Hi

I've just upgraded to 2.7.5 mainly because I wanted to have Museremail sorted.  We use this to list contacts on an RFC form and it's much easier to find the ones you want when they are in a predictable sequence.  As an extension to this it would be great if they could be sorted by the last part of their real name - typical user, give him a sweetie and he wants jam on it!

cheers

Steve

 I would like to be able to substitute some attribute values when an entry is duplicated. I don't see Subst on Duplicate available in the cfg file syntax. Can you add that?

 

Thanks

Hello, I'm having problems with e-mail notifications.

When I try submitting a new post, I get the following error:

Error sending Email via "smtp.glocalnet.net"

The error message doesn't give a lot of hints...

My config file contains the following lines:

[global]
SMTP host = smtp.glocalnet.net
SMTP username = rhj764h@tninet.se
SMTP Password = xxx

...

[BugZ]

...

Email All = somebody@gmail.com
Use Email From = theproject@kato.homelinux.org

 

The password was created by invoking elogd with the -t option containing the true password. I've tried enter the correct password manually in the config, but the error message is the same.

Below follows a cut&paste of the console output when invoking with the -v option (addresses manually edited to avoid spam):

I can't make any sense of this. Please advise.

An update:

I got rid of the version from the Ubuntu repo and installed the latest source release instead (2.7.5-2130).

 

The error is now a little bit different:

Error sending Email via "smtp.glocalnet.net": Syntax error in parameters or arguments to MAIL command

 

A snippet from the console output:

Hi Stefan,

In the past I have requested the "mark whole thread" feature, not yet implimented.  At present, I 
edit (in my case) the icon on the first entry to indicate current status of the thread.  I have 
had an idea connected to this.

If you view a page, in threaded form, and collapsed, the header of the first entry of each thread is 
shown.  The order, however, is that of the timed order of the latest entry in that thread.


As an option, under the same circumstances (threaded, collapsed), if the header of the most recent 
entry was shown, then that could also be an indicator of closed thread, or of "marking whole thread" 
option (maybe would be enough for those who desire those features).  It also gives an indication of 
the current status of the thread without having to edit the original entry of the thread to edit 
(for example) the icon. 

Just a thought on how to improve a wonderful program ;-)

Hi,

Is there a way perhaps of implementing an email recall feature into E-Log? In other words, to recall an email before the recipient (s) read the email originating from the e-log. Something perhaps along the lines of what exists in something like Outlook.

Thks in advance.

Regards,

Niall

Dear Stefan,

First of all, I appreciate that you made such a nice program. I've used elog for more than 5 years and it was wonderful experince to me and my research work was very productive with this.

I have a suggestion to you to improve this while I was using elog. If users can add texts or comments for each attachment, it will be great.

I am not sure if someone was already suggested this or it is already in your wish list.

Thank you.

 I just found out that email notifications only worked for the first 50 users of this forum. So if you registered only recently, you might not have received any notification. This was a bug inside elogd which I hope to have fixed now (this entry notification will show...). If you get the first notification and do not want this, log in to the ELOG Forum, click on "Config" and remove the checkmarks from the logbooks you do not want to get notifications.

  66291   Thu Apr 9 10:39:34 2009 Idea W.KosterW.Koster@rug.nlRequestLinux | OtherV2.7.5-213conditional attributes
I'm (ab)using elog as a database and would like to use conditional attributes, like:

Attributes = PC Name, Operating System, Version, Distribution
Options Operating System = Linux{1}, Windows{2}
{1} Show Attributes Edit = Operating System, Distribution, PC Name
{2} Show Attributes Edit = Operating System, PC Name, Version

Problem is that there are several conditions and the list of attributes is rather long. Also, since it's a
rather dynamic environment I have to make new attributes all the time, and adding them to all "show attributes"
 lists is not only tedious, but bound to cause errors as well.
 

So... 

I was thinking, would it be an idea to make the list of attributes to be shown or hidden on a per attribute base.

 

Like:

Attributes = PC Name, Operating System, Version, Distribution

# hide specific attributes
Hide attributes = Distribution, PC Name

# or configure which fields should be shown allways
Show Attributes = Operating System, Version

# add attributes based on OS
Options Operating System = Linux{1}, Windows{2}
{1} Show Attribute Edit = Distribution
{2} Show Attribute Edit = PC Name

(just thinking out loud here).
