there is however now the problem that one has to click Submit twice to make it work

I fixed this problem in the current SVN revision, so now a single click to the Submit button is enough again. 

  66984   Fri Jan 14 00:07:01 2011 Entry JacekKdoctor99@poczta.onet.plBug reportAll2.8.0New entries are not visible from other logbooks based on the same logbook dir through Subdir

Hi,

I have two logbooks based on the same data directory through "Subdir" option and when I add new entry in one logbook, then that entry is not visible in other logbook.

I suppose it is a bug in el_submit function, where I think the new message should be added to message index of every logbook based on the same data directory as the one, where the message was physically created. 

There is a piece of code, which I think should do this automatically

/* if other logbook has same index, update pointers */

but it seems the other logbooks does not have the same index. 

I'm new to elog and the sources are also new to me, so my guess to the ground of the problem may be wrong.

Let me know is this bug possible to fix in near future.

 

Best regards,

Jacek

Well, having two logbooks in the same subdirectory was initially a planned feature but really never worked. I re-visited this issue and made it working in the current SVN version. So the next release will contain the fix.

Is is possible to add formatting (such as <b> tags, etc..) to the "thread display" option?

Is it possible to have many roots with one elogd (or run several elogds), such that you can seaparate different groups or themes from each other:

 

electronics

       trigger

       power

 

 

mechanics

       detector

       support

 

 

 

Thanks.

Have a look at "top groups" in the documentation

 Thanks. I got it working so far. One minor glitch:

I have one topgroup (with 2 subgroups),

  electronics

       trigger

       power

 

and onother topgroup (only 1 subgroup)

 mechanics

   detector

 

 

When I get the login screen for the second (with the only one subgroup) it says in the header:

   "Several logbooks are defined on this host. Please select the one to connect to:"

and below only the one group (detector)  is shown, so actually nothing to select.

 

This may be possibly achieved by not defining a subgroup for the second one and leaving it as a topgroup,

but I don't know how it behaves, when the group admin decides to create a subgroup. Can he do

without requiring superuser or elog permissions?

Hi,

I am setting up an elog to organize my lab activities. I installed elog 2.8.0 on the latest CentOS 5.5, 32 bit. I got into trouble setting up the automated email notification.

According to the elog manual, I setup the smtp setting in the elogd.cfg as follows:

SMTP host = smtp.gmail.com
SMTP username = jianglai.liu
 

I then used "elogd -t" to encode the password into the configuration file.

But when I submit an entry, I always received: "Error sending Email via "smtp.gmail.com": 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. y17sm867489wfd.15"

If I switched to use my university email servers, similar things happened.

SMTP host = smtp.sjtu.edu.cn
SMTP username = jianglai.liu

I got "Error sending Email via "smtp.sjtu.edu.cn": 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: another step is needed in authentication"

I also switched to use one of my old work server

SMTP host = smtp-server.its.caltech.edu
SMTP username = jliu

and ended up with the same error message.

I did a google search on this without much progress. I would appreciate it very much if someone could shed light on how do I fix this.

Thanks much!

elog only supports basic authentication, not TLS or SSL. These days more and more SMTP servers require this however. I will put this on my to-do list. In meantime you can maybe configure your CentOS machine acting as an SMTP server, and then not using TLS or SSL there. That's what most people do.

 Hi, has this problem been fixed? (i.e does ELOG now support TLS or SSL?) Thanks, Oliver
