Yes, I can help with that: you've tried to put the picture into the text body. Try to make it a normal attachment, that'll work always.

SMTP host = ...

MUST be set in the [global] section of your configuration - it will likely not work when you try to set it for a specific logbook.

I don't see how ELOG can send an automatic email after a date expired.

I am not sure I understand your bug report.

I can easily create IDs greater than 100'000 (see attached picture), but that is not your problem, or is it?

Cheers, Andreas

Well, in my example the ID link worked just fine.

There could be a string length limitation, but it could be as well the way you are creating the ID that is the source of the problem: I would need the part of your elogd.cfg that defines how you format your ID in order to try to reproduce your problem.

An attribute is similar to a variable. Do you know any programming language that allows to start a variable with a digit? I don't.

The solution is very obvious: start your attributes with a letter.

Here's a little example for a query for this logbook:

You can easily process this output with perl, to create reports. I use it for example to create counts for specific enties, like "Bug reports" that are not "closed", and show the results in some other user interfaces.

Hi Janusz,

You can change the following line in elogd.h and recompile:

#define MAX_N_LIST      100
That'll change the login user list limit. But it'll change other list length as well - which should not do harm unless you are very short of memory.

I don't see the Admin user list limit of 10 - aparently that is hard coded somewhere deep within (or I've just missed it).

Cheers, Andreas

Hi Stefano,

it is not directly foreseen in the web functionality of ELOG, but it can be done like this:

You could have a second logbook that has the content of these files each in one logbook entry. 
You call a script "Execute edit =" that runs on the server and converts the specific ELOG entry into a file on the server.
Of course this is a security vulnerability, but you can confine the possibilities of the script.
E.g. to a hard-coded list of ELOG entries and files in a specific directory.
Still, someone could place a file on the server and then calls that file with an "Execute edit=" himself.
But if you do all this within a protected network that should be okay.

I do like the idea, thank you for the question! If you manage to do it please post it under Contributions :-)

Cheers, Andreas
