icon5.gif   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

ben
icon5.gif   reply option in elog client not working, posted by Gerald Ebberink on Tue Aug 22 11:31:11 2006 
When I try to make a reply with the following command

elog -v -h hostname -p 80 -l 'logbook wannabe' -u 'guess' 'what' -a 'Phase=During Measuring' -a Author='Gerald Ebberink' -a 'Subject=Octave measurements' -n 1 -f '22-Aug-2006 boxplot hole sizes of panel2SqTop.jpg' -f '22-Aug-2006 boxplot hole area of panel2SqTop.jpg' -f '22-Aug-2006 boxplot POA of panel2SqTop.jpg' -f '22-Aug-2006 boxplot hole sizes of panel2RTop.jpg' -f '22-Aug-2006 boxplot hole area of panel2RTop.jpg' -f '22-Aug-2006 boxplot POA of panel2RTop.jpg' -f '22-Aug-2006 boxplot hole sizes of panel6SqTop.jpg' -f '22-Aug-2006 boxplot hole area of panel6SqTop.jpg' -f '22-Aug-2006 boxplot POA of panel6SqTop.jpg' -f '22-Aug-2006 boxplot comparison of POA.jpg' -r 65 'Automated addition of measurment results (png)'

In verbose mode I found that the main difference is that
with the -r option it wants to go to the following url
Location: http://host/logbook/

and without it goes to
Location http://host/logbook+wannabe/66

my best guess would be that it should also point to logbook+wannabe
icon5.gif   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.
icon5.gif   Email substitution quit working, posted by David Spindler on Tue Aug 29 15:28:51 2006 
I have recently upgraded from the 2.6.0-beta (I believe) to 2.6.2-1699. I just found out that on the day I upgraded, email substitution has stopped working. I have checked the discussion area and all the documentation and do not see any clues. The debug_log.txt file shows that the emails are being processed, but the fields are not being substituted correctly.

Thanks, in advance for any help,
David

icon5.gif   Why are Preset fields blanked out?, posted by Steve Jones on Thu Sep 14 22:59:39 2006 
The snippet of code below sets an attribute to a date depending on the selection. Problem is, if attribute ApprovedDate was previously set, selecting any other value for CRStatus will blank out ApprovedDate (the same occurs for CompletedDate). Why would this be occurring when the conditionals are mutually exclusive?
##################################################
# Define CRState
#
Options CRState = PENDING{a}, APPROVED{b}, HOLD{a}, REJECTED{a}, COMPLETED{c}
{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date
icon5.gif   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?

icon5.gif   "Supress Email Notification" checkbox, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Sep 18 18:36:07 2006 
Is there a way to allow email notification but have the "Suppress Email Notification" checked by default? We had complaints about the enormous amount of email so I turned off email notification for edits/replys, but there are times that I would like to allow email to be sent out -- this would imply allowing email by unchecking the "Suppress" box.
icon5.gif   Invalid addresses block email notifications, posted by Dimitrios Tsirigkas on Mon Sep 25 15:30:48 2006 
Hi Stefan,

We have had problems with some users who subscribe for elog notifications using fake email addresses. When this happens, e-mail notifications stop working for all users and I have to find out which is the problematic email address and fix it myself. Is this a known problem? Is there a fix in a version newer than 2.6.1?

Thanks,
Dimitris
