No, but there is a trick you can use. Put following into your config file:
Attributes = Author, ...
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
Options Author = Admin{1}, other{2}
{1}Suppress default = 1

Replace "Admin" with the name of the administrator. The "Author" field gets automatically set to the author name, and it's locked, so there will no be drop-down box which lets you select between "Admin" and "other". Now if the author is equal to "Admin", the condition {1} becomes true, and the "Supress default is executed. This check the "suppress email notificatio" box at the bottom, so normally no email gets sent from the administrator.

Hi Jason, how is going? Long time no hear!

What you need is following line in your config file:
URL = http://localhost:8080/

This is because elog does not know its "own" address, and therefore tries to figure this out over the network. Your laptop probably has the name "syslvester", and you run it inside columbia.edu, so it "thinks" it can reach itself via http://sylvester.columbioa.edu:8080. The URL statement above overrides this "guess".

Best regards,

Stefan

No, you have to copy entries manually with the "Copy to" menu command. For that, you have to put something like

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Copy to, Delete, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Help

into your configuration file.

I am not so bold as to log this as a bug but one of my Quicklink fields just do not work.


Sorry my late reply, but now I have fixed this problem. The update is under SVN and will be contained in the next release.
  1599   Wed Jan 18 02:22:44 2006 Question Adam BlandfordAdam.Blandford@dsto.defence.gov.auBug report 2.6.0Attribute substitution in email configuration
In the logbook config file I am not able to use attribute substitution in the <string> tag for
Use Email Heading = <string>
Attribute substitution does work however for
Use Email Subject = <string>
e.g.
Use Email Subject = ELOG $logbook entry; $Category: $Subject
will result in an email subject of: "ELOG Forum entry; Bug Report; Attribute substitution in email configuration"
Use Email Heading = A new entry has been submitted by $long_name on $remote_host on $date
will result in an email heading of: "A new entry has been submitted by $long_name on $remote_host on $date"

Not sure if this functionality is intended or is a bug. An comment/feedback/suggestion would be appreciated.

In version 2.6 the themes do not work right on Windows. 
The URL is fixed at whichever logbook that is selected (e.g. ELOG 2.5.9-4 is <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css"> & ELOG 2.6.0-1 is <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost:8080/demo/default.css">).
  1597   Tue Jan 17 14:09:17 2006 Question Chris Warnerchristopher_warner@dcd.uscourts.govQuestionLinux Email based on not attribute value
Is it possible to send an email if an attribute is not equal to a specific value?

For instance, I have a server logbook that several people are able to write to. There is one person that is ultimately responsible for this server. I would like to generate an email any time that someone other than the System Administrator creates a new entry.

Thanks,

Chris Warner

Nevermind. this was an iptables issue.

I had problems getting elog to run on port 8080 (or many others). I have it installed on Redhat Enterprise Linux rel 4. The only way I was able to get it working was using port 80. I would like to run it on a different port if possible but I'm not sure what is wrong.

Any Ideas
