HTML code inculed in elog.cfg "Comment" lines were previously rendered, now they are not. e.g. "Comment = Some comment
<A href="http://somedomain.com/some.html" target="_top">&nbsp; Some link text</A>" Is this change deliberate, or is the functionality likely to return?


I had to render the comment, because some people had comments like "PCs > W2k", where the ">" screwed up the HTML code of the page. I added some code now which checks if the comment is real HTML, and reverts back to the old behaviour if it is. The update is in CVS.

The "Several logbooks are defined on this host" elog index page was previously collapsable, now it is not. Same questions as previous.


People complained about the collapsing (it's really hard to make everybody happy!!!). So the page is expanded by default. If you want the old behaviour, add an
Expand selection page = 0

into your config file

Thanks very much Stefan.

Our new server has no gcc so I had to compile it on a sister machine, pending the next RPM release.

By the way, your download page needs an extra line:
cvs -d :ext:cvs@midas.psi.ch:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout mxml
to have a hope of the make working.

Also, it would be nice if the "Installing and running on UNIX" section of the Administrator's Guide also had a set of "Installation from CVS" instructions.

Ah, but you are doing it so well!

Thanks again.

Best regards, Ralph.

Maybe a

icon3.gif   ELOG repository moved from CVS to Subversion, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Oct 7 17:18:32 2005 
The elog repository has been moved from CVS to Subversion for various reasons. Those people who accessed the CVS repository in the past now have to do it in one of two different ways:
  • Use the new ViewCVS gateway. This gateway now can also directly produce tarballs for the current repository snapshot
  • Use anonymous Subversion access:

    svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/elog/trunk elog
    svn@midas.psi.ch's password: svn
    (you might have to enter the password several times...)
    svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/mxml/trunk mxml
    svn@midas.psi.ch's password: svn
    (you might have to enter the password several times...)
If there is any problem accessing the new repository, please let me know.
icon5.gif   Trying to remove "mailto:" from the email address, posted by Matt Kimball on Wed Oct 12 23:59:13 2005 elogconfig.txt
We are using ver 2.5.4. As users enter new requests into the system, they would like email notifications. I have added the $user_email into a "notifications" section that we created. The email address that gets entered is "mailto:user@domain.com". Is there a way to remove the "mailto:"? Attached is my config file.

Thanks
Matt

The "mailto:" is there for good reason. After you submit the entry, elogd converts the "mailto:" into
<a href="mailto:user@domain.com">user@domain.com</a>

so the browser shows the email address as a link. If you click it, the browser automatically opens your email client with the email address already in the "To:" field. The same works in the main text body. So if I put "mailto:stefan.ritt@psi.ch", it gets converted automatially to "stefan.ritt@psi.ch", a feature many people rely on.

Now from your request it looks to me like you want email notifications, so you put
Email System CareWare = ..., $user_email

In that case the "mailto:" gets automatically stripped during the email notification, so the user_email gets entered and will be used correctly for the notification.
icon5.gif   New Accounts, posted by Carl Shirey on Thu Oct 13 19:15:48 2005 
I hope you can help me Stefan.
The problem that I am having is when someone request a account on elog I received e-mail message to activate there account. I click on the link from my e-mail to activate the account it takes me to the logon page. I log on and then I get a massage that the web does not exist.
What I found out was the elog Damon stops, and I have to restart it and everything work fine.
Here is a copy of me Elog config.

Also can you tell me how you set up the Subtext and the Show new entry buttons on the main page of the elog.

Thank for your help
