I would like to edit an existing entry by adding new attachments at each call of elog from the command line.

If I issue

elog -h localhost -p 8XXX -l test -f /path/to/file_0.pdf -e N -x

and then 

elog -h localhost -p 8XXX -l test -f /path/to/file_1.pdf -e N -x

file_1.pdf replaces file_0.pdf, while I'd like entry N to have both pdfs.

Is there a workaround?

I have a really odd issue with elog...

My setup:

elogd.cfg:
[global]
port = 2109
SMTP host = localhost
Resource dir = /usr/share/elog
Logbook dir = /srv/www/elog
charset = UTF-8
Main Tab = main
URL = https://elog.codemages.net
Relative redirection = 1
Usr = www
Grp = www
Resolve host names = 0
Self register = 0 
Admin user = ruskie
SSL = 0
Login expiration = 20

[links]
Subdir = links
Theme = default
Comment = Link spam
Attributes = Author, Category, Link, Comment
Options Category = General, Law, IT, Odds, Linux
Required Attributes = Link, Comment
Page Title = ELOG - Link spam
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Category
Time format = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M
Date format = %Y-%m-%d
Password file = links.pwd
Admin user = ruskie
RSS Title = $logbook $entry time :$Author :$Link :$Comment

[notes]
Subdir = notes
Theme = default
Comment = Various notes
Attributes = Category, Comment
Options Category = General, Law, IT, Odds, Linux
Required Attributes = Comment
Page Title = ELOG - Various notes
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Category
Time format = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M
Date format = %Y-%m-%d
Password file = notes.pwd
Admin user = ruskie
RSS Title = $logbook $entry time :$Comment


lighttpd.conf:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "elog.*" {
  proxy.server = ( "" =>
                   ( "10.0.0.10" =>
                     (
                       "host" => "10.0.0.10",
                       "port" => 2109
                     )
                   )
                 )

}

If I access elog directly on 2109 I get no issues but when I use this configuration it takes minutes to access
any elog page at all. But the odd thing is this only happens when I'm using a gecko based browser(firefox,
xulrunner based etc...) if I use webkit-gtk or elinks all the pages load up with no noticable delay.

I have tried this on different computers, different configurations and so on... And always the same behaviour
when it comes to a gecko based browser. Elinks and webkit-gtk load up fine.

Marking this as Other so far. If anyone knows anything about running elog and lighttpd togheter please speak up.

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,

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.

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.

Hi

We have setup a elog server and would like to import a bunch of emails as
elog entries. Is there some way we can do this ? Since there are hundreds of
emails, it is not possible to post them individually as new elog entries.

Many thanks,
Anand.
