Whilst on another project it was mentioned they couldn't get a decent thumbnail to show current conditions (hint).
Easy with php said the betejuice, It might be for you said the other.
So, the beteljuice has put something together where you can select your thumbnail size and easily pick the area of your (large) webcam pic that you want for a thumb.
This might be square or a vertical rectangle rather than the usual horizontal rectangle, depending upon what reference points you want displayed and your page layout.
> Another beteljuice plaything <
From the page:
There are several ways that the cropped thumbnail can be achieved.
This will give the code for TWO different methods.
Pure CSS
Pros:
- NO php requirement
Original image is loaded in the page and thus available eg. could be a full screen option.
- Original image is loaded in the page, this could significantly affect download time !.
Pros:
- Simple image call
Small upload in the page.
- None really.
Which you chose is up to you !
It may not work for all, tough
