icon4.gif   Auto save feature not working on 3.1.0, posted by David Wallis on Fri Jun 5 23:10:27 2015 
Auto-saving does not seem to be working. In the config file, I have the following:

Save drafts = 1
Autosave = 10

Can the chosen text in a dropdown menu be automatically transfered (copied) to this Text box?

No.

OK Thanks

I was trying to save the operator repeatedly typing in standard messages.

There are browser extensions for that like "Autofill Forms" for Firefox. You can even link text templates to a single key.

Why would you transfer the message to the text box?

 

You can have a "Message" attribute, which is an option
list.

If the first option "Custom" is chosen, then you get an additional field "Custom Message".

We have
an attribute "Entry type", there we could add the type "Message", if the attribute should not exist for other types of entries.

Hi Stefan,
could we change the format of the "ELOG Version" field in this logbook, that one can enter the full git revision
number?

icon1.gif   Duplicate: LDAP docs, posted by Stephen G on Thu Jun 4 00:10:32 2015 
This is a duplicate, made by mistake.

 

Could someone point me to the LDAP configuration docs, I searched to no avail.  I'm sure there is some big red ldap config button it,

I had no intention of causing any offence with my lazy archiving comment - hope I didn't, sorry if I did.


No
offence taken :-)


Personally, I would have found it useful to put the attachments into a separate directory - or at least to
allow

the possibility. Elog as it stands sometimes can, and sometimes cannot cope with that functionality - and even to try means messing

icon5.gif   Entry size too large for email notification, posted by Jacky Li on Tue May 19 12:26:39 2015 
Hi,

I am doing an inline image that is about 2.2 MB.  When I do a submit, I got the following message:

Error sending Email via <i>"<email server>"</i>: Entry size too large for email notification.
    icon2.gif   Re: Entry size too large for email notification, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri May 22 13:43:14 2015 
The size is defined by the variable MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH in elogd.c which is set to 10 MB. But email attachments are encoded in ASCII form, so they take
useually 3-4 times the space of the binary format. If you have problems with large emails, you can use the option "Email Format = 111" which
causes only the names of attachments to be included in email notifications. Users can then still click on the elog link inside the email notification and
