Now that I have my development environment fully configured, I am in a position to finally contribute to BigBlueButton. Fred, CEO of Blindside Network, suggested that I start with something simple.
The issue I am working on doesn’t seem too difficult at first glance. The whiteboard section of the client is the big part in the middle of the page where one can draw objects or place slides. Currently, it seems to center in the browser viewport but it doesn’t exactly scale to fit the viewport. I believe this means that on an iPad, the whiteboard area will be fitted awkwardly into the window. The goal is to make it so the whiteboard area will scale to fit the viewport of whatever device the browser is on.
The whiteboard in this image is not scaling with the size of the viewport.
I am fairly certain that there are two steps to this process:
- Change the CSS for the whiteboard div element to fit that big empty space
- Scale the preview image (the image currently on the whiteobard) to scale as well
Anyway, off to try fixing this!
