Artviper website Thumbnails update !!

Just received an email from a DP member

Whats the artviper Alternative now ?

 

We received the same notice and will be changing ours immediately to another thumbnail service or may decide to make
our own like an0n did for directorydump... will have more data in next few hours

Update: we will use thumbshots.org as it seems to be an open source and free to all

PS... all network directories are now updated

thx
malcolm

 

Malcolm, thumbshots.org isn't free, they require a link back as described here.

 

I got the notice too but thought it was a scam/spam!

I'm gonna go with an0n too. He knows his sh@*

 

aha....thx for pointing this out silkster

Doesnt matter ill have him switch to another in a few minutes as it
took him 5 minutes to update the entire network

thx
malcolm

 

There I repeat again, register with snap guys, its the best one out there!

 

snap is so damn aggravating with that delay between popping up a screenshot on the mouse over. would be so much better if it were actually smooth.

 

Nopes I am not talking about pop-up snap code. If you register with snap, your domain has a unique key.

Use the key with its in code generating image code in the phpld codes. And trust me it rocks.

Snap also takes inner pages screenshot, also expect superb quality images with regular updates. Snap ROCKS!

 

whats the price humm ? can you give url where r u using it ?

 

Its free service buddy. Check out bams directory we are using it.

 

Works great, thanks for the tip, humm!

 

It seems artviper stopped thumbnails now.

Humm,, i signed up with snap, but i am confused with their code integration with phpld.
can you please guide up step-by-step for snap integration on PHPLD ?

 

I currently use thumbshots.org but it looks like snap is worth giving ago. I thought they only did pop up thumbs, but I see they do offer normal thumbs.

 

I had to do nothing much, just changed the URL from girafa to snap..

								   <img src="http://spa.snap.com/preview/?url={$link.URL|escape}" align=absmiddle style="border:1px solid #333333;" width="70" height="50" alt="{$link.TITLE|escape}" />

Code (markup):

This is what i use at http://www.nobledirectory.com/Web_Directories/

 

Snapcasa also provides free web page snapshots. Their service offers several different thumbnail sizes and the snapshots always appear really fast without the “Thumbnail Queued” image I used to get from other similar services. I also like how there is no script need to use it just an img tag in my html.
