Hi,

Our elog is going to be taking some large attachments. I've disabled the attachments from going out in the email, but I'd like email recipients to know that the post has attachments associated with it. Is there a mechanism to do this already, or would it be an enhancement? I'm looking for something like:

Email Notify Attachments = 0 | 1 | 2

Where 0 = no notification,
1 = number only,
2 = list

... independent of whether attachments are included with the email itself.

Thanks,
Chris.


I added Email Format = 64 for only attachment names. So you could set Email Format = 111 to get everything except the full attachments.

think I figured it out- had to make explict most of the default settings: resource, logbook, url, theme, css and so on.

so this is done.


I'm not satisfied with this solution, I rather would like to fix the problem at the source. So can you remove the explicit directory settings, then stip down the config file to the bare minimum where the problem happens, then send me this file so that I can reproduced it. Do yo use SSL, stunnel or a proxy?

Thanks for this. Will verify as soon as someone posts to the (now live) logbook.

icon5.gif   Changes in Comment and Elog Index page?, posted by ralphb on Wed Aug 10 11:28:30 2005 
Just updated to ELOG V2.6.0-beta4 from V2.5.6-2 and I note a couple of changes:

- HTML code inculed in elog.cfg "Comment" lines were previously rendered, now they are not. e.g. "Comment = Some comment
<A href="http://somedomain.com/some.html" target="_top">&nbsp; Some link text</A>" Is this change deliberate, or is the functionality likely to return? Any workaround?

- The "Several logbooks are defined on this host" elog index page was previously collapsable, now it is not. Same questions as previous.

Thanks & best regards,

Ralph.

OK, I've fixed that one with "Expand Selection page = 0"

I had to render the comment, because some people had comments like "PCs > W2k", where the ">" screwed up the HTML code of the page. 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.

People complained about the collapsing (it's really hard to make everybody happy!!!). So the page is expanded by default. If you want the old behaviour, add an
Expand selection page = 0

into your config file

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.

Ah, but you are doing it so well!

Thanks again.
