Sounds to me like a good idea. I will put it on the wishlist. |

No, this is not implemented. The only way you have right now is to make two separate logbooks, one for guests and
one for registered users. But I know this is not an optimal solution. I will think about it. |

 | Bertram Metz | bmetz@sbs.com | Question | Linux | 2.6.1-1622 | Email notification (bug tracking system) | Hello,
I'd like to use ELOG like a bug tracking system. I've created an attribute with the name AssignedTo. The attribute type is set to userlist. The value of AssignedTo is set to the full name of the selected user. There is no simple relationship between the full name and the email address on our system. Is it possible to get the email address of a user from the full name?
Attributes = Author, Category, Hardware, Software, Subject, Keywords, Status, AssignedTo
Options Category = Bug Report{1}, Observation{2}, Other{3}
Type AssignedTo = userlist
Show Attributes = Author, Category, Hardware, Software, Subject, Keywords
{1} Show Attributes = Author, Category, Hardware, Software, Subject, Keywords, Status, AssignedTo
Required Attributes = Author, Hardware, Software, Category
Options Status = new, open, confirmed, closed
;the following line does not work, since $AssinedTo contains the full name of the user
Email Category Bug Report = $AssignedTo@company.com
Kind regards,
Bertram |

 | Mark Bergman | mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu | Request | Linux | 2.6.1 | suggestion for "new user registration" page | I'm testing elog, and one user was having difficulty creating a new account for himself. This problem had three reasons:
1. the user expected a "submit" button or some other way to exit the account registration screen to appear near the password boxes, at the bottom of the page.
2. I'm using the "Bottom text" option, which has a URL to execute a "find" (search) within elog for all open tickets. The user simply entered the info for their new account, and then clicked on the button at the bottom of the page--which would be the expected behavior.
3. In our environment, there are many logbooks (~100), as each computing device has it's own logbook. This isn't a problem on the main page, since the logbooks are grouped into 7 categories. However, the account registration page combines two functions--setting up a new account, and selecting which logbooks to subscribe to for e-mail notification. The logbooks are presented in a list (rather than groups), which causes the "Save" button at the top left to scroll off the screen before the user enters their password.
Suggestions for improving the registration page:
Put a "submit" button after the password entry.
Possibly supress the local "bottom text", or allow the specification of a different file for the registration page.
After the user has registered, then show a page allowing them to subscribe for e-mail notifcation. That page should be organized the same way as the main page, with groups. Users should be allowed to subscribe to entire groups, or to expand each group to select or unsubscribe from individual logbooks.
Thanks,
Mark |

Wow, the RPM build depends on that name? Interesting. I changed it in the SVN version, so it will be contained in the next release. |

| Kevin McCarty | kmccarty@princeton.edu | Question | Linux | 2.6.1 | Email notification question | Hello,
I've just set up an ELog server for my research group. (Running on Debian, package version 2.6.1+r1642-1)
I have a question about the email notifications. I read through the config file documentation, but couldn't find the answer (maybe I am just unobservant\?) Is it possible to have the email notifications contain only the title of the log entry (as well as the usual attributes), but not the full text or any attachments? I have users who are worried about their email going over quota from ELog's emails, but who nevertheless would like some kind of notification when new log entries are posted.
Thanks in advance! |

Have a look at the option Email format = <n> |
