I don't see any mistake in the configuration file. Did you switch the "Encoding" from HTML to plain? (Radio buttons at the bottom just below the text window). Is there a problem with your FCKEditor? Do you see the formatting menu bar? 

 I do not get the formatting menu with HTML.  I switched to plain and code still exists.  The only formatting menu I get is when I choose ELCode.   I have no problem with this forum seeing the formatting menu with HTML (although it does take some time to load).

 It's version issue!!   2.92 does not utilize FCKeditor correctly.  Backed off one version and it works fine!  2.91 is GOOD!

Actually I can confirm a similar issue with 2.9.2:

when I create a new entry with the default "HTML" encoding and then swap to "plain", the text area is cluttered with HTML code (see attachment new_entry.txt)

I did notice it, but I did not pay much attention to it. But I agree is should be fixed. But in my case it could be related to a firefox add-on "It's all text" that uses java script to modify the HTML code.

Hi there,

It seems that by default in a message created as "reply" of another message, the "quoted text" of the original entry is put at the _TOP_ of the new entry and not movable (Firefox 17, elog 2.92). I would strongly like to have it opposite, i.e. that one is able to create a new text first and only then has the "quoted text" since people are interested to see a new information and only then the previous messages as sort of "reminder". It was like this in older (2.6?) version but now I did not find how to change this default behavior. Did I miss something?

Cheers

I use plain encoding, cannot answer for the others but it should do the trick as it's in the documentation.  I'm using Firefox some large number and 2.9.2.-2475

I do what I believe you want, and get it by having the following line in my config file for that logbook (which is part of elog.cfg):

 Prepend on reply = \n

This gives a blank line at the "top" of the entries when you start a reply, and all the previous entries gain another "> " unless you've also altered that default behaviou (as in fact I have).  The result then looks like:

Latest line of text

> Previous entry

> > Previous entry to that

Hi all,

I am trying to set up elog here at the University of Minnesota.  It looks very promising for helping to manage a fairly complicated operation.  I've got most of what I want set up without too much difficulty.  However, I find that I'm having some difficulty to get it working properly with email.

In particular, I have my account set up to email me when log entries are made (subscribe to logbooks option is selected).   In the global section of my elogd.conf file I have set up the variables:

SMTP host = factoryserver5
SMTP username = factory

However, when I make a test entry, I get an error at the top:

Error sending Email via <i>"factoryserver5"</i>: 5.5.1 Error: authentication not enabled

I tried setting the password using "elogd -t" but to no avail.  I also tried a few different values for SMTP host

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

 

Cheers,

Satish

There are several SMTP authorisation options, and only a subset is supported by ELOG. Have you tried without the "SMTP username"?

Stefan

If you use HTML encoding, you can do that with

Prepend on reply = <br />

to achieve the same thing (as I did just here in this reply).

Devin Bougie wrote:

Hello,

Is there still a limit of 50 attachments per topic?  If so, is there or could there be a parameter to change this setting?

Thanks,

Devin

The limit is defined in elogd.h:

#define MAX_ATTACHMENTS   50

I never thought that someone wants to have more than 50 attachments, since it will take forever to upload them. You can change the value on your own risk and recompile elogd. At some point you will run out of stack space, in which case elogd will crash, but you could increase the heap memory with a linker option. Just google for it.

 

Best,

Stefan

It did not work. However if I write in the chrome browser:

file:\\external_computer\directory

It works.

Thank you so much!!

 

A link to a local file inside a web page does never work on purpose. Malicious web pages could otherwise get access to your local password file for example which would be a huge security hole. You have to copy the link address explicitly into your URL bar of the browser.
