unknown1 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Anyone know of a Website thumbnail generator that creates thumbnails of a specified site on the fly like the one at http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/website-thumbnail-generator.php but working on a Linux system. I have looked all over and can't seem to find one that works like that or even similar. Thanks in advance!!

unknown1 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 How would you use it to generate a thumbnail of a website tho?? The one above you can just do something like screencapture.php?http://msn.com&w=200&h=200 and it will give you a screen shot of the site on the fly... does the one you provided do the same?? if so how does it work... Thanks in advance!! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/185646-thumbnail-generator/#findComment-980282 Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknown1 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 That's exactly what I need but it needs to work with firefox or another linux browser... and that seems to be the biggest issue. Have you created one before?? Any ideas of how I could use it to capture image in firefox? Thank for your help.

unknown1 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Anyone else have a solution or any ideas... or can this just not be done in php on linux??

premiso Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I am pretty sure the only way this could be done is using the site that Dee posted above. It is very complicated and cannot be done without SSH access to the server, but yea. If there was a simpler way, I am sure that the tutorial above would not have been written. For more alternatives there is another thread in another forum already about this which you can find here: http://www.zubrag.com/forum/index.php?topic=55.0 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/185646-thumbnail-generator/#findComment-980421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
