[ZendTo] ANNOUNCE: Production release 5.21-1

[Nigel Kendrick]

Thanks Jules – confirming that the logo is fixed by adding the following to the local css file with the change shown in bold…

#logo {
        float: right;
        height: 60px;
        /* line-height: 60px; */
        padding-left: 25px;
        padding-right: 20px;
        text-decoration: none;
        font-weight: bold;
        color: #a5abb0;
        font-size: 3.5em;
        text-shadow: 1px 1px 0px #fbfbfb;
        max-width: 270px;
        overflow: visible;
}

During the update to 5.21-2 this morning, I noticed that the customised dropbox logo was spotted and I was given the option to keep it – thanks! The image I used was based on this one which suits our corporate colour scheme:

Hope your recovery is going well.

Nigel,

Sorry for the delay, I've been supposedly on holiday for a week visiting my elderly parents in Wales, but managed to wind up in hospital (only 2 days!) instead.

Hi Jules,
I’ve installed the upgrade – great to have the announcements option!
A few small issues:

  *   I am using a png version of the company logo with a transparent background and this used to overhang the main white area, but now it’s half behind it!? How best to fix this in a way that isn’t reverted on the next update?
Add some over-riding CSS to /opt/zendto/www/css/local.css.
If you take a look in /opt/zendto/www/css/swish2.css, search for "logo".
There you'll find #logo and #logoxclip.
If you over-ride their definitions by adding new ones in local.css, those changes will survive future upgrades.

Sorry I had to mess with the logo's CSS, but space on that top line was getting very tight for some languages.



  *
  *   I have a different image for the dropbox icon on the ‘about’ page and this gets reverted every upgrade – have I missed a config option to set this, or can there be one?
I have just changed the rpm and deb packages so that logo is now treated as a "config file" and therefore won't be overwritten in upgrades if you change it.

BTW what picture are you using? I would very much like to use something better if I can!!



  *
  *   During the upgrade, something was displayed about a cookies length setting issue – it scrolled off the screen very quickly and I was performing the upgrade through a vmware remote console window and there’s no scrollback! What do I have to change!?
Run
/opt/zendto/sbin/genCookieSecret.php
That will print out a new line that you should copy and paste into preferences.php to replace the existing value for that setting.

It's just that if you set an encryption passphrase when requesting a drop-off, that passphrase now actually has to be stored in the ZendTo database (until the drop-off is created, at which point the passphrase is wiped again).

So I needed to use a much better random number as the "shared key" for that encryption process.

BTW in a VMware remote console window, shift+pageup and shift+pagedown should still give you a fair amount of scrollback history on most Linuxes. Not perfect, but better than nothing. (I run a vSphere at home. It's a form of masochism I know... :-)

Cheers,
Jules.

Thanks as ever
