Make site policy descriptions screenshot-able #112

Closed dsalo closed 11 years ago

dsalo commented 11 years ago

Because of the way policies pop up via Javascript when a site is clicked on, screenshot tools cannot necessarily capture the policy. (I am using the Screengrab plugin for Firefox, which captures the page underneath with the policy list, ignoring the popup altogether.)

It would be super-helpful for canned demos of TOS;DR (e.g. during lectures in my online course) if policies could be captured via screenshot! Thanks.

You'd be limited by the screen size anyway, so I'm not sure how we could solve this.

The use case is not for screenshots but for actually providing information in a useful manner (from most important to least important, etc.)

Right now there's no other way on tosdr.org to display a website's policies. But we might work on that in the future. cc @jancborchardt

For your lectures, I suppose the best thing to do would be to create your own slide with our data, but just to organise it in a way that's appropriate for the lecture (like nice infographics, etc.).

Yeah, this is not really possible without major changes to the design. And honestly a) don’t have time to do that b) neither do I think it’s a good idea to change it around for a non-standard usecase. Granted, I would like you to be able to do what you want to do @dsalo (yay for spreading the word!) but the way is now is like that for a reason.

@dsalo do you know a bit of CSS? You could right-click→inspect the element and maybe adding .modal-body { min-height:initial; } to show the whole contents of the box helps with taking the screenshot. Or maybe use a different tool which understands JS popups.
