I have SMTP server that requires authentication

Whenever a new user 'self registers' to E-log, I get an automated email saying so. Hence, the SMTP setting are correct and working.

However, for any entry made to log, no email notification is generated. error '5.5.4 Invalid Address'

suppress notification checkbox is 'unchecked'

Kindly help.

well, here's the problem that i had: my charset (koi8-u) was specified in elog.conf for every logbook, but this had no effect, and all elog pages continued tu appeared as iso-8859-1 (which is the default)

when i specified charset in the global section, the problem's gone away.

2do: i think it's worth testing how does it work whet charset specified for a separate logbook overrides globally specidied charset

elog version that is in use: 2.5.7 from debian sarge 3.1 r0a powerpc

This indeed is not possible and you have to use top groups for that.

Can I have an RSS feed to a protected log book? Does it also require authentication, or does it bypass it? If it bypasses it, how do I disable RSS?

Thanks,

One note I would like to make however: "Top groups" were invented for having completely separate logbook groups. Before the invention of top groups, one had to run several instances of elogd for different departments for example, where one department should not see the other department's logbooks. But having many departments means having to maintain many elogd daemons. This led to the invention of top groups, so one daemon can serve several independent groups, each having their own [global] section, with probably their own administrator.

In your case however, it would be more applicable not to use top groups, but use nested groups. Like
Group MiniBooNE = Analysis, Miscellaneous
Group Analysis = Charged Current Pi Plus, Neutral Current Coherent Pions
Group Miscellaneous = demo

I presume this is more what you want, and you can avoid some problems which arise from top groups.


The quick attempt I just made to use this doesn't do what I want, which is to require password protection for the Analysis logbook selection page. If you think that *is* possible and I just didn't configure it properly, I'd appreciate pointers. In the meantime though, your bug fixes appear to have solved my top group / password problem and I think I'll proceed with that for now.

Thanks again,
Chris.

Stefan, I installed V2.6.0-beta3 and there is a (unwanted) difference. The Text field now appears in the summary-view despite the config specifies:

List Display = ID, Logdate, Author, Book, Chapter, Type, Subject

so in my opinion the text-field should not show up here.


If you do not want text display in the summary view, add

Summary lines = 0

into your config file.

Another point: there was some discussion about v2.6.0-beta3 being slow.
I have v2.6.0-beta and v2.6.0-beta3 running side by side on the same server and notice also a big difference in speed, beta3 being much slower.


This is still a mystery to me, since on all machines I try the speed is fine. I'm still waiting for some debugging analysis from users which have this problem. If I cannot reproduce it, I cannot fix it.



After upgrading to v2.6.0-beta4 everything works fine now.
Thanks for your help

Well not quite. According to the RFC the encoded word must not be longer than 75 characters! Indeed shorter subjects are displayed by pine, but not longer ones as they do not follow RFC2047.
Below is the quote from the RFC.


You are right Big grin, thanks for this information, I overlooked it.

Now I split a long subject into separate chunks of encoded words, and my pine is happy. Update in CVS.
