  • I had a request by someone who had seen my tutorial on sending an email in C2, if, and how it would be possible to take a screenshot within C2 and send it to an email address, with no plugins.

    I had had trouble with this in the past, with it being a bit complex.

    But I think I have finally come up with an answer, it involves :-

    Sending data from C2 to a php script which in turn stores the screenshot on your server, then sends the picture to the email address chosen.

    Now I need to broadly test it, which is where you come in ! Hopefully

    If generally successful I will share a tutorial with all the necessary files.

    So To test just click on the link below and then click the button to take the screenshot, then don't forget to fill in your email address, then click send.

    Then you will have to wait to receive the email, could be between 1-15 mins.

    Then please Let me know if it was successful.

    The test has a random number of pigs displayed at random angles, so each grab will be unique.

    Update.

    Tutorial and capx can be found here.

    Strange, I have only tested in Chrome myself and that seems to be working for me, thanks again.

  • sizcoz Hi man It worked for me could you post a capx please?

  • sizcoz I thinks it's all about my gmail account, so dont worry.

    But btw it doesnt work with chromium but i dont really make good test. (Like verify every setting etc...)

    It worked with firefox 5/5 but the phishing security of gmail alert me.

    Have a good day.

    LaurenceBedford I thinks a capx doesnt mean anything with his method... I thinks it's just a simple Ajax Post and the website make everything.

  • Oh ok thanks Casimir

    The Capx only sends the data to a php script on your chosen server(webhost space), then the php script sends the mail, via php mail.

  • sizcoz My bad, it's because i dont know anything about this univers, and when i tried to use mail in my project it was ajax and zapier webhook. (it work)

  • sizcoz I tried here and do not receive the email! But I see in "developer tools" of Chrome than there are issues related to the application are hosted in a "http" server and not a "https".

    I already did an webapp, with C2, than grab audio send it to firebase and send the link, received from firebase, in a email, with php mail function, but I do not know how to send an attached file in php mail.
