Hi - again a configuration question.

How can I suppress all email notifications? The "Suppress default = 2" flag 
allows me to always produce a notification, but the flag does not provide 
an option to never produce a notification. The flag "Suppress Email on 
edit" does help a bit, but still notifications for new messages will be 
sent.

I'm looking forward to your fast response... So far your support is 
fantastic!

How do you allow users to change password for a given logbook when the user keeps getting prompted for admin password to enter the change password feature?

I have Allow password change = 1 set global and at each logbook hoping that would work.

It allows them to change the password when and only when the user gets past the admin login when clicking CONFIG.

The upgrade was done by just replacing elogd from 2.5.2 to 2.5.4 from the rpm.

Somehow elogd 2.5.4 treat all users as normal user. When clicking on
"config". All admin users has no "change elogd.cfg" button. Revert back to
2.5.2 OK.

Is there anything I need to change to upgrade other than replaceing elogd?
Clearing the cookies didn't help.

Thanks,

HI 
I have setup top group in my elog . I will want to restrict the different 
admin user on the global and the global on top groups .
But however i am not able to use the configuration on "admin user" on the 
global portion to strict admin of top group to access the main global 
config .
Did i configure it wrongly or is there a way?

And for email notification , is there a way which i can select who to email 
it to ? like check box etc.

And is there a way which i can setup the summary page to refresh every 
15mins , so that new entry can be shown ?

And can i make the message id unique , when i move the messages from one 
log book to another log book , the messages id change accorddingly based on 
the number or messages . Anyway for me to make it fixed even i moved to 
another log book , i need the running number still .

Sorry for the many questions
Thanks for your help

How can I show the Delete option for Admins? 

So I have a logbook with the following config:

[Elog]

Admin User = me, otherguy

Deny Change Config File = otherguy

Restrict edit = 1

Restrict edit time = 4

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply,Last Day, Find, Config, Help

Hello Stefan,

I stubbled on a issue with our elog.
We introduced an attribute "mode" to one of the elogs and it breaks the "Find" function as this attribute is already used for the viewing settings "full", "summary" and "threaded".
(HTTP parameter pollution)

I suspect other special attributes used by the internals of elog should also not be allowed.
A quick search in the "Find" reveals these attributes in the URL, so I guess, these should also be avoided.
This list could be incomplete

npp, ma, da, ya, mb, db, yb, attach, reverse, mode

A simple workaround would be updating the documentation to add these to the list of forbidden attributes.
https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html
Maybe a warning can be added, if the elog behaves unexpected, try other attribute names, as they can conflict with internal attributes.

A fix could be to add a prefix for internal attributes, which can't be used for user attributes.

Best wishes,
Sebastian

PS: I also noticed using the "Find" command, the generated URL contains 2 reverse attributes like "reverse=0&reverse=1"
