Substitutions in "Email all" do not work, posted by Ben Shepherd on Tue Aug 15 12:19:55 2006

Hi,
I've got a logbook set up to report faults in an accelerator. It's set up so that when a fault is reported, there are options to specify which technical groups should be notified, and an email will be sent to all those people. That works fine. However, I also have a field "Cc", which should send an email to an additional list of email addresses. So my config file (in part) looks like this:
Email "Technical Groups" Magnets = xxx@dl.ac.uk,yyy@dl.ac.uk,zzz@dl.ac.uk
Email All = $Cc
However, ELOG does not send anything to addresses specified on the Cc line. When I remove the addresses from the first line and submit an entry, ELOG reports an error sending mail, something like "RCPT (recipient) must be specified". So it's obviously not making the substitution in the "Email All" line. Is this a bug?
cheers

Substitution was not enabled for email addresses, but I added this for you. It's in SVN revision 1712 if you build elog yourself from the SVN, otherwise it will be contained in the next release. |

Great! Thanks very much. And quick too! Any idea when the next release will be available? Is there a mailing list I can sign up to to get notifications? |

You are on the mailing list  , there is only this list. But you can check out the SVN version as described in the documentation. |

That's really strange, since elog does not do any pop at all. So "pop before SMTP" won't help. The elogd message log in the previous message seems truncated to me, you should get something like

In your case there should even be more than that due to the authentication (our sever does not use username authentification). Maybe you have an error there in the authentication. |

Entry Submission Help, posted by kcmin on Mon Aug 28 15:44:38 2006
|
I actually have two questions.
1. When an entry is submitted is it possible to have it return to the submit page instead of a summary of the entry. In the ELog.cfg syntax on the site it mentions something about this. However It says something about a file being present in the resource directory. I am not sure what to do here.
2. When you submit an entry is it possible for the fields to stay set to the value that was selected on submission of the last entry. You would need to still be able to change them though. |

new entry form - "minimalist" approach , posted by frederic poncin on Mon Sep 18 16:53:09 2006
|
I'm playing with the configuration files in order to produce a "minimal" form.
At this time, I did not succeed in removing the following components:
- the "Fields marked with * are required" field
- the "Entry time:" field
- the "encoding ELCode / plain / HTML" field
- the "preview" button
- the duplication of the Submit/Preview/Back buttons on the top and the bottom of the page.
Is any of this possible?
