I found the answer in the docs.

In the config file add

Use Email Subject = Added Text: $subject

This results in the e-mail subject being set to "Added Text: elogentry subject line"

Thanks for a great tool!

I "upgraded" from v2.6.? to v2.7.3.  By "upgrade", I mean "copy all files to a different computer, then run the installer".  e-mail messages received from my v2.6 instance look nice.  The messages look like HTML tables with blue and green coloring.  My v2.7 instance appears to send plain text.  But, when I forward the v2.7 message, the nice HTML tables appear again.  Is there an e-mail formatting setting that I need to change?

Is there a way, option, feature to setup the text section only to be scrollable when viewing a log entry, such that the header (meta info) section stays fixed?

Well, I tinkered a bit with a journal entry display page and found that without having to suggest the flavor-of-the-month web design mantra of "replace table layout with CSS only",  just a few CSS tweaks can enable exactly what I am desiring.

For your consideration, here are the tweaks I made to get a fixed header and footer section with a scrollable journal entry section in the middle:

1. moved the journal entry content and footer line (elog version info) out of the layout table structure, into their own div sections;
2. in the style sheet, added attribute "position:fixed" to the "frame table" section;
3. in the style sheet, added attribute sections for journal entry content and footer div sections:
   1. #content: overflow:auto;position:fixed;top:230px;bottom:30px;width:100%;
   2. #footer:  text-align:center;bottom:0;position:fixed;width:100%;

Now as I'm not a web designer by trade and not intimately familiar with CSS nuances, I used the time honored method of documentation lookup with trial and error.

In any case, it worked and displays exactly the way I wanted; please do consider this for a future elog release.

Yes, you are correct, I did simply take a sample page from logs and tinker with the html and css file, with the changes enumerated previously.  I have attached the tweaked sample html elog log page and css file, along with a few of the standard elog png files to complete the page with some semblance of the normal display.

I'm sure this topic has been visited previously, but a search of this forum didn't show any results.

Is there are support or already proven method of encrypting the logfiles that Elog serves up?

thanks,

Bill

The HTML layout produced by elogd is horrendous to deal with programmatically; I give up.

Hi,

I'm writing a greasemonkey script to slightly alter the look of the pages served by the ELOG server.  One difficulty that I'm struggling with is how to identify what type of page ELOG has created.  While I have several methods to determine the page type, such as a log entry vs. log entries summary, the solutions are not straight forward and not clean.  As far as I tell, there's no specific identification in HTML document currently that describes and identifies the type of page being served by the ELOG server.

So, I'm requesting that the pages created by ELOG be identified in some fashion with the META element, such as:

    <meta name="description" content="elog log entry" />

or

    <meta name="description" content="elog log summary" />

or even using the keywords attribute:

    <meta name="keywords" content="elog log summary" />

Thanks!
