Redmine

I think that you are absolutly right Alexey, I run a team where we get bugs each day and we are always coming short when it comes to having good descriptions of the bugs - especially if they are on a specific screen or page - we need a way to copy/past screenshots!

Anyone else with me on this?

This would be awesome.
I run a team where we like using screenshots for better understanding between us and the current way for doing that in Redmine is too heavy.

Here is a quickly written plugin that let users paste one screenshot on the issue form.
The screenshot is saved as a png file (screenshot.png) attached to the issue.

It uses an applet from http://www.redmountainsw.com/wordpress/archives/applet-for-submitting-screenshot.

Tested with Firefox 3 (OK), Safari 3 (OK), IE6 (doesn't seem to work).

Requires latest trunk (tested with r3106). Just unzip in vendor/plugins and restart.
Feedback is welcome.

I have tested this plugin on IE8 and Chrome 3, it works well. But one remark - attachment name is always 'screenshot.png', when I add a second screenshot (in comment) I get 2 attachments with same names. It will be better to use unique names, for example 'screenshot_<num>.png'. And maybe plugin could automatically add to issue description/comment body.
A drag and drop functionality when uploading existing images or documents will be useful too and this can be done with java applet too.

I have modified (s)imageuploadapplet, now it support drag and drop, paste on click, and can paste clipboard content by javascript command (you can call "imageuploadapplet.getImageFromClipboad();" when showing div with applet and if screenshot already exist in clipboard it will be pasted - one click saved :)).

Nice work!

Here is a new version of the plugin that includes your modified applet.
Clipboard is pasted when showing the applet, and name+description can now be entered.

is it possible to integrate this feature into standard Redmine build?

If you are serving Redmine in SubURI, this plugin won't load.

The fix is to change line 3 of "path/to/redmine/vendor/plugins/redmine_screenshot_paste/app/views/issues/_screenshot.rhtml" to:

<applet archive="<%= Redmine::Utils.relative_url_root %>/plugin_assets/redmine_screenshot_paste/simageuploadapplet.jar" 

(This assumes you added prefix to "path/to/redmine/config/environment.rb" as per HowTo_Install_Redmine_in_a_sub-URI)

This is a great plugin. Thanks Jean-Philippe and Andrew for making this available.

The attached file is a modification to load the Java applet on demand rather than every time a new issue page is opened, which was giving a warning about unverified digital signature.

It also checks for Redmine::Utils.relative_url_root and availability of Java.

I'm running Redmine v0.9.0 RC and installed the plug-in (just unzipped redmine_screenshot_paste-2.zip)

Restarting Redmine gives "Drag or paste from clipboard" link upon pressing update button and applet gets the clipboard content pasted. But nothing special happens when pressing Submit button after entering "Name" and "Description".

I suspect ... "uploaded_screenshot"=>{"name"=>"screenshot", "content"=>"", "description"=>"error page"}, ... from below log extract. Do you see any clue?

Rest of the Redmine stuff works fine.

This is the error I was getting when the .jar file was not found before I updated _screenshot.rhtml

I'm not sure about the BitNami stack, but you do not need to modify redmine/config/environment.rb if you are serving Redmine in something like http://redmine.yourhost.com
This is only required if you are serving Redmine in something like http://yourhost.com/redmine (as I am) and it must match your path.

As like you I access Redmine by http://192.168.111.129/redmine/ so i guess i have to modify named file.
Interesting part of this file looks like
<applet archive="<%= Redmine::Utils.relative_url_root %>/plugin_assets/redmine_screenshot_paste/simageuploadapplet.jar"'

I found simageuploadapplet.jar file there: redmine/public/plugin_assets/redmine_screenshot_paste/simageuploadapplet.jar

I dont have a foggest idea why it is trying to find Main.class in the path http://192.168.111.129/redmine/projects/thepacker/issues/imageuploadapplet/
there's no such path in the project.

After a recent update to "Redmine 0.9.3.devel.3525" this pluggin stopped working. I'm getting the same "nothing is happening" issue as note-12 above.

This is log after creating a new issue with screenshot added using this plugin:

I looked at the production logs from when the screenshot attaching worked (Jan, Feb) and nothing has changed in the request.

Jean-Philippe,
is there any chance you could take a look at an update to this plugin?
It is extremely useful in my organization. It would be great if it made it into core.
I'm running Redmine as a mongrel cluster proxied by Apache on Windows 2003.

This plugin will no longer work after r3523 changes.

You can get the new version here: PluginScreenshotPaste.

Thank you Jean-Philippe!

I was just in the middle of reverting back to r3522 when you posted the updated version and the original plugin worked as Andrew suggested.

Now I again went back to r3525 and using your updated plugin I was getting the error about .jar file not being found. I'm hosting Redmine in http://myhost/redmine and adding <%= Redmine::Utils.relative_url_root %> in front of the path fixed the issue. (I know that this is not the appropriate way of doing this, but its a quick fix).

If anyone is interested, I modified _screenshot.rhtml to load the applet on demand and to work when Redmine is not at the root of the webserver.

Thanks again Jean-Philippe and Andrew!

I'd be brilliant. I cant make it work and I'm not sure it costs my time. Is there any chance the plugin will be incuded in say demo ?

For production reasons I cannot migrate to the new version of redmine, so the plugin do not work (I^m using redmine 0.8.x)
Possible to make it work for this old version ???

I am unable to get this plugin working properly with 0.9.3. I have tried every combination. It is accepting the paste from the clipboard, but then nothing is actually attached to the ticket.

Any help?

Neither am I. I tried 1.0.2 plugin version with Redmine 0.9.3.stable (PostgreSQL). Was not able to paste screenshot from clipboard via IE7, IE8 and FireFox 3.6.3.

I tried this plugin with Redmine 0.9.3.stable.3625. When I restart Redmine, I get an error and redmine doesn't start:

Hello,
I'm running the 0.9.trunk and have the same log as http://www.redmine.org/issues/3816#note-16
I'm trying to debug in NetBeans and I found this on line 49 in the init.rb plugin file:

screenshot = attachments['screenshot']

Some time ago we did a similar job internally for our tracker, but allowing more than one screenshot at a time and showing thumbnails (it's a bit technically different from the original solution by Jean-Philippe).
Now it is cleared for public domain, so feel free to try (attached). Should work on the 0.9.x family (verified up to 0.9.4). Requires RMagick to show screenshot thumbnails when adding/editing an issue. Known to conflict with Local Avatars .

I hope you can fix. This is very useful for me (my users..).
Thank you

You're using 0.9.trunk, right? Looks like the attachment methods there are different from what's in 0.9.4. I think we'll be able to provide an update with the next stable release (we do live on them, not on trunk).

Hi Victor,
I'm sorry for double post and for to miss my redmine version..
You are right, I'm using the latest 3735 trunk.
So I'll wait for the next stable release.

Thank you!

Hi,

I tried attaching a screenshot via Alt+Print and the button "Copy from clipboard". The image is visible in the applrt window, but when I attach it to the issue, I get the following in my log:

Hi Max,
try following the instructions here ...
PNG support is essential for the plugin - I'm sorry that was missed in the original posting.

When I try to attach screenshot I get 500 internal server error and in production log is

Using redmine-0.9.3-3~bpo50+1

Hello,

I had the same error

load: class imageuploadapplet.Main not found

Adding a codebase attribute to the applet tag like this:

codebase="/plugin_assets/redmine_screenshot_paste/" 

fixed the problem, and the applet loaded correctly.

I test this plugin in Windows XP, IE6 and Firefox both work well.
But in Linux, Firefox can't display the applet.
Who can tell me why?
Thanks.

I've installed the plugin on our redmine installation, and the new entry appears in the issue's view, but the applet itself is causing problems.

The applet is installed in the vendor folder as instructed, but it's producing errors. When looking in the production log, I'm getting the following:

Would it be solved if i just add the following to routes.rb:

map.connect '/projects/misc/issues/imageuploadapplet/Main.class', :controller => 'index', :action => 'index'

Hi, Where is the codebase located?

codebase="/plugin_assets/redmine_screenshot_paste/"

Thanks

in /app/views/issues/_screenshot.rhtml you can add it as a attribute to the applet tag.

I have Redmine 0.9.3 running under the BitNami stack on a legacy Windows Server 2003 system.

I tried redmine_attach_screenshot_v.0.0.3.zip. I couldn't save the image and got a 500 internal server error. In the production log I saw this:

So the fix isn't too hard. Change line 36 of attach_screenshot_controller.rb from

    sprintf('%d_%d%s', User.current.id, date, name)

to this:

    sprintf('%d_%s%s', User.current.id, date, name)

Great plugin! Thanks for making it public.

Hi All,
I am using the Turnkey Redmine which I have updated to 0.9.4

I am running the website as / so it shouldn't be a path issue but I have had no luck getting it working.
I am new linux so I apologise if I have missed something simple.
Thanks :)

Problem still persists in version 0.9.6. I think the one common thread between me and the poster just above me is that both our redmine installs are hosted at http://base.domain/<somename>
