DSpace@Cambridge uses custome thumbnail code for a variety of reasons: * Separating these UI components from actual archival content * Reducing database load * Having thumbnails generated on the fly rather than waiting for the media filter * Having higher-quality thumbnails than those produced by the default DSpace thumbnail system
Because we got several enquiries into how we did this, we made the code and an explanation thereof available online: http://tools.dspace.cam.ac.uk/thumbnails/ We hope this will turn out to be useful for people with problems similar to those we used to have. -- Tom De Mulder <[email protected]> - Cambridge University Computing Service +44 1223 3 31843 - New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Cambridge CB2 3QH -> 17/06/2011 : The Moon is Waning Gibbous (92% of Full) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
