I've noticed teh same in Outlook and attribute it to MS' attempt to deal with HTML -- this was not an issue until a recent Outlook upgrade at our company.

The problem is with Outlook and MS' email clients.

You probably run two servers in parallel. If you install the standard windows package, an elogd service is created and started. If you open a command window and run elogd manually, you have it running twice, and you never know to which instance your browser connects to. So first start the server with net stop elogd and then open the command window and start elogd manually.

Stefan, any chance of having an option that eliminates the ability of new users to pick the logbooks they can register with? I would like to limit this to the "admin" user to pick per individual.


The logbook list new users can register with is exactly the list the users have access to. So if you omit a logbook there, they can later just go to that logbook, hit config, and add themselves. If you want to prevent a user from getting notifications from a logbook, prevent user access to that logbook, like a new top group.

Not at the moment. It would take days of work which I don't have right now. Much more than what it takes you editing the password file in an editor Wink

Hmm, by default all users have access to all logs. What I have setup is an announcement logbook and I would simply like to send to all registered users the email when announcements happen. My thought was to simply not allow people to pick which logbooks to "register" with and default to the Announcements logbook. I went ahead and hacked the password file and simply set all accounts to subscribe to all logbooks Big grin

Hello,

I try to email by using a email text file to reduce the admin work.
  • MOptions Team = EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA, AMERICA
  • Email Team EUROPE = $shell(type C:\EuropeEmailList.txt)

but i get always Email sent to Shell execution not enabled via -x flag

Is this feature not supported by ELOG or did i use the wrong syntax?

Thank you in advance.

You need to start elogd with the "-x" flag


Yes, i did it. But the problem is still there.
I exactly tried 50 times by submit a new entry and got only 3 times passed. 47 another cases i got:
"Error sending Email via "192.168.2.20": 5.5.2 Need Rcpt command".
I run elogd -v and see:
"Email Team EUROPE to Shell execution not enable via -x flag"



Steve Jones wrote:

Well, it looks like you are getting the text "Shell execution not enable via -x flag" put into the EUROPE attribute then the email server is attempting to send email to the email address "Shell execution not enable via -x flag", which is clearly not a valid address thus the "Error sending Email via "192.168.2.20": 5.5.2 Need Rcpt command".

You need to run run "elogd -v -x" then look for the errors. You also might try a more simpler test like "Preset Team EUROPE = = $shell(type C:\EuropeEmailList.txt)" and then see what is returned. It makes it simpler and removes the email error from the equation.


That's a very interesting idea of setting up mailing lists I never thought about. I tried myself and it works fine. Just as Steve says run "elogd -v -x" to see what happens. Also make sure that EuropeEmailList.txt contains only a single line with comma-separated email addresses, just as you would enter them in the config file.

someone submits an entry with just an attachment (and a Subject).

Thanks, Alan


Actually the submit/edit behavior is controlled by your browser, not by elog. I do not know any mean of how the HTML code could control this independently of the browser. So you have to get used to it Wink

Actually there is one possibility:

Preset Author = $long_name
Required Attributes = Author

This will force the author to be supplied. If one is logged in, the login name will be put into the author field. If
there is guest access, the field will contain "anonymous", so hopefully each guest will change that to the real name...
