  2128   Tue Feb 13 15:57:25 2007 Question bobbobgrang@yahoo.frQuestionLinux | WindowsV2.6.3-177About Extendable
Hi,

I have a problem and I do not understand why

my config is

"
{tdl} Show Attributes = De, He, Auteur, Ten, TDL
{tdl} Options TDL = de, fr, gt
{tdl} Extendable Options = TDL
"

I play with {tdl}, i add TDL (toto),

and after that, i open my config:

"{tdl} Show Attributes = De, He, Auteur, Ten, TDL
{tdl} Options TDL = de, fr, gt, toto, toto
{tdl} Extendable Options = TDL
"
And my preview is wrong !!

why 2 * toto thus?

thanks a lot

Bob

Hi,
I still have a question,

is it possible to use : Required and {}

here my program :"
.
{run} Required Attributes = Date evenement, Heure evenement, ...
{run} Show Attributes = Date evenement, Heure evenement, ...
.
.
.
{etuvage & ANS} Required Attributes = Date evenement, Heure evenement, ...
{etuvage & ANS} Show Attributes = Date evenement, Heure evenement, ...
"
generally, can one handle "Required" and "{}" or "{ , }", ...

in any case for me, that does not go
this is normal ??

Thanks
Bob

I tried it myself and did not get two "toto"'s. Maybe you hit "Submit" twice or so? One thing I would recommend however is not to name an attribute "TDL" and a condition {tdl} the same. And also make sure you have the newest version of elog. I remember there was once a problem with the "Preview" button adding extended attributes more than once.

For simple configuration files, that should work. If I have for example:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine{r}, Software Installation{s}, Problem Fixed{p}, Configuration, Other

{r} Required Attributes = Author

Then the attributes "Author" is only required if "Type" equals "Routine".

you are right, I try to re-examine my configuration and I will say to you

I'm having some difficulty configuring elog to ensure that the original author of an entry, any contributors to the thread, and a desginated administrator get e-mail notification for any change to the thread.

Here's a subset of the current elogd.cfg:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Severity, Subject, Entry ID, Status, CC E-mail To
Display Email recipients = 1
Email All = $CC E-mail To
Email All = mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu
Email Format = 47
Suppress default = 0
Type CC E-mail To = museremail

The "Suppress default = 0" setting is used because many people mistakenly subscribe for automatic e-mail notification of all our logbooks when they self-register. I was hoping that the "Email All" directives would override the suppression of default mail.

This configuration works partially...in that if a user specifically selects addresses in the "CC E-mail To" field, those people do get mail.

The documentation states that there can be multiple "Email All" directives, so I thought they would be additive--causing the admin address and the author to always get mail.

Is there a setting to ensure that the original author of the thread is always notified upon any change?


Thanks,

Mark

There can be multiple "Email All" directives, but they have to be on one line, like
Email All = $CC E-mail To, mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu

You can do something like:
Attributes = ..., Author Email
Preset Author Email = $user_email
Email All = $Author Email, $CC E-mail to, mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu
...

An alternative (and that's what I usually do) is to keep "Suppress email to users = 0" and tell the users to remove their subscription if they don't like it. Note that you also can edit the password file manually (it's a XML file), and remove all subscriptions easily with an editor. Note that you have to do that when elogd is stopped, then edit the file, then restart elgod.

Is there a way to suppress the listing of all logbooks on the New User Registration page? We've got 100 logbooks (one for each server, cluster node, or major software package). The long list makes it difficult for users to find the bottom of the registration page, and no user needs to subscribe for automatic e-mail notification for every logbook.

Thanks,

Mark
