During vacations i was invited to add features to a project (need money for erasmus :P), already in use in some schools(full district), for children between 6~10 years. The project is a page were student can do or submit assignments(painting, writing), share information, etc, with some social networking. It is also menth to support parents, teachers and school management. this at a basic level.
as i said i was invited to work on it, and do some research and wrought features (interface doesn't really matter, just the logic). like i said, they can do projects on it, and i need to get a thumbnail of it (might be text, might be a picture, might be anything else, there are planed more stuff). the page has areas were project can be exposed\promoted(for the class, school, district), that's were the image generator really matters, i need thumbnails of the image generated So i need to create a preview of every new project or change in project, right after i save it. i dont need the complete page (i will crop the page borders), but i need the complete project (or the head of it) On 26 Jul, 17:09, James Englert <[email protected]> wrote: > That's an interesting problem.
