... which isn't particularly illuminating.


This is the BASE64 encoding of the subject. It was discussed here and I implemented it according to RFC2047. All subjects I receive look fine in Outlook and Thunderbird, but not under Pine, which apparently does not implement the RFC correctly. One could of course put a switch into elog to encode it or not. But as soon as you want to send some non-ASCII characters (like the Norwegian as described in the thread mentioned above) you have a problem. Maybe you can configure your email client correctly to interprete the encoded subject?


Apparently the pine people think they're implementing it correctly. Indeed the default subject, "[ISO-8859-1] New ELOG entry" appears just fine. The one for membership confirmation, and anything set in Use Email Subject, however, is borked as above. Maybe the pine bug is something that can be worked around with something simple (like spaces after the ISO spec, or something? Some things work just fine, as I said.

Thanks,
Chris.

Hi,

Our elog is going to be taking some large attachments. I've disabled the attachments from going out in the email, but I'd like email recipients to know that the post has attachments associated with it. Is there a mechanism to do this already, or would it be an enhancement? I'm looking for something like:

Email Notify Attachments = 0 | 1 | 2

Where 0 = no notification,
1 = number only,
2 = list

... independent of whether attachments are included with the email itself.

Thanks,
Chris.


I added Email Format = 64 for only attachment names. So you could set Email Format = 111 to get everything except the full attachments.


Thanks for this. Will verify as soon as someone posts to the (now live) logbook.

Hi,

Just as our ELOG went into production, I tripped over a couple of related (I think) bugs.

First, the easy one: line 21368 of src/elogd.c has a compile warning which looks non-benign. I fixed it in my local copy with:

Index: elogd.c
===================================================================
RCS file: /usr/local/cvsroot/elog/src/elogd.c,v
retrieving revision 1.739
diff -r1.739 elogd.c
21368,21369c21368
< sprintf(str, "?fail=1", user);
< redirect(lbs, str);
---
> redirect(lbs, "?fail=1");

Regardless (ie if I use the original CVS code or the patched version), a hard-to trace problem occurs with my configuration whereby users are denied access after password entry at the logbook selection page (even when details are verifiably correct), and users are dropped through to the next (non-protected) Top Group page. This problem goes away if "Protect Selection Page" is turned off.

A kind of "shadow" of this problem occurs if you create a new logbook from the Change Config File page, whereby after creating the new logbook one is dropped through to the next Top Group's selection page after saving the configuration (and the url has ?fail=1 added to it, althoguh line 21368 above is hardly the only place where this could have occurred).

I think all these things are linked. I'd be grateful if you could review this section of this code for possible causes of these problems. While we can operate for now with non-logged-in users able to see our list of logbooks, that is not something we want for the long term.

Thanks for your help,
Chris.

Stefan Ritt wrote:
One note I would like to make however: "Top groups" were invented for having completely separate logbook groups. Before the invention of top groups, one had to run several instances of elogd for different departments for example, where one department should not see the other department's logbooks. But having many departments means having to maintain many elogd daemons. This led to the invention of top groups, so one daemon can serve several independent groups, each having their own [global] section, with probably their own administrator.

In your case however, it would be more applicable not to use top groups, but use nested groups. Like
Group MiniBooNE = Analysis, Miscellaneous
Group Analysis = Charged Current Pi Plus, Neutral Current Coherent Pions
Group Miscellaneous = demo

I presume this is more what you want, and you can avoid some problems which arise from top groups.


The quick attempt I just made to use this doesn't do what I want, which is to require password protection for the Analysis logbook selection page. If you think that *is* possible and I just didn't configure it properly, I'd appreciate pointers. In the meantime though, your bug fixes appear to have solved my top group / password problem and I think I'll proceed with that for now.

Thanks again,
Chris.
  1390   Fri Aug 5 16:17:00 2005 Question Chris Greengreenc@fnal.govQuestionLinux2.6.0b4How does RSS interact with password protection?
Can I have an RSS feed to a protected log book? Does it also require authentication, or does it bypass it? If it bypasses it, how do I disable RSS?

Thanks,
Chris.
  1891   Sun Aug 13 10:30:40 2006 Question Checker Andersonchecker@checkeranderson.comQuestionWindows2.6.2Cannot get email to work at all, configuation problem?
I an new to elog and the only thing I cannot seem to configure correctly is my SMTP information. Here is a sample of my config file:

SMTP host = checkeranderson.com
SMTP username = Checker@realchecker
SMTP Password = eWFod2Vo

I host my own mail server which uses authentication and my password was set using -t on the command line. With SMTP host = I have tried smtp.checkeranderson.com (which is how my mail program puts it) and mail.checkeranderson.com which is how my DNS server has it. The user name and password are correct. When I edit or reply to any topic I get the message "Error sending Email via "checkeranderson.com"" I have struggled with this for hours and I know I must be missing something that would be obvious to anyone else. Can anyone help me?

Okay, I got it working but I had to change the authentication method of my mail server to Pop before SMTP. I do not know why the username/password doesn't work - it does work with Outlook Express. I would rather use the username/password method, but atleast things are working now.
