Worked like a charm.  Thanks again.
icon5.gif   Each day new logbookfile, posted by Ben Weyn on Mon Jan 11 09:55:52 2010 

I have installed Elog in a Windows-environment. It's working fine, but i get a new logbookfile each day. Is it possible to have all entries in 1 logbookfile?

icon5.gif   Setting From: for registration/password e-mails, posted by Ben Waugh on Fri Feb 16 12:08:19 2007 
We had a problem, as mentioned in the documentation, with "new password" e-mails being rejected because the default From: address is invalid, so we changed this using "Use Email From".

According to the documentation, "By default, the email address of the currently logged in user is used for the "From:" field. If no user is logged in, or the current user has not specified a email address in the password database, the setting of the option Use Email From is used for the "From:" field."

However, when an address is specified in "Use Email From" we find that all e-mail notifications, even those sent automatically when a logged-in user submits a log entry, are sent from this address.

How can we set a valid address for use for "change of password" or registration e-mails, but still use the appropriate user's e-mail address for log entries?
icon5.gif   Substitutions in "Email all" do not work, posted by Ben Shepherd on Tue Aug 15 12:19:55 2006 
Hi,

I've got a logbook set up to report faults in an accelerator. It's set up so that when a fault is reported, there are options to specify which technical groups should be notified, and an email will be sent to all those people. That works fine. However, I also have a field "Cc", which should send an email to an additional list of email addresses. So my config file (in part) looks like this:

Email "Technical Groups" Magnets = xxx@dl.ac.uk,yyy@dl.ac.uk,zzz@dl.ac.uk
Email All = $Cc

However, ELOG does not send anything to addresses specified on the Cc line. When I remove the addresses from the first line and submit an entry, ELOG reports an error sending mail, something like "RCPT (recipient) must be specified". So it's obviously not making the substitution in the "Email All" line. Is this a bug?

cheers

Substitution was not enabled for email addresses, but I added this for you. It's in SVN revision 1712 if you build elog yourself from the SVN, otherwise it will be contained in the next release.


Great! Thanks very much. And quick too! Any idea when the next release will be available? Is there a mailing list I can sign up to to get notifications?
icon3.gif   Append option for elog.exe, posted by Ben Shepherd on Tue Aug 22 10:41:42 2006 
Hi,

Would it be possible to add an 'append' option to the elog.exe client program? I would like to be able to write a simple script for adding images into a logbook - i.e. right-click in Windows and click 'add to log', or click a button in LabVIEW or Matlab and have an image immediately added to the last log entry. There would also have to be an option to either return a list of entry IDs, or just append to the last entry. Is this possible/likely?

cheers

Can we please have an option to turn off the thing that changes smileys automatically into pictures?

cheers

  • Submit your entry in plain mode (insted of ELCode)
  • Put a \ in front of anything which is turned into a smiley, so ;) gets converted into Wink, but \;) does not get converted


I realise that's possible, but things are getting converted into smileys that aren't intended to be smileys. Specifically, when I enter a question in brackets, the end bracket is converted into a smiley. (Like this?) should be (Like this\?). That is very annoying, and to be honest, I don't need the smileys. An option to switch them off would be the best thing.
