icon5.gif   Email notification does not work, posted by Dinesh Bapat on Wed Aug 10 03:18:05 2005 
I have SMTP server that requires authentication

Whenever a new user 'self registers' to E-log, I get an automated email saying so. Hence, the SMTP setting are correct and working.

However, for any entry made to log, no email notification is generated. error '5.5.4 Invalid Address'

suppress notification checkbox is 'unchecked'

Kindly help.
icon5.gif   Long lines in printout, posted by Bertram Metz on Wed Aug 10 10:50:55 2005 
Hi,

long lines in an entry are not printed correctly (the lines are cut off), if the text is encoded as plain text. This works correctly, if the text is encoded as ELCode. I tried this with Firefox and Internet Explorer. Does anybody know a solution for this?

Thanks,
Bertram
icon5.gif   Changes in Comment and Elog Index page?, posted by ralphb on Wed Aug 10 11:28:30 2005 
Just updated to ELOG V2.6.0-beta4 from V2.5.6-2 and I note a couple of changes:

- HTML code inculed in elog.cfg "Comment" lines were previously rendered, now they are not. e.g. "Comment = Some comment
<A href="http://somedomain.com/some.html" target="_top">&nbsp; Some link text</A>" Is this change deliberate, or is the functionality likely to return? Any workaround?

- The "Several logbooks are defined on this host" elog index page was previously collapsable, now it is not. Same questions as previous.

Thanks & best regards,

Ralph.
icon5.gif   Email Notification and Icons, posted by Mario Apodaca on Mon Sep 19 19:48:07 2005 
I have two questions:

1) When sending out email notifications, is there a way to surpress the entries that have been left on the logbook? I want to be notified that someone has posted, but not receive the posting in the email.


2) Is there a way to set icons to users, so that each user has a defined icon? I set up a new attribute called: Author Icon and then tried using conditional attributes to have an icon set to a specific user. When I tested by posting, in the Author Icon section I didn't have an icon, instead a text box appeared with the name of the icon.

Thanks in advance for your help.
icon5.gif   Can I turn off emoticons?, posted by Dan Chitwood on Wed Sep 21 04:24:43 2005 
Is there a way to not use the emoticons, but at the same time use the ELCode?

An example would be to add a slash before the emoticon code like this: /:)

Thanks,
Dan
icon5.gif   Conditional hiding of attributes in list view, posted by Yoshio Imai on Thu Sep 22 11:34:46 2005 
Hi!

All here are amazed by how quickly this software has evolved since we
took our first look into the world of electronic logbooks.

In order to use it as our shift logbook, however, we have one request
which is in principle the same as that of Juliana Peng
(http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1280). We want to have the usual
maintenance/admin/problem report entries of the shift crew in the
same logbook as the automatic entries from our runcontrol software to
clearly see cause and effect when analyzing the beamtimes later. Of
course, the run entries have different attributes than the shift crew
entries. So, it would be nice to have the conditional "Show attributes"
function extended also to the list view.
I understand that the attributes layout might then change from line to
line, but since we have only two sets of attributes, that would not
matter (to us). Would you consider implementing this function (i.e.
evaluate the conditions and hide attributes also in list view),
if not by default, then maybe as an option of the config file?

Another nice feature (which we do not explicitly need, just a suggestion)
might be implementing a filter function in list view, such that only entries
with certain attribute values are displayed.

I have also found one possible problem, maybe it's already solved in the
newest version: We have set up the elog under an stunnel, but the elog
server also responds to the original port (i.e. 80), displaying the logbook
selection page and from there even the login screen. Only after logging in
the elog server redirects the client browser to the https-page defined with
the URL-statement of the config file. The whole thing seems like an unwanted
behaviour, but could you change it so that it either doesn't respond on the
wrong URL at all, or at least redirects to the secured URL before presenting
the login window, so that we transfer the passwords encrypted?

Cheers

Yoshio

    icon5.gif   Re: Can't use the command-line client, posted by David Spindler on Tue Oct 4 19:40:27 2005 
I have a similar problem. I am using Windows version, and whenever I use the elog client to send entry, it will not take with MOptions set. I usually have 2 attributes required (both MOptions), and I get the message that it is missing a required attribute. When I use ROptions, or Options, it works fine. Is there a problem with MOptions, or am I perhaps using a badly formatted commandline?

Commandline as follows: C:\elog>elog -h IP_ADR -p 80 -l gbld -u username password -a Type=Other -a Operator=SCADA -a Category=Controls -a Subject=Alarm "Please ignore."

Type and Category are required and MOptions.

Below is the pertinent part of the config file:

;***** Attribute Section
Attributes = Log Date, Operator, Type, Category, Engine, Work Order #, EPN, Fuel Tank 1 (A&B), Fuel Tank 2 (C&D), Engine Hours Stop, Engine Hours Start, Email To, Subject

Comment EPN = (Equipment Piece Number)
Comment Fuel Tank 1 (A&B) = (West)
Comment Fuel Tank 2 (C&D) = (East)

MOptions Type = Alarm, Trouble, ESP, Haz. Wx.,Problem, PM, Routine, Load Test, Other
MOptions Category = Engine, Generator, Controls, Fuel, Oil, HV Switchgear, MLG&W, Other
Options Engine = All, 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 1C, 2C, 3C, 4C, 5C, 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, A Bus, B Bus, C Bus, D Bus, A&B Busses, C&D Busses, West Gen (001), East Gen (002)

Required Attributes = Type, Category, Subject

If time permits, I would appreciate any help possible.

BTW, I like the additional elcode.
