Yes, but if you use -e "text" it replaces the whole entry with "text". So an append option would be really useful...

Hi,

It would be good if when you uploaded an image as an attachment, there was a button next to it that pasted the code
[img]elog:1972/1[/img]
into the log entry. This way, it would be more easy to have inline images in a log entry.

cheers

I want to set up a logbook which you have to be logged in to be able to read entries. I've already got three logbooks which can be viewed by anyone but only logged-in users can modify them. For the fourth one, I want to have a private logbook which can't be read by 'guest' users. Is this possible?


Per default, logbooks can only be read by logged in users if you use "password file = xxx". It is however possible to make these logbooks readable by 'guest' users if you use "Guest menu commands = xxx" and "Guest list menu commands = xxx". So just remove these two options from your fourth logbook and you get what you want.


Thanks! I actually saw that in the config documentation, but I had assumed that it didn't work. Turns out I'd left those two options in my [global] section as well. Oops!

Hi,

I've set up my ELOG configuration to display one summary line in the list view. However, a word from the next line creeps in from time to time. You can see this in my logbook - look at the 'Text' column for entries 805, 802 and 800 for instance. The word 'Shift' is from the second line of the entry, but it has been added to the summary text for some reason. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Hi,

One of my logbooks is a fault reporting system; it emails a group of people when a fault is reported. There is an MOption 'Technical Groups', and I want to have a tooltip for each checkbox which shows who is referred to by each group name. However, individual tooltips for each MOption attribute don't seem to work. I've looked at the HTML code, and there's no 'title' attribute for the checkboxes, so it's not a browser problem. I've attached my config file. Any idea what's going wrong?

The syntax for tooltips is

Tooltip <attribute option> = <tooltip>

but you have

Tooltip "<attribute>" "<attribute option>" = <tooltip>

which is not correct, but would make more sense, since you could have an attribut option being valid for several attributes. So I changed elogd to accept both syntax in revision 2158. Please note that you should not put "quotes" around attribute values or options.

 Thanks! I got rid of the quotes around everything, and it works now.

  67056   Thu Apr 28 09:27:52 2011 Question Ben Shepherdbjs54@dl.ac.ukBug reportLinux2.7.8-2278Hyphens in email addresses

Hi,

I have a user on our system who keeps getting shut out - she can register, but after a few days her login always stops working. The only thing that I can see that's different about her is that her email address has a hyphen in it (firstname.last-name@stfc.ac.uk). I have tried registering myself with a hyphenated email address, and the same thing happens. Any idea what might be going on here? Is eLog doing some sort of automatic cleanup after a day or two, and rejecting a confirmed email address because it's got a hyphen in it?

Thanks

Ben
