  73   Mon Jul 15 14:09:30 2002 Warning Joeri Mastopjoeri.mastop@knmi.nlBug report  Port specification with -p fails under RedHat Linux (2.0.4-1)
Hello,

I noticed a strange behaviour with Elog 2.0.4 (i386 RPM) in Linux (RH 7.2). 
I started Elog out-of-the-box with portnumber 888 ('sbin/elogd -p 888').

It runs just fine, but appears to listen to port 8080, the default! It 
looks like the -p option on the command-line is ignored.

Anyone seen similar problems? 

Joeri

Probably not if you read the config file, 'cause I didn't. Shame on me...

But what this shows (Stefan: correct me if I'm wrong) is that if you set 
the port number in the [global] section of the config file, the command-line
option '-p' is ignored. FYI...

  75   Tue Jul 16 15:19:08 2002 Question WootenEWootene@gao.govQuestion  change the Email From address used when sending notifications
Is there a way to change the From address used when sending notifications 
from ELOG?   I was hoping there might be another attribute that would go 
along with the smtp host section.

Thanks,
Eric

  77   Wed Jul 17 23:46:01 2002 Question d. nettlesdnettle@lsu.eduQuestion  inserting pictures into a post
does elog have a way of inserting pictures into a post other than including
them as an attachment? i can put a picture in using html text, but this
method only works if the picture is stored on the local server. anyone
placing a post from a remote machine cannot include a picture off of their
machine.
any help?
thanks.

I changed that behaviour, so from 2.0.5 on the command line port setting has 
precedence over the configuration file (as it should be).

Right now it is not possible to easily include pictures into the message body, but I put it on the wishlist. Of course you can always refer to external pictures if you submit your text as HTML and put the proper tags there like this one:

and you can even scale them like

but of course this requires to have that image stored somewhere else. I will probably add a feature like

att:name.gif

which will reference a picture from the attachment, and will be converted to the full picture name after submitting that message.
