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

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)

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.

A common mistake is to think that "Author" is some kind of keyword: it is not.
You can use any defined attribute, if you want to use "Author" this attribute needs to be defined in the "Attributes=" command line.
Attributes = Author, ...
Then you can use the "Preset" command.
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name


I've just tested it with 2.9.0-2435 and it works fine.
If the following 4 line minimal logbook configuration does not work for 2.9.1, then please post again:
Attributes = Author
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

Cheers
Andreas

Thanks Andreas,

That cleared up a lot for me. With your information I was able to figure it out. I got rid of the Author and just went with Name, and now it all works good.

Again, thanks for your help,

The wrong sorting is a mystery to me. I redid what you have, and entered exactly the same entries, and got following:



As you can see, the sorting is quite different. What happens if you reload the page, what if you restart elogd?

As for the missing validity check for the date field, all what was missing was the year check. I added that.

Stefan, I think it has something to do with version 2.57-1. Yesterday evening I installed V2.60 and there was a big difference. All entries of Logdate were changed in 1-jan-70 and when entering/editing an entry I now get the calendar and clock. So everything, including sorting, looks good now.

Thanks
