I will dub a 3-level, conditional logbook:
[cond_test]
attributes = region, manufacturer, model
show attributes edit = region
options region = american{1}, japanese{2}, european{3}
{1} options manufacturer = ford, chrysler, gm
{2} options manufacturer = toyota{4}, nissan{5}, mitsubishi{6}
{3} options manufacturer = audi, mercedes, bmw, volvo, fiat
{1,2,3} show attributes edit = region, manufacturer
{4} options model = corolla, prius, miata
{5} options model = sentra, murano
{6} options model = starion, outlander, mirage
{4,5,6} show attributes edit = region, manufacturer, model
This example is hardly complete, but it is sufficient to demonstrate the issue I am running into. This works until I select from the 2nd level (manufacturer); it won't display the dropdown for the model (I think my show attribute edit is supposed to display that). Is there a restriction on how many levels of conditional I can have? If there is, it would be disappointing because I am trying to do something similar to this example.
I hope there is something very simple I can do to correct this, or perhaps a completely different approach that accomplishes the same thing. I'd like to stick with the multi-level selection process as I have done here.
I am running elog 3.1.5 on Devuan Chimaera (approx. Debian Bullseye, sans systemd) in a Virtualbox VM.
