There are two ways:

a) put a "\" in front of the emoticon like this: \:) -> :)

b) put a [code] tag around your text. Any text inside the [code] tag is not interpretet like:

[code]
Hello ;) [I]italics[/i] 
[/code]
note that the trick with the "\" only works in the current CVS version of elog.

You specify what is sent by email notification with the Email format = <n> option. Adding the right numbers there, you can send only the notification, but not the contents or attachments. An alternative is to use the RSS functionality in Elog. With an RSS reader, you only see the subject, and can download the whole body upon request.

2) Is there a way to set icons to users, so that each user has a defined icon? I set up a new attribute called: Author Icon and then tried using conditional attributes to have an icon set to a specific user. When I tested by posting, in the Author Icon section I didn't have an icon, instead a text box appeared with the name of the icon.


No, this is not possible without modification of elog. In principle you can tell elog that a certain attribute is an icon by using the "Ioptions author icon = icon1.gif, icon2.gif"), but then you get a list if possible icons each time from which you have to select. Not very convenient. The concept of an Avatar is not preent in elog, you bette choose a bulletin board system for that.

I have two questions:

1) When sending out email notifications, is there a way to surpress the entries that have been left on the logbook? I want to be notified that someone has posted, but not receive the posting in the email.


2) Is there a way to set icons to users, so that each user has a defined icon? I set up a new attribute called: Author Icon and then tried using conditional attributes to have an icon set to a specific user. When I tested by posting, in the Author Icon section I didn't have an icon, instead a text box appeared with the name of the icon.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Your problem is related with the fact that I changed the formatting from fixed font to proportional font ("ELCode"). This gives you three options:

  • Enter your elog entries in "plain" text, which brings you back to the old mode
  • Change the page setup of your browser. Mozilla Firefox has File/Page Setup/Shrink to fit page and left and right margin
  • Reduce the entry window via the config setting "Message width"

the lines are displayed as expected on the screen, but they are cut off when the browser window is printed via
the browsers print function.
This did not occur in a previous version (V2.5.6).

I, too, found that this elcode.js file was missing. However, it seems to be present on this demo site!

so, I downloaded it from this very demo site, and saved it to my system (in the root of your resources folder). This (so far) seems to have made the "ELCode" formatting mode work properly.

This is the URL I used. It seems that this file was ommitted from the latest distribution:

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/elcode.js

Hope that helps!

I added some code now which checks if the comment is real HTML, and reverts back to the old behaviour if it is. The update is in CVS.


Thanks very much Stefan.

Our new server has no gcc so I had to compile it on a sister machine, pending the next RPM release.

By the way, your download page needs an extra line:
cvs -d :ext:cvs@midas.psi.ch:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout mxml
to have a hope of the make working.

Also, it would be nice if the "Installing and running on UNIX" section of the Administrator's Guide also had a set of "Installation from CVS" instructions.
