So this never made it into the download area ?  elog-latest.tar is elog-3.1.5-1 and contains no files from 2024 or 2025 .

Thanks

Thanks Stefen!

I built from source (ELOG V3.1.5-3a5f2f00) and I confirmed as fixed.

Thanks to your stack trace, I found a case where a string might get overwritten, but only if the attachment file name is longer than 256 chars. I fixed the code and made a new RPM:

Alternatively, you can compile from sources. Give it a try.

icon5.gif   email notification to a specific adress, posted by Etienne Van Caillie on Sun Dec 22 16:49:20 2002 
I have some problem with email notification
for some logbooks I would like to notify only to specific adress
I try
Email All = adress1, adress2

Elog send well at 'adress1' and 'adress2' 
but also to all of other users ?
how to restric these only to 'adress1 and adress2 ?

is it possible to notify according to attribue value like

Attributes = Test1, Test2
Email All = $Test1

or concatenation of  $Test1 + '@mba.be' for example

Thanks

this is a wonderfull tools !
to improve documentation : true example are missing too much 'theorie'
but when I'm finish I'll put true sample on the net

2600 entries is too much for this application as it load the all files 
in computer memory
expand the server memory
Are you running on linux or Windows ? I suggest linux (faster)
We are working on the C source to move all data from flat to database like 
SQL or mysql
when a parameter flag like 'status' = "OK" for instance
I suggest also to split in several logbook
but this is depend on your 'ELOG' parametrisation and logics

If your data are not 'sensitive' I can check on my linux server

icon4.gif   security in find option as a guest, posted by Etienne Van Caillie on Mon Jan 6 19:53:28 2003 
if you are guest in the find option  

select 'all logbook'

it will display all 'attributes' from other logbook 
with no option  'guest command ...'
but having the same 'attribute' name

Solution :
**********
I use the copy to command to make a copy to other logbook
with option 'guest command' enabled

in this section I remove some field so the guest user can't no see all field

I suggest to give acces to 'guest' on a second run of elog to another
port or other computer ?

may be add a parameter

Restrict Search all logboog = 1 or 0
if 1 the switch will not appear

not really a bug
works very fine just remarks : with this example
Group Phone & Adress = Whois, Qui_est_Qui
Group Extranet = Aide, Promos_Clients, Qui_est_Qui, Joke

[whois] is a intranet section for us : [qui_est_qui] is public
I add   'copy to = Qui_est_qui' 
so extranet or public can acces to limited information
just remove the attributes and guest user can see only limited info
see example below

small problem : 
****************
Logbook Tabs = 0  in the guest logbook will close the group header
may be create a parameter to solve ?
GroupGuest Extranet = ....

;--------------------  intranet info----------------
[Whois]
Comment = MBA & his Partner all your personal info must be here
Subdir = whoiswho
Menu commands = Back, New, Edit, Find, Help, Copy to
Attributes = Partner, AsTo, YourName, SurName, email1, email2, hotmail,Yahoo, 
GSMmail, Nickname, phone, fax, portable , home , adress, Remarks, birthday, 
QuadroUser, Function, Division
MOptions Partner = Mba, MbaCZ, BusinessCom, Edipax, Ibi, Other
Required Attributes = Parner, CodeName, YourName, email1, phone, birthday
Preset GSMmail = ???@proximus.be
Preset portable = 00 32
Copy to = Qui_est_Qui

Quick filter = Partner, Date, AsTo

icon3.gif   call a shell from ELOG / new button [Submit & Notify], posted by Etienne Van Caillie on Sat Jan 11 19:44:29 2003 
propose to put 
[Submit] [Back] [Submit & Notify] button on top/bottom

new parameter 'shell option' 

[test]
...
Attributes = NotifyMode, Param1....Param10, Adresse, Subject, ...
Options NotifyMode = mail, SMS, Fax, printer...

; this command will invoque a shell command  
; example       
ShellCommand = <my shell command> parameters ...

like in WINDOWS 2000
ShellCommand = START.EXE notify.bat $NotifyMode $Param1, $Param2, $Param3
; in this case no necessity to modify the C source
; in windows I suggest the start.exe with a exit command
; so no necessary to wait the return code from the shell
