Hi Stefan,
I tried your suggestions with 'page shrinking' and 'message width', but they didn't help. What I do not understand is why this problem occurs only if the message text is formatted as plain text. The lines are printed correctly, if the text is formatted as EL code or as HTML.

It is of course possible to format new entries in EL code or HTML, but we have a lot of existing entries, which are formatted as plain text.

Kind regards,
Bertram

The "mailto:" is there for good reason. After you submit the entry, elogd converts the "mailto:" into
<a href="mailto:user@domain.com">user@domain.com</a>

so the browser shows the email address as a link. If you click it, the browser automatically opens your email client with the email address already in the "To:" field. The same works in the main text body. So if I put "mailto:stefan.ritt@psi.ch", it gets converted automatially to "stefan.ritt@psi.ch", a feature many people rely on.

Now from your request it looks to me like you want email notifications, so you put
Email System CareWare = ..., $user_email

In that case the "mailto:" gets automatically stripped during the email notification, so the user_email gets entered and will be used correctly for the notification.

We are using ver 2.5.4. As users enter new requests into the system, they would like email notifications. I have added the $user_email into a "notifications" section that we created. The email address that gets entered is "mailto:user@domain.com". Is there a way to remove the "mailto:"? Attached is my config file.

Thanks

Oops - amazing when I read the syntax correctly -- it works! Thanks for taking the time to reply to a "dumb, RTFD" question, Stefan. Thank you for making a great program!

Sorry for my poor English. The case is like this: When I set an admin password for my logbook which is named in Chinese, I cannot open the config page while the password is correct. It seems that the logbook named in Chinese cannot recieve the password submitted. If the logbook is named other than Chinese, everything is OK. I will repeat the problem and describe it more exactly.


A way around that problem would be to use user level access (via the Password file = ... and Admin user = ... settings). Can you try if that works under a Chinese logbook?

As the title.


There is no possibility to change an admin password. You probably mean that you logged in as admin and cannot change your own password, is that right? Do you use user level access via "password file = ..."? What is your elogd.cfg? I tried to switch language to German and I can change my own password via the config page.

Ok, fixed in the current subversion repository. Better write such things by personal mail to me, since it might not interest the elog community very much.

Sorry. Wink I will mail you first next time.

Executing "make" on MacOS X is OK, but "make install" failed due to the following error:
/usr/bin/install -m 0755 -d /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/man/man1/ /usr/local/man/man8/
/usr/bin/install -m 0755 -o bin -g bin elog elconv /usr/local/bin
install: bin: Invalid argument
make: *** [install] Error 67

The reason is that the account "bin" and group "bin" are missing on MacOS X. I also found that the following lines in "Makefile" doesn't work:
ifeq ($(OSTYPE),darwin)
CC = cc
endif

I have fixed this problem. The diff of Makefile as following:
diff Makefile.darwin Makefile.origin
