emehrkay Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 What tech is used? I really want to use this feature in my site, but I cannot find any info on how it is done. One guy had something in the beta test forum, but he never got back to me on how it is done. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I've seen it done where you have a machine with KDE running, and you have that machine browse to the URL and take a screenshot - I'm willing to bet that KDE's not the only one that you can do this with, but I'm fairly certain that you need a DE running.

emehrkay Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 That doesn't seem very efficient. I would have thought you could do it with some sever-side software, possibly PHP using the functions that open websites and the gd library. Now I can understand having a dedicated server just for taking pictures of websites. What is DE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE stands for "Desktop Environment". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emehrkay Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Damn, I dont have dedicated server that I could setup to take snapshots with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azu Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Well then make a PHP application that displays a webpage correctly. Good luck because microsoft has failed in their attempts to even make a BROWSER that does this correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I saw a website a while back that did this using a dedicated Mac for loading pages in safari and screenshotting it, so similar to KDE I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
