What you ask for is multi-line attributes. This is not implemented, but on the
wishlist since some time, where I added your vote.

Best regards,

  Stefan

Sorry I didn't see the wishlist but I see what you mean. I have just found out
that pasting content that contains more than 1 line into an attribute field
crashes elog.  

I have a play with the Preset text setting and see what I can come up with. By the
way there is a spelling mistake in the config.html page. In the Conditional
Attributes section you use the Preset text setting as an example but have spelt it
as "Prset text ="

Thank you for you help

Thanks, fixed.

Hi 

Is there a repository of elog configuration files for newbies to lookup and
learn ? I have seen the 'contributions' elog - useful as it is ... it is not
much. I would appreciate if someone can point out such a site where people
have contributed their elog configuration files.

Thanks,

Have a look at the elog:Config+Examples. The configuration of this Forum for
example is there, covering most of the available options.

Hi,

We have set up a elog server at our institute. The configuration file is
attached. We have the following queries:

1. When replying to another reply in a thread, the author_name attribute is
not substitued (as desired). Since this is a mandatory field, we are not
able to send the reply message. However, reply to the originial message
works fine.

2. "Use Email From = string" prepends an additional "" to the "From"
field in the e-mails.

3. "Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject" fixes the subject line while replying.
However when we add "Category" attribute to this list, it breaks.

Can someone help us?

Suggestions and tips will be thankfully recieved.

Preset on reply Author = $long_name

Do not use "Remove on reply".

This has been fixed recently, please update.

I tried to use your config file and add

Fixed attributes reply = Subject, Category

and it worked as expected. What kind of "break" did you observe?

This worked. Thanks.

Agani, thanks for the information.

For me, when I put the Category in the fixed attributes for reply, I see the
Category but when I actually try to send the message - it says Category not
entered. I am sure I am doing something very stupid. Please help.
