icon5.gif   email subject, posted by Bill Whiting on Fri Mar 7 13:44:34 2008 

Can I control the content of the Subject on an email notification?

i.e. Can I copy the subject from the elog entry into the email subject?

 

Thanks,

//Bill

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!

icon5.gif   e-mail format, posted by Bill Qualls on Tue Apr 1 21:07:39 2008 

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?

icon5.gif   scrollable text section only when viewing a log entry, posted by Bill Pier on Wed Apr 23 01:55:16 2008 

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?

Unfortunately no.

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.

Apparently you downloaded an ELOG page and modified it manually. Can you send me the modified page, it then would be easier for me to implement it (I can shorten "my" trial and error phase..)

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.

icon5.gif   any support of encrypted logfiles?, posted by Bill Pier on Tue May 6 21:40:05 2008 

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
