Re: How to attach screen shot in elog

Thanks

You cannot directly paste a screen shot into an elog entry. Use HoverSnap (Windows) or ksnapshot (linux) to produce directly an image file, then you need only two mouse clicks (browse and select file). There is also an Add-On for FireFox called "dragdropupload" which can be used for drag-and-drop a file into the attachment file selector.

I finally got round to do so. I've also included the changes suggested by Yoshio Imai (reload functionality).
Hopefully, it is useful for someone...

Stefan,

perhaps there should be something like the bold text below in elogd.c:

Wow, where did you get that long cookie from? Certainly not from elogd. You must run elogd under Apache, and have some other service next to it on your server which distributes this long cookies, that's why other people did not experience this problem yet. I appreciate your fix. It's alwasy nice to see users not only complain about things, but try to fix them. Your fix is almost correct, you need a

i<(int) sizeof(cookie)-1

since there is the trailing zero for terminating the cookie string. I applied your fix to SVN revision #2146.

I the cookie is used for single-sign-on for multiple sites within company.com. So the cookie is issued for "company.com" i.e. all websites gets it even elog.company.com:8080..

I mostly fibble little bit in perl (dont need to bother with trailing zeros there ).
