Is it possible to do screenshots in png or jpg format? The gif format restricts to 256 colors! /alex
Yes, it was implemented in 2010/10/30 version. Just change file extension. See http://www.hammurapi.com/dokuwiki/doku.php/products:jcapture:start#image_format for more details.
I'm getting the following error in Firefox. How to resolve? /chris
uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.statusText]" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: http://wiki.example.com/lib/exe/js.php?tseed=1297875039 :: anonymous :: line 1" data: no]
I've the same error as chris is there any trouble with “Anteater” version ? /toine
I'm getting (first time installing anything with doku): Error: document.getElementById(“jCaptureApplet”) is null Source File: http://localhost:8800/lib/exe/js.php?tseed=1322027259 Line: 1
2012/07/23 I'm getting an error from javascript console, jcapture is unable to load applet.php, the url is wrong (doesn't include domain). I have to modify /plugins/jcapture/script.js at line 18 to
DOKU_BASE+"lib/plugins/jcapture/applet.php";
2012-04-03 Feature request: After selecting zone, user is promoted to confirm (or edit) a file name. This file name ends with .jpg, but the user will likely a more friendly name. However, if the image name with .jpg, doesn't (s)he'll get: Error saving image HTTP/1.0 Bad Request Perhaps automatic addition of .jpeg instead?
2012-05-14 I'm getting the same error as above, Error: document.getElementById(“jCaptureApplet”) is null
2012-08-29 Same thing on document.getElementById() is null. Fresh install of docuwiki on windows 2003 on port 81: (not sure if that makes a difference). Any hints at where to look would be appreciated. I also installed jdraw. The editor comes up but diagrams don't seem to get saved either.
2012-08-30 (Pavel) I've fixed the problem with script.js line 18. Non-standard port can make a difference. It should be possible to catch the problem in a browser debug console. Also a web debugger like Fiddler can help to trace HTTP requests.
2013-05-23 (EanderAlx) Perhaps you should change the name of your addBtnAction function in order to prevent problems with other plugins like encryptpasswords. And I would be glad if you get your plugin compatible to Weatherwax because at the moment it destroys the toolbar.
2013-05-27 (Proxymus) I have the same problem as EanderAlx. The plugin destroys some dokuwiki functions.
2013-06-12 (EanderAlx) Dirty workaround is to reenable deprecated functions in js see here: https://bugs.dokuwiki.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=2758 as mentioned on the page of edittable plugin.
2013-08-01 (Dior) Hi, I get following Message in the Java Console:
Missing Permissions manifest attribute for: http://xx.xx.xx.xx./dokuwiki/lib/plugins/jcapture/lib/jcapture.jar Missing Codebase manifest attribute for: http://xx.xx.xx.xx./dokuwiki/lib/plugins/jcapture/lib/jcapture.jar
I know it is an issue with Java 7.25 but I think this should be fixed in the jar File… if i´m right?
2013-10-25 (EanderAlx) I've also an problem with the java version sind some time I get an “Incompatible magic value” error after set the ilename to upload.
The “Missing Codebase…” is still there in Java 7.25 & 7.45. There is another thing: Every time I try to change the size of the capture window the window dissaper. Only solution is to save or dismiss the Change in the wiki page and start edit again.
