I guess my query is already mentioned in the subject.. Lemme go in detail though. With alexa turning paid long back and then msn recently going down, list of not so reliable screenshot providers have popped up. I guess the one time solution for this can only be having an integrated mod at phpld script to capture the website screenshot and store it in the phpld captured system, so as in we don't keep pinging the screenshot provider. Thus this way can be performed once a month and updates can be henceforth stored! Any phpld mod developer.. did you hear me on this one?
Dude there is already a mod by VS Dan at www.monster-submit.com , i am using and Dan has removed all bugs that were present. You can see it in action at www.h-log.com and www.sbclansite.com So problem solution exists all you need to do is grab the solution. Cheers
Girafa had the best thumnails by far. Large and accurate. I dont think its possible with php to grab a screenie, therefore i dont think a mod would do anything.
Well if i can add... leopard1 jut created a script for us that will update all the files at once that show thumbnails on the template as well as in the admin area at once rather then going threw every file which makes updating them all a lot faster then doing 5-7 files per directory. All our directories should be updated in a few hours thx malcolm
I have at least 4-5 thumbnail servers.. don't know if this MOD will help me. And besides that...why to pay for a MOD that will use MY server to create thumbnails... when I can have them free on others servers ?
The mod i am using , just fetches thumbnails from various such services like thumbshots etc. and it stores it on your server, so your server does not do fetching or any extra work at when browsing the directory.
