Hello,

Is there still a limit of 50 attachments per topic?  If so, is there or could there be a parameter to change this setting?

Thanks,

Devin

Hi there,

It seems that by default in a message created as "reply" of another message, the "quoted text" of the original entry is put at the _TOP_ of the new entry and not movable (Firefox 17, elog 2.92). I would strongly like to have it opposite, i.e. that one is able to create a new text first and only then has the "quoted text" since people are interested to see a new information and only then the previous messages as sort of "reminder". It was like this in older (2.6?) version but now I did not find how to change this default behavior. Did I miss something?

Cheers

Valentin

Hi Stefan,

Happy New Year!

I ran several searches thru the forum but I could not detect a suitable entry on the following:

Is it possible to hide/un-hide the Commands, like "Edit", "Reply", "Duplicate", from the Menu based upon an Option of an Attribute?

E.g. Attributes = Status, .. | Options Status = Open, Closed

When Status = "Open"; the Menu Commands "Edit", "Reply" and "Duplicate" are available.

When Status = "Closed"; the Menu Commands "Edit", "Reply" and "Duplicate" are hidden/not available.

-or-

Can this only be accomplished using 2 Logbooks (Open / Closed) and move an entry from "Open" to "Closed" where the Logbook "Closed" is not using the Commands  "Edit", "Reply", "Duplicate".

Kind regards,

Barend

Hi Stefan,

I have observed following behavior when I move entries from one logbook to another:

1. The first entry in "Open" get ID "1"
2. When I move this Item to "Closed", it will keep ID "1" as I have used "Preserve IDs = 1"
3. A new entry in "Open" gets ID "1" again
4. When I move this item to "Closed" it will overwrite the previous ID "1" in "Closed"
5. A new entry in "open" gets ID "1" again....

Every new entry in "Open" will get the next higher ID Number related to the highest available ID number/entry in "Open".

Upon "move to Closed", the previous entries in "Closed"will be overwritten.

Is there a way to prevent the usage of a previously used ID Number when entering a new ID?
I.e. If an entry with ID "1" has been used in "Open" and moved to "Closed", have the next entry in "Open" use ID "2"?

Kind regards,

Barend

Hi all,

I am trying to set up elog here at the University of Minnesota.  It looks very promising for helping to manage a fairly complicated operation.  I've got most of what I want set up without too much difficulty.  However, I find that I'm having some difficulty to get it working properly with email.

In particular, I have my account set up to email me when log entries are made (subscribe to logbooks option is selected).   In the global section of my elogd.conf file I have set up the variables:

SMTP host = factoryserver5
SMTP username = factory

However, when I make a test entry, I get an error at the top:

Error sending Email via <i>"factoryserver5"</i>: 5.5.1 Error: authentication not enabled

I tried setting the password using "elogd -t" but to no avail.  I also tried a few different values for SMTP host

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

Cheers,

Satish

Updating my toolbox.  Starting to use elog as, well, a logbook.  Kind of liking the short, sweet, to the point capabilities.

Which leads me to wonder if anybody has opinions on trouble ticket systems that work well with elog?

Thanks!

 Hi,

I would like to make an hyperlink to an external file in a messaje. I have writen Allow (HTML = 1) in .cfg file and the hyperlink as

<p><a href="file:\\external_computer\directory">test</a></p>

It did not work. However if I write in the chrome browser:

file:\\external_computer\directory

It works.

Thank you so much!!

How can I set up the admins or manager group with the ability to Lock a Thread?  I don't wish to keep two log books.
