this patch should fix the problem .. a little bug still remain, if you insert some allowed HTML tags in the subject this is detected by is_html() so the Display Attribute and the Link is not applied .. the result is that the HTML is working but no elog featur is applied


Your line
if (p && strchr(str, '>') && p >= str && *(p-1) != '\\')

in the code does not work. If the pattern is at the beginning of the string (p == str), then (p-1) points to an invalid location and can cause a segmentation fault. The correct patch is in CVS.

Using the [code] elocode should be intended also to preserve the tagged text from beeing parsed as html or elcode itself ..

this is an example:

MD5 Fingerprint = 23:A7:AD:33:3C:08:BE:2A:62:6E:85:DF:B8:00:23:40


Thank you


As you can see, your entry with the [code] section is now shown without interpretation. So everything between [code] and [/code] is not interpreted as ELCode tags. The modification is committed to CVS.

Nice!

Thanks Stefan, I will test it when I'm back from my holiday. Only problem is that this change is also in a
beta version of elog (more "beta" than usual)

Perhaps it is not in this state when I'm back :)

have a nice holiday

Best regards
Michael

This is not completally true IMHO .. better, it is, but it is not the only problem.

Elog seems to speak HTML/1.0, where "host:" is not implemented ... Since ELOG does not support Vhosts I think the right beaviour is to remove the "Host:" header at all ...


So I remove the Host: ... line at all, I hope this is ok with everybody.

I added the option "Email attributes = <list>" for that. So you can specify

Email attributes = UA, Pri, Status, Oppdragsgiver, EpostTil, Tittel

which also sets the order of the attributes. The cange is in CVS.

Cannot stat() config file; No such file or directory.


I do not know what exactly is going on. This error occurs during runtime when elog tries to check if the config file (usually elogd.cfg) has changed. It checks if the file is there on startup, but apparently it is there, otherwise elog would not start. Then it checks about once per second if the file access time has changed. If so, it rereads the file. This way changes to the file become valid immediately, without restarting elog. The fact that elog has access to the file on startup, but not later, is somehow strange. Maybe you lock this file with an editor, or it is on a network drive which gets disconnected, or the permission changed after the startup. Something in that direction.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the great work. We have been using elog for a year as inventory management.

Now we have a long list of attributes in our logbook, some of those we want to keep in database for record, but we don't want to see them because they are not used very often. I tried the "Show Attributes". my conf is like this:

Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description, Main Function, Location, Memory, CPU Speed, Num CPU, Owner, Contact Name, Contact Phone, Contact Email, Bought From, Bought Date, Maintenance, Network Drop, Console Drop
.
.
.
Options OS = SunOs{1}, Linux{2}, Aix
{1} Show Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description


but it seems only effective when adding the new entry. All the attributes will show in logbook. Is there a way to hide some of the attributes? It would be good to let each user to choose what to see what not to see, create their own view. Can you put it on your to-do list or wishlist?

Thanks
