Congratulation Stefan and Co.!

I think Elog is the first Weblog which supports this feature.

The new integrated HTML WYSIWYG editor is great. Now, my colleagues who are in finance department and don't have good IT-skill will be very happy about this feature.

Thank you for your support and effort.

When there are two or more Quick Filters available, and one of them is on the Subtext attribute, once one of the other filters has its value changed the null text for the Subtext selection criterion (namely, "-- Text  --") is used as a genuine selection criterion, thus typically preventing any entries from matching. 

This is for v2.7.0-1961 with both Mozilla 2.0.0.9 and IE 6 on Windows XP Professional SP2, and I think has appeared with this release.  You can demonstrate the behaviour on this forum: 

  • Go to http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/
  • Quick filter on dates in the "Last Month" and nothing is listed.  The URL is now http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?last=31&Subtext=--+Text+--
  • Set the date filter back to "-- All Entries --" and the spurious subtext filter remains; the URL is now http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?Subtext=--+Text+--
  • Delete the "-- Text --" value in the filter box and everything reappears; the URL is back to http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/

Thanks for reporting this. I fixed it in revision 1964. You can test it in this forum.

Have you tried tables in HTML form? Even better! Just switch the encoding from ELCode to HTML (starting from version 2.7.0).

Maybe you could consider setting as default:
Email format = 111


Well, then people will come up and ask: I can see some attachment name in my email, but the attachment is missing, what can I do?. So they would not find the configuration option as you did not, and complain here. You never can make everybody happy Frown

An alternative approach however would be to limit the attachment size. If above 1 MB for example, do not send it. Then make this a flexible parameter (maybe someone wants 2 MB). I will think about that.


Of course you're right. I suggested using "111" because then in email notification there is a link to the attachment.
Which for me is enough Smile. But there always will be someone that's not happy.

Your solution is nice but then attachments will be sent in a bit inconsistent way.
Easier would be to make it more obvious in the documentation.
I don't know put it in the FAQ or something (under: "Why my posts with large attachments are submitted so slowly" Wink).

Best Regards,

Until there is some fix in the way elog comunicates with mailer (if it is possible that is) could we have an option to suppress sending attachments in email notification?


There is such an option:
Email format = 47

This tells elog to send email notifications without attachments. Anyhow I would not recommend to send big attachments as emails, since most email systems won't allow you that. Since the attachments are base64 encoded, the encoding can also take quite a long time.
