  904   Mon Feb 7 09:58:25 2005 Question Anand Senguptaanandss@iucaa.ernet.inQuestionLinux repository of elog configuration files

Hi 

Is there a repository of elog configuration files for newbies to lookup and
learn ? I have seen the 'contributions' elog - useful as it is ... it is not
much. I would appreciate if someone can point out such a site where people
have contributed their elog configuration files.

Thanks,
AnandO.

Have a look at the elog:Config+Examples. The configuration of this Forum for
example is there, covering most of the available options.

  929   Fri Feb 11 15:44:38 2005 Question Anand Senguptaanandss@iucaa.ernet.inQuestionLinux Help with configuration newbie
Hi,

We have set up a elog server at our institute. The configuration file is
attached. We have the following queries:

1. When replying to another reply in a thread, the author_name attribute is
not substitued (as desired). Since this is a mandatory field, we are not
able to send the reply message. However, reply to the originial message
works fine.

2. "Use Email From = string" prepends an additional "" to the "From"
field in the e-mails.

3. "Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject" fixes the subject line while replying.
However when we add "Category" attribute to this list, it breaks.

Can someone help us?

Suggestions and tips will be thankfully recieved.

Preset on reply Author = $long_name

Do not use "Remove on reply".

This has been fixed recently, please update.

I tried to use your config file and add

Fixed attributes reply = Subject, Category

and it worked as expected. What kind of "break" did you observe?

For me, when I put the Category in the fixed attributes for reply, I see the
Category but when I actually try to send the message - it says Category not
entered. I am sure I am doing something very stupid. Please help.

No, it was a bug, which I could reproduce now. I fixed it in revision 1.554. It will
be contained in the next release.
  951   Fri Feb 18 08:43:42 2005 Question Anand Senguptaanandss@iucaa.ernet.in Linux How to import previous emails to elog ?
Hi

We have setup a elog server and would like to import a bunch of emails as
elog entries. Is there some way we can do this ? Since there are hundreds of
emails, it is not possible to post them individually as new elog entries.

Many thanks,
Anand.
