fert Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 wouldn't hitting the PrtSrc button be easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucasl Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Well, yes, but for something automated like a website directory, its much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hmm... doesn't work.[code]http://www.m-software.de/screenshot/Screenshot.png?url=http%3A%2F%2Fphpfreaks.com&scale=3&width=1600&height=1200[/code] should give a pretty big screenshot, but it's just a small one:[img]http://www.m-software.de/screenshot/Screenshot.png?url=http%3A%2F%2Fphpfreaks.com&scale=3&width=1600&height=1200[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbullmarky Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 fert, ctrl+alt+prtscr wouldnt necessarily be easier. consider a portfolio where you just want a snap of a website, not all the windows, etc, around it which you'd have to open in graphics editor, trim down, etc. i've seen it asked loads of times around here if it's possible to take a snapshot of a website (like Alexa, etc) so tools like this are well useful.I ran it through a translator to see if the source is available, but with no joy. if anyone can tell me any different though...I'd be a taker.

tcollie Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Here's another link for you to look at. He doesn't provide the source, but he provides an API so you can run the service through own site.[url=http://bluga.net/webthumb/index.php]http://bluga.net/webthumb/index.php[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeB Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I could think of a makeshift way of doing it with an external application, which is definitely how it could be done, and using PHP to execute it.Maybe I'll design something like it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webwriter Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I tried to get a script like this written through scriptlance, but the guy built it using Windows and Java so it was pretty useless for me. If anyone does get a automated thumbnail script working, I'd be happy to pay you for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrbnsn Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I just tried their service. Even though it's in Javascript, I find it very interesting.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
