Hello,

what are the pre-requisites to automatically fill the Author and Author Email fields. The documented method:

Subst Author = $long_name from $remote_host

Subst Email = $user_email

in the elogd.cfg file does not seem to work.

(I see it works here on this platform)

Thank you but that is already  in place. I have the same issue on both Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 and 2019.

If you would post a minimal config file where the problem occurs, then we could look what the problem is.

"Subst xxx" replaces after you submit an entry, while "Preset xxx" replaces before you create an entry. I believe you want the second one.

I am a newbie to being the administrator to ELog, but have used it for a while now. We just updated and have the same issue with the reply now. Unfortunatley I am not much of a programmer, yet, still learning. In our config file it has "Preset Name = $long_name", "Preset Author = $long_name", "Preset on reply Author = $long_name". By looking in the Syntax of elogd.cfg section, it seems to be correct, but I am not sure. Can you give me a suggestion on how it should look? Or tell me why it is not working and lead me in the right direction on how to correctly set it up? Thank you for your time.
