Just use groups as written in the manual: https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#groups

Hello, Is there any way to organize logbooks in some kind of tree with sublogbooks or just have a subdirectories in a logbook directory on the filesystem (treat it as a sublogbook if its name is different from 4 digits of year and pin above all the entries in a list) to structure entires a bit?

Attached the shell scripts using awk and sed how I have migrated two separated logbooks into one single and how I re-adjusted certain attributes.

icon4.gif   Trouble on Catalina, posted by John S. Haggerty on Fri Nov 22 02:55:50 2019 

I decided to rebuild elog 3.1.4 in Catalina (MacOS 10.15.1), XCode 11.2.1.  As in previous builds, I needed to add to the Makefile pointers to openssl:

CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

LIBS += -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib

The make builds cleanly, no errors, no warnings.  After make/make install, elogd segfaults immediately.  I saw the same behavior with the version in gitlab.  I kept my (very) old build and was able to make install it without recompiling and it still works.

I'll crack out the debugger when I have a chance to get more information, but has anyone else seen this problem?

The Makefile is kind of obsolete, I switched to CMake. So the Makefiel is mostly there as backup. To compile elog, do

elog$ mkdir build; cd build
elog/build$ cmake ..
elod/build$ make install

that should also find your openssl library, since CMake is more clever.

I personally have not yet switched to MacOS Catalina, since I have too many 32-bit programs running there and wait until all of these get updated. Only then I will be able to test elog under Catalina.

icon4.gif   text wrapping broken in firefox, posted by Devin Bougie on Thu Dec 19 16:28:06 2019 
When creating new logbook entries, recent versions of firefox somehow ignore the message width setting.

For example, configure a logbook with:
Message Width = 76
Message Height = 20

Then, create a new plain text entry that contains very long lines.  The text entry box is the correct size, but once you hit submit and view the full display of the message, it is not wrapped properly.  The summary display is wrapped properly, but not the full display.

We've only found this to be a problem with recent versions of firefox.  Chromium, Safari, and old versions of firefox behave properly.

As an example, I created this same entry in the demo logbook using Safari.  As you can see there, the message is wrapped at the width that I set the text entry box.

icon5.gif   Different behaviours to identical configuration of logbooks for email notification, posted by matthieu heller on Mon Jan 20 13:46:56 2020 elogd.cfg

Dear,

I need to setup automatic email notification using direct send through a office365 smtp server.
This part worked without any issue after setting the right MX record as SMTP host.
As I am working on the configuration file while it is already use, I created a copy of the [GENERAL] logbook to make my tests called [GENERAL COPY] (see attachement and below for the config file).

Surprisingly I manage to send the email without errors using [GENERAL COPY] but not in [GENERAL]. In that case, I get this error message:
Error sending Email via <i>"cta####-####.mail.protection.outlook.com"</i>: 4.5.3 Recipients belong to multiple tenants [AM5EUR02FT024.eop-EUR02.prod.protection.outlook.com]

In that case, I was actually not sending the mail to a mailing list but to myself, a registered user.

Do you see any reason why two identical logbooks (except for the name) would behave differently ?

Best,

icon5.gif   CSS for HTML Mails, posted by Daniel Pfuhl on Wed Jan 22 16:10:51 2020 

Hi there,

we extensively use Logbuch as a change documentation platform.

E-Mail notifications for new entries are very important for us.

Since we store sensible data in our logbooks the server is protected by a firewall.

After the firewall was activated the HTML mails are not rendered by the Outlook Mail clients we use - when they are located in an "external" net behind the firewall. I assume that's because of the css stylesheet which is linked in the source code of the HTML mail.

Is there any chance to include the CSS information in the HTML code? Otherwise we would need to make the CSS accessable from anywhere which requires in turn that the path of the CSS file can be customized.

Any idea how to solved this issue?

Best regards,

daniel
