You were so close: boolean has the two values "0" (unchecked) and "1" (checked).

 Attributes = Bruger, Station, Emne, Status, PM5
 Options PM5 = boolean
 Email PM5 1 = fj@tvis.net

That does work, I've tested it.

See https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#mirroring

and

https://elog.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html#access

(use "find" with "Export to" "Raw".)

I still don't have a solution to the above, but this works:

Attributes = Bruger, Station, Emne, Status, PM5
ROptions PM5 = Ja
Email PM5 Ja = th@tvis.net, fj@tvis.net

Hello Elog forum

Is it possible to email boolean statements, like if a checkbox is checked to email certain people?

My Configuration looks like this but dosn't work:

Attributes = Bruger, Station, Emne, Status, PM5
Options PM5 = boolean
Email PM5 = fj@tvis.net

Kind Regards

This is a local issue  on your network, if you have a mail server setup. SMTP is not handled directly by Elog and neither is any other mail protocal. Elog just sends the requested email to your server for processing to the recipients afaict. And whatever server (or service) you use to handle email sending needs to be able to accept them from your mail server. So after verifying which ones  you want to use; (like OutLook, or gmail, or whatever), then have your local email server set up to work with them. You can prol have a 3rd party do this was well (instead of your own local one) but then they would STILL need to be able to work with whatever guidlines the actual sender (gmail, hotmail..) requires to have mail sent. Email is a lonnng trail of different providers, servers, and other actors..

Hi Stefan,

Thank you very much for your reply. So which SMTP type can I use now? Is outlook OK?

Kevin

Gmail uses a type of SMTP authentication which is currently not supported by elog. It's however on the todo list.

Hi all,

When I tried to set SMTP server of Gmail in the global configuration file, I get the message "Error sending Email via <i>"smtp.gmail.com"</i>: Cannot connect to server" after I tried to receive the Email notification. Is there anyone gives help to solve this issue?

Thanks!

Kevin
