Hello,

I've just set up an ELog server for my research group. (Running on Debian, package version 2.6.1+r1642-1)

I have a question about the email notifications. I read through the config file documentation, but couldn't find the answer (maybe I am just unobservant\?) Is it possible to have the email notifications contain only the title of the log entry (as well as the usual attributes), but not the full text or any attachments? I have users who are worried about their email going over quota from ELog's emails, but who nevertheless would like some kind of notification when new log entries are posted.

Thanks in advance!


Have a look at the option Email format = <n>


Ah, thank you! Somehow I overlooked that. My apologies, and thanks for your very fast response.
icon5.gif   Is there (planned) support for <A NAME> and <HR /> in ELCODE?, posted by Kevin McCarty on Thu Apr 26 16:43:45 2007 
Hello,

I am wondering if there is any support (or if not, if it is planned) for inserting HTML <a name> and <hr /> tags via ELCODE. This would be useful for long log messages in order to provide a table of contents and divide them into clear sections. If this support already exists, I'm afraid it is not obvious to me how to access it in ELCODE. If it does not yet exist, would you consider a patch for it?

As a related issue, to support <a name> usefully, it will also be necessary for ELCODE to support things like [url=#tag], which it currently converts to <a href = "http:///#tag"> instead the expected result of <a href = "#tag">.

(Please send me replies also by email at kmccarty AT princeton DOT edu, as I don't check this forum often.)

Thanks for writing ELOG; our group has been using it very productively on our server for the last few weeks.

best regards,

Very good idea. The horizontal line
is already implemented via [LINE] and the anchor tag will soon follow.


Wonderful, thanks!

icon5.gif   some menu commands formed with broken links, posted by Ken Ludington on Tue May 7 22:15:37 2013 
On many of my logbooks when I specify the menu commands to appear i will get one, usually 'List', which has a
link not back to the logbook itself but to the root of the elog web server i.e. http:/hostname.domain:8080 
But nothing will respond without the logbook name after the port number.  This also seems to be happening to the
"back" submit button.  I can't seem to figure out how to address it.  Suggestions?

Here's the global section and the logbook section for one of the logbooks affected.  Of note, the 'demo' logbook works
fine and does not have this issue.

icon5.gif   resending information confirmation box after refresh interval, posted by Ken Ludington on Mon Nov 16 20:42:15 2015 errormsg.jpg

After submitting a new post, if the page is left completely alone,, it will after a few minutes prompt that the page needs to resend information.

This is the same prompt you'd get if you attempt to refresh a page that had session variables passsed to it. Example is attached.

Is there something in my config that could cause this?   This is a fresh install of the latest verison however my elogd.cfg file has been migrated throuh many installs over many versions, so it's very possible this is something following along.

thanks.

Hi,

"Default encoding" appears to have the default value of 2 (HTML) instead of 0 (ELCode) as documented in http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html
