I would like another Attribute called "When" whose value is calculated from Today's Date - Appointment date (so for example I could display today's appointments in red...). This calculation has to take place each time the logbook is displayed...
Possible? Useful? |
No.
ELOG is an electronic logbok and should not be used as a full calendar application. There are much better packages for that, like PHP groupware. Better use one of those packages. |

| Could the "Copyright:" line in the elog.spec file be changed to "License:" for the next release? Without this change an RPM can't be built on FC4 (RPM 4.4.1). With the change, rpms can still be built in Enterprise linux 3 (RPM 4.2.3). |

Wow, the RPM build depends on that name? Interesting. I changed it in the SVN version, so it will be contained in the next release. |

Hosts Allow and Password File, posted by Jeremy Perkins on Wed Jun 21 18:36:06 2006

| I'm trying to set up an elog that uses a password file using the "Password file = /blah" directive as well as the "Hosts allow = myhost.mydomain" directive. I used the -v command and watched the messages and elogd is recognizing that I am connecting from an allowed host but the login page is still appearing. Is there a way to use both of these? |

You misunderstand something. The "Password file = ..." statement turns on user level access, that means each user has to log in and identify himself this way in a unique way (so that you know who wore a certain logbook entry etc.). This has nothing to do with the "Hosts allow/deny" statements, which works separately. So if you combine "hosts allow" with "password file", this means that only users from the password file can log in from certain hists, but they still have to identify themselves with their username and password. If you want to log into a logbook without supplying a password from certain hosts, then you remove the "password file" statement. But then anyone from that host can write logbook entries, so you loose the user identification. |

Use Email From = <string>, posted by Dimitrios Tsirigkas on Wed Jul 19 12:20:34 2006

Hi all,
My users have complained about the multiple "I'm away from xxx until xxx" automated replies that they get when they post an entry and notifications are sent with their email in the "From" field. I would therefore like to always use the address specified in the Use Email From line of the configuration file and never the user's address. Reading from the documentation:
The option Use Email From = <string> is used for the "From:" field in the email. Since more and more email servers do not accept invalid "From:" addresses in order to reduce spam mail, it might be important that a "real" email address is used in the "From:" field. By default, the email address of the currently logged in user is used for the "From:" field. If no user is logged in, or the current user has not specified a email address in the password database, the setting of the option Use Email From is used for the "From:" field.
Is there a way to override that default and always use the setting of the option Use Email From?
Thanks,
Dimitris |

Yes, I had the same problem with this forum.

Sure. You override the default by setting the Use Email From. In the forum I set it now to Use Email From = noreply@psi.ch which is a nonexisting address. While now this is ok, our former email server did not accept this because the user noreply does not exist at our institute. So you have to figure out if this works at CERN. |

Thanks, Stefan! I misunderstood the documentation, thinking that the Use Email From option value was only used if the user submitting the entry had not registered an e-mail address when creating his/her elog account. This works fine.
