icon1.gif   Author in duplicate message, posted by Silvia Borghi on Mon Aug 14 11:45:32 2006 
When I ask to duplicate a message, the author of the duplicated message is the one of the original message.
How can I put as author the name of the person that is login?
I tried to use the command Preset on Duplicate Author or Subst on Duplicate Author, but it does not work.

Here is my config:

Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on Duplicate Author = $long_name
Preset on Reply Author = $long_name
Subst on Duplicate Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

Hi,

I've got a logbook set up to report faults in an accelerator. It's set up so that when a fault is reported, there are options to specify which technical groups should be notified, and an email will be sent to all those people. That works fine. However, I also have a field "Cc", which should send an email to an additional list of email addresses. So my config file (in part) looks like this:

Email "Technical Groups" Magnets = xxx@dl.ac.uk,yyy@dl.ac.uk,zzz@dl.ac.uk
Email All = $Cc

However, ELOG does not send anything to addresses specified on the Cc line. When I remove the addresses from the first line and submit an entry, ELOG reports an error sending mail, something like "RCPT (recipient) must be specified". So it's obviously not making the substitution in the "Email All" line. Is this a bug?

cheers

ben

Substitution was not enabled for email addresses, but I added this for you. It's in SVN revision 1712 if you build elog yourself from the SVN, otherwise it will be contained in the next release.

Great! Thanks very much. And quick too! Any idea when the next release will be available? Is there a mailing list I can sign up to to get notifications?

You are on the mailing list Wink, there is only this list. But you can check out the SVN version as described in the documentation.

This was not implemented so far, but is a good idea. So I put it into SVN revision 1713. You either get the SVN update or wait for the next release of ELOG.

Okay, I got it working but I had to change the authentication method of my mail server to Pop before SMTP. I do not know why the username/password doesn't work - it does work with Outlook Express. I would rather use the username/password method, but atleast things are working now.


That's really strange, since elog does not do any pop at all. So "pop before SMTP" won't help. The elogd message log in the previous message seems truncated to me, you should get something like
Email from stefan.ritt@psi.ch to stefan.ritt@psi.ch, SMTP host mail.psi.ch:

In your case there should even be more than that due to the authentication (our sever does not use username authentification). Maybe you have an error there in the authentication.

Conditional attributes have been made working in email notifications sometime in version 2.6.0. You might have to upgrade to the recent version, but then it should work.
