I am running into problems when I try and use the

Use Email From = $user_email 

setting in my individual logbook configs. I had to set this field as I set a 

Use Email From = real_email_address 

in my global config so that the email would be sent out by the
CommunigatePro mail server.

When I made those changes though the mail was not sent and I got the
following errors in the elog log:

It looks like Communigate Pro doesn't like what is being put in the From as
it complains about the syntax. 

I tried the same elog.conf file on my laptop which uses a qmail server as
its SMTP and the mail was sent ok but I got mailto appearing in the from
header. I saw that elog:333 reported a similar problem but this was listed
as fixed. This is the headers from a message sent by the qmail server:

Hey, elog made it to SOLEIL! You know, we run it here at the SLS...

There was indeed a bug which only happend when switching to French! Some
javascript code contained

confirm('Erreur: l'attribute .... ')

So the "'" in l'attribute finished the string and Javascript stopped working. I
changed the quotes to

confirm("Erreur: l'attribute .... ")

so it works now. The new version is under CVS.

Hi,

I am very much interested in using elog as a shift logbook for SOLEIL
accelerators.

I tested most of the options. Every thing works well except the conditional
attributs when French language is selected. In this case, I lost the
selected list option in the Field Equipement.

Here a simple exemple for testing.
NB: tests were done using the last and before last elog version.

I switched the language from English to French in Global options

Attributes = Accelerateur, Equipement
Options Accelerateur= Linac{1}, LT1{2}
{1}Options Equipement= cannon, section1
{2}ROptions Equipement= Alimentation, Diagnostics

I guess this is a simple bug since this problem does not exist for other
languages.

Best Regards,

Laurent Nadolski

No it isn't. Not everybody wants it. So you have to do it in the way you
outlined it. Also have a look at http://midas.psi.ch/elog/faq.html#11

Is there an inbuilt way to find the last entries changed in an elog?

I could add a "Last Mod" attribute and then config "Subst on edit Last Mod =
$date", but it occurred to me that this functionality might already be in
this wonderful tool somewhere, but I just haven't found it yet.

So, is it?

Best regards, Ralph.

Thanks Stefan! That was exactly what I was looking for!

> Is there any way to automatically export the logbook(s)? 

Kind of. You can use "wget" under Linux (use cygwin under Windows to get wget
under Windows). Then issue a

wget "http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/forum/?cmd=Search&mode=xml"

and you will get an XML export. Same works with CSV export. If you put that
command in cron, you have this on an automatic basis.

Is there any way to automatically export the logbook(s)?
