 | Ben Waugh | waugh@hep.ucl.ac.uk | Question | Linux | 2.6.3-1762 | Setting From: for registration/password e-mails |
We had a problem, as mentioned in the documentation, with "new password" e-mails being rejected because the default From: address is invalid, so we changed this using "Use Email From".
According to the documentation, "By default, the email address of the currently logged in user is used for the "From:" field. If no user is logged in, or the current user has not specified a email address in the password database, the setting of the option Use Email From is used for the "From:" field."
However, when an address is specified in "Use Email From" we find that all e-mail notifications, even those sent automatically when a logged-in user submits a log entry, are sent from this address.
How can we set a valid address for use for "change of password" or registration e-mails, but still use the appropriate user's e-mail address for log entries? |

Right. The logic in the program and the documentation disagreed. The program uses the "Use Email From" address always if it's there, while the documentation gives preference to the user's email address. I change that in the program so that it agrees with the documentation. The modification is in SVN revision 1789 and will be contained in the upcoming next release. |

Actually I had to change it once more. Some installations do want to have always a pre-defined email address, such as this forum, which uses noreply@psi.ch. So I added a new option Default Email From. The precedence is now in decreasing order
- Use Email from
- user's email address
- Default Email from
So only when a user is not logged in, the Default Email from setting is used if present. |

| Tobias Bagger | tobiasb@trashmail.net | Question | Linux | 2.6.3-1762 | Preset of a drop-down box entry with a "%" character |
How do I preset a drop-down box entry which contains a % character?
I use following lines in the elogd.cfg:
Options list->ta = K - 0%, S - 10% (text a1), F - 20% (text a2)
Preset list->ta = K - 0%
The documentation says:
If a preset value is given for an attribute which has an options list, the preset value is selected in the drop down box by default.
But this doesn't work for me. I also tried
Preset list->ta = "K - 0%"
Preset list->ta = K - 0%%
Preset list->ta = K - 0\%
without success. What's the right way to do this?
Best regards
Tobias |

The problem was that '%' is used in auto-generated preset tags like XYZ-%Y-%b-### (see documentation). I made the auto-generation a bit more clever such that it only tries to interprete any '%' if there is any '#'. The fix is in elog version 2.6.4. |

 | Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Info | All | 2.6.3 | Version 2.6.3 released today |
Dear ELOG users,
ELOG version 2.6.3 has been released today. It contains all the bug fixes, security fixes and a few new features collected since the last release which was actually almost half a year ago. The changelog contains all the details.
Due to the security fixes it is recommended to upgrade from any version prior to 2.6.3. Please note that the location of all password and log files has been moved from the main elog directory to the logbook directory. This means that after upgrading you have to move your password file manually, otherwise you cannot log in any more. This modification was requested because some ELOG installations (especially ones with top groups) can now have a read-only main directory.

| herman | hvwintoronto@yahoo.com | Question | Windows | 2.6.3 | Preset reply date to nothing |
How do I preset the reply date to an empty box(es)?
In 2.5.x it worked as
Preset on reply Plan Date = ""
gave me an empty date, which is what I wanted. Now in 2.6.3 I get some date in there (...1969) and have to
manually set it to empty again ?
Thanks |
