Can I have an RSS feed to a protected log book? Does it also require authentication, or does it bypass it? If it bypasses it, how do I disable RSS?

Thanks,
Chris.

The quick attempt I just made to use this doesn't do what I want, which is to require password protection for the Analysis logbook selection page.


This indeed is not possible and you have to use top groups for that.

But i found a bug or something like that. I installed elog on win2003 and winxp with default settings. And everywhere i had same problem - when forgot password is used it kills elogd. Error what is reported in EventLog is "Faulting application elogd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module elogd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0002f1ee." and thats all. For testing tried newest beta too but it seems to have same problem.
i can insert my email address and when i click submit it wait's for some time and then gives 404.
But tried under linux (gentoo) and everything works like charm.


I tried with the current version under XP and found no problem. Can you try 2.6.0-beta4?

well, here's the problem that i had: my charset (koi8-u) was specified in elog.conf for every logbook, but this had no effect, and all elog pages continued tu appeared as iso-8859-1 (which is the default) when i specified charset in the global section, the problem's gone away.

2do: i think it's worth testing how does it work whet charset specified for a separate logbook overrides globally specidied charset

elog version that is in use: 2.5.7 from debian sarge 3.1 r0a powerpc


The documentation clearly states that the "charset" option is under the [global] section. I put it there since it does not make much sense to have separate charsets for separate logbooks. Or do you have one Russian, one Japanese and one Swedish logbook on the same server? Maybe for an international language school Wink

I can easily put it into the individual logbook's config, but only if more than one person requests this.

Dinesh Bapat wrote:
I have SMTP server that requires authentication

Whenever a new user 'self registers' to E-log, I get an automated email saying so. Hence, the SMTP setting are correct and working.

However, for any entry made to log, no email notification is generated. error '5.5.4 Invalid Address'

suppress notification checkbox is 'unchecked'

Kindly help.


Turn on logging with

Logfile = elog.log

then you will see all communication betwen elogd and the SMTP server in the logfile. You probably will see the source of the error there.

Can you post an example here? If I try a

 long line, it's shown correctly. You just have to scroll right in your browser.

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.


ralphb wrote:
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

I have several logbooks with Comment lines,
but the tooltip shows sometimes the correct comment,

I see the same behaviour also on this very page...

I use Mozilla 1.7.10.
Tried with Konqueror -> same problem.


Should be fixed in the current CVS version (see this page)
