Edocman change request

Hi guys,

I sent a request for a new Edocman feature few times on the mail addresses on your site but I got no answer. Can you please look for mail messages sent from my gmail address (bujor.alexandru89).

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex

Just got your email at 4am my time, so I haven't had a chance to reply you before.

I think it will be possible to do that. But it will requires some customization :

1. Admin need to enter code for each document. He will also need to upload the preview image.

2. A module need to be developed to allow users to enter the code and see the preview image.

I think this development will be possible. It will take us about 3 days for the development and will cost you 80$.

So please think about it and get back to us !

Tuan

Hi,

I am glad that you got my e-mail. I sent few more last weeks so this is why I used the forum also.

The price is ok.

I need to make some observations:
- is it possible to use a tool like ImageMagick (convert) to create the preview? I don't want to upload the png images manually. I can create a bash script if it is not possible to do it from php and allow you to use that one.
- as I mentioned, the preview should be a png image of the first page
- it would be nice to be possible to send the code through a get parameter and allow using a single link to view the preview.

Do you think that my notes are ok?

If yes, you have an agreement from my side. Just let me know what are the next steps.

Regards,
Alex

Is Imagemagic enabled on your server ?

Tuan

Yes. I have full access to the server, so if you need any other packages I can install it.

Then it is possible, But I need to review the imagemagic documentation first before giving you the final price. I had worked with Imagemagic few years ago, but to be honest, don't remember syntax/api and what functions it offer now !

Tuan

To get the first page converted to png we can use something like

cati@cati-K52Jr:~$ convert application.pdf[0] -background white -quality 50 preview.png
cati@cati-K52Jr:~$ convert application.pdf[0] -background white -quality 50 preview.jpg

The -resize option works for resizing. However, resizing and other adjustments depende on the style also, I think. We should make sure that it won't brake the responsive layout of the edocman.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex

Then I think we can implement it. This week, I want to focus on improving my extensions, so we will talk sometime next week if that's OK for you !

Hi,

It is OK from my side to wait one week. Then let's schedule it for next week. Let me know when do you think it can be completed and if the price stays 80$.

Keep up working for your extensions this week, as I am using 3 of them so far (the helpdesk, the event booking and the edocman)

Regards,
Alex

Thanks Alex !
