Lotus Notes and png

[maxxx]

Lotus Notes are unable to render inline png picuters and I was wondering
if it is possible to send graphs in different formats (jpg, bmp)?
Can this be easily done? Or will I have to hack thold plugin?

Hum... not sure how easy it will be, but I can probably make it a gif, and add an option for it without too much trouble.

Hi,

I modifed thold_mail function, now it sends picture as attachment:
//$mail->AddStringEmbedAttachment($data, .....)
$mail->AddStringAttachment($data, ....);
//$mail->Body .= "<br><br><img src='cid:$cid'>";

This kind of solves my problem. It would be better to see the graph
inline ... maybe in next LN version

I think the newest, not released, version of Lotus notes supports PNG. But then again, it was just hearsay from a IBM employee...

hi,

for people, who using lotus notes and still have problems with the mails
(thold 4.1). here is a workaround, cause notes still doesn't support png:

requirement: php-gd

add this to thold_functions.php:
/**
* This function is stolen from NECTAR
* convert png images stream to jpeg using php-gd
*
* @param unknown_type $png_data the png image as a stream
* @return unknown the jpeg image as a stream
*/
function png2jpeg ($png_data) {
global $config;
if ($png_data != "") {
$fn = "/tmp/" . time() . '.png';
/* write rrdtool's png file to scratch dir */
$f = fopen($fn, 'wb');
fwrite($f, $png_data);
fclose($f);
/* create php-gd image object from file */
$im = imagecreatefrompng($fn);
if (!$im) { /* check for errors */
$im = ImageCreate (150, 30); /* create an empty image */
$bgc = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$tc = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
ImageFilledRectangle ($im, 0, 0, 150, 30, $bgc);
/* print error message */
ImageString($im, 1, 5, 5, "Error while opening: $imgname", $tc);
}
ob_start(); // start a new output buffer to capture jpeg image stream
imagejpeg($im); // output to buffer
$ImageData = ob_get_contents(); // fetch image from buffer
$ImageDataLength = ob_get_length();
ob_end_clean(); // stop this output buffer
imagedestroy($im); //clean up
unlink($fn); // delete scratch file
}
return $ImageData;
}

and change this in thold_functions.php:
-$data = rrdtool_function_graph($val['local_graph_id'], $val['rra_id'],
$graph_data_array);
+$data = png2jpeg(rrdtool_function_graph($val['local_graph_id'], $val['rra_id'],
$graph_data_array));
-if ($Mailer->attach($data, $val['filename'].'.png', 'image/png', 'inline', $cid) ==
false) {
+if ($Mailer->attach($data, $val['filename'].'.jpg', 'image/jpg', 'inline', $cid) == false)
{

after this changes, you will get mail with jpg instead of png and u will see the little pictures.
