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

Hello

I was wondering if there is any possibility to let the user decide which columns to show/download in the search results? We have quite a lot of fields and it would help the usefulness of our elog a lot.
(If there is an obvious possibility that I missed I'm sorry).

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I'd like to use ELOG as personal work logbook and database with search facilities

(e.g. record work progress, updates, plots, results, meeting schedule, outcome, TODO, etc...).

I will use it ONLY on my laptop, and I'd need to read the files when I don't have internet connection too.

I have no need to retrive files from elsewhere with a Web Browser, and I'd prefer not to open ports on the laptop.

Would this be feasible?

What's the setting I have to specify in elogd.cfg file?

Is there an example of such a ELOG use you could provide?

Thanks a lot

Sara

 Thanks Stefan,

I've properly set the firewall, and access is forbidden from outside. But when I don't have internet access, how could I open my database?

Furthermore: how it is possible to change the "demo" title ? and what's the procedure to open other databases?

Thanks again for helping

Sara

Hi,

is there a way to set default preferences for text in entry text window, as regards : font type, font size, line spacing, paragraph, etc...

Thanks
