the new link "show only new entries" is very useful but seems to still have some problems:

  • I can't find any simple way to return to the "every entries" display .. may be the link has to be switched to a checkbox to be actived or not
  • I found a way (at least)... following the "config" link, doing nothing and coming back restores the view .. this is a feature now, but when a less tricky mechanism will be implemented will become a bug Tongue


I added a "Show all entries" link to go back.

another entry for my wishlist:
writeing the above code I noticed that the elcode buttons are lacking of a "[ *]" shortcut .. it will be very usefull Smile


I added that to elcode.js . So if you click on the list button, the (LIST) tag and the the first (*) are inserted.

Writeing the wish above I noticed that the [ *] is interpreted as an item also otside the LIST tag .. so .. or the LIST tag is optional, or the [ *] should not be interpreted outside of it ... it's another bug ? TongueP


Well, the ELCode stuff if a poor man's version of HTML. So each [ LIST] gets converted into a <UL> tag, and each [ *] gets converted into a <LI> tag. This makes the interpretation very simple, but the code does have no clue if your are inside a [ LIST] or not. Common bulletin boards have exactly the same problem. To fix it, you would really have to interprete all the ELCode, and I don't want to write my own parser.

Just tested the rev 1.686 .. now the link is displayed, but following the "Show only last" link the "attach=1" setting in the URL I use is removed, not being able to have inline attachment in full view. They are displayed again when turning back to "Show all entries"


I tried to fix this in the current CVS. Can you give it a try?

There is a little difference in the way elog treats attachment's display in list and single message view...
It has to be, but some beaviours can be seen as bugs:

  • this is a real bug (see attachment).. if a file is referred inside the text (as shown in elcode docs) it is correctly not shown when in single message view, but it remains visible both inline and as attachment in the full list view
  • it would be nice for the user having, as in the single message view, the possibility of show or hide a single or all the attachements of a single message ..


I removed attachment displays for all views if the image is referenced inline. A potential problem is that it might confuse people. During submission (and later during editing), they see an attachment at the bottom, but the link at the botton is not visible in normal display. If they want to extract an inline image into a file, they have to know that there is a "Save image as..." in their browser. So let's see how many people complain.

I just shifted our elogs to a new server and in the process upgraded to the latest debian version which is 2.5.9+r1674-1. I am just wondering how to change the default for the text body area from "elcode" to plain text? I can't see anything in the admin configuration syntax guide and the HTML default = 2 option no longer seems to work.


The HTML default option has been replaced by the Default encoding option, with which one can set the default encoding style to plain text (Default encoding = 1).


John Habermann wrote:
Also is there anything in particular that you have to do to get the elcode editor to work. Although the elcode buttons appear highlighting text and clicking on them doesn't actually do anything although it works fine in my browser when using these elog forums. I don't get any errors in mozilla but trying it in IE under cxoffice gives an "error on page" message in the bottom of the browser.


The ELCode editor requires the JavaScript file elcode.js to be present in the scripts directory under your elog root directory. Future installations will handle this correctly.

The installation did not include scripts directory. Where can I download the elcode.js file?


I said future installations will handle this. This feature is still in beta becaus it's not finished completely. You can get the elcode.js from CVS.

I just downloaded and installed beta2 and most of my questions have been answered. I now have a new question: What are the possible settings with the 'Default Encoding' flag? Can I please get a rundown on this one as the config syntax page does not list this one. Thanks in Advance.


The config page does list this one, but you have to access the online one since I have no access to modify the one you have on your hard disk Wink

How can I turn off the formatting controls above the message text when making a new or reply entry? I included the flat 'Default Encoding = 1' in my config file, but it seems to have no effect.


You need the current CVS version which has this implemented, or you wait for the next official release.

The log has been set up to suppress all email notification, as SMTP is not being used at my location (MS Exchange Server is being used).


MS Exchange Server has and SMTP server inside, I use this all the time.

Also How can I turn off the icon selection panel to the left of a new message text box?


By clicking on the smiley on the top row next to "FONT".


Gary Clayson wrote:
And, finally, is it possible to turn off the Suppress Email notification checkbox AND not send emails?


You can put a
Suppress email to users = 1
into the config file, but the checkbox will still be there, but non-functional. Maybe I should remove it in that case...

PS Reworking the source code, then recompiling it, is not a viable option for me at this time.


You are not supposed to rework the source code, but if you want the cutting edge features, you need to recompile from CVS or wait for official releases.
