Will a Linux version be available?

Antony

I'm also interested in the linux version. Thanks

Have you but the linux version. Thanks

Thanks! It's just what I want,thanks again!

I'm also interested in the linux version. Thanks

ofcourse there's no linux version, it's executing IE and IECapt. I guess if you have those running on linux then you'd have a linux version.

seems to freeze on large images, i want this to loop through a list of sites but gets stuck on one and i presume its the images size?

If someone would make a unix/linux version of the iecapt.exe, I'd pay money for it. <hint>

Thank you very much! Just what I needed!

Dose anyone know of a linux version?

Hi,
I want unix version, can someone make it for me.

I need a linux version as well.

This looks fantastic zubrag - however, sadly I too need a linux version -if anyone know of such a script, please post a message.

Guys they have some info about Linux screenshot takers on the forum http://www.zubrag.com/forum/index.php?topic=55.0

I am also interessted in a Linus port!

you´re the best

Causes too many errors on my windows box..
Looking to run it off line and cache all the files instead

The concept is simple. There are lot's of linux web browser code out there. Someone could recreate the same idea as iecapt using an opensource browser.

But, it won't be me. As it turns out, this is a great solution for me as it.

Any one know why I am not getting screen shots of web page i am supplying
webthumb.php?url=http://www.addontechnologies.net even it not giving any error but it not saving screenshot of this site I am using PHP.5 and on Wamp server is there any problem
Thanks in advance

gr8 script is there linus version with you ?

Linux version please

thankyou, thanks, and thankyou again!

linux version required!

trying webthumb - fingers crossed........

how do i set permissions for

Permissions to execute third-party applications (i.e. exe files)
Permissions to execute Internet Explorer

Thank you very much. I love your script. I have some additions:

if (isset($_REQUEST['url'])) {
$website_url = $_REQUEST['url'];
$website_url = trim($website_url);
if(strpos($website_url,"http://")===false)
$website_url = "http://".$website_url;
}

Because IECapt will hang if there is no http:// in front of the url.



$thumbnails_folder = strrev( strchr(strrev($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]),"/") )."cache/";

to be independent of installation location.

I can confirm that the webthumb tool from this site:
http://www.boutell.com/webthumb/
works very good.

hello..i'm aila..i'm php beginner..my prob is now,i'd built website using tikiwiki and it jus could open by mozila..but the problem is i wanna make a link (ip camera) and open it with internet explorer(6.0 ++)..does any1 knows how to solve it??

Can i limited the saved Screen Size to 400x400 ?

the Saved image iss great ,so great as the website....Sorry my english is very bad :-(

Pls help me..

The image proccessing automatically resizes the image based on requested size a request using &S=400 would display a thumbnails 400px in width and 300px in hieght! This is done to display a squared thumbnail, our premium service once complete which will be $10 a month will allow you to display full length thumbnails, http://thumbnailspro.com/examples.php, which would allow you to do 400x400!
Thanks for using thumbnailspro.com for all your website thumbnail needs!

I use windows version. Working very nice.

Cant seem to get this to work om my Winxp box. I have PHP5 installed, but it seems like IECapt cannot write to the directory that I have specified. I enabled scripts and executables in the virtual folder, I gave the cache folder full permissions for IUSR_ANONYMOUS, and everyone. if i pipe the command out to the screen and run the IEcapt in CMD window, then it will create the picture, and then the PHP script will show the thumbnail. Any ideas?

I get a IECapt.exe is not a valid Win32 Application.

Help!

Thanks,

Sagexl

Is there a hosting company that will support hosting IECapt.exe (a third party executable) as well as IE explorer?

can someone provide host providers that can host executables such as IECapt.exe and also have internet explorer so IECapt.exe can invoke it

Can someone please help me with the installation? I seem to be lost.I've unzipped the Files into the same directory
but its all down hill from there. Can Someone tell me what do I have to do to get and actual thumbnail out of this whole script?

Hi, I have downloaded the latest version of file and the IECapt.exe as well. but it doest not work.
http://www.sahil24.org/web2thumb/thumb.php?url=http://www.microsoft.com


Error : Source file name must be specified.

Thank you very muck!

Great script! However, the output image is not resizing to the specified x and y. Any idea?

hi i m using this script its really nice and its very easy to yse thanxx www.funrocker.com

this a great can we get a linux version .. I need it from www.cricketu.com .. this is a cricket website for cricket videos and news and I want to generate thumbnails for the video pages

i get this error :(
Fatal error: Call to undefined function ImageCreateTrueColor() in C:\wamp\www\image.class.php on line 131

IECapt.exe doesnt seem to work, i need a lunis version, do you know where i can find one?

Hello admin, do you mean the we need the window hosting or window operating system for the requirements?

There's no need to be unpolite if you're not paying for a product ;)

Brilliant!
Who wouldn't want it on a Linux box but I think that the reference to the Boutell website should be a pointer in the right direction.

Cheers,
Ian

Than you very very much. Nice solution.

i tried/failed so many options for webpage capturing at my home server. I was so happy to find webthumb but xvfb does not start, it gives SecurityPolicy file not found error.. I was very close..

very good script its only missing one thing .... a q'ing image saying somethin like thumb is being processed"

All xp users might have better luck using the location like this:

@exec('./location/to/IECapt.exe' . escapeshellarg($website_url) . ' ' . escapeshellarg($cached_filename));

instead of:

@exec('c:/xampp/IECapt.exe' . escapeshellarg($website_url) . ' ' . escapeshellarg($cached_filename));

thanks

I could not set this up. I ended up using Snapcasa which 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. Best of all its on their server and I dont have to use my system resources.
snapcasa.com

Thanks for the script anyway!

THis is a great script however... if want to make a thumb it doesn't resize it... @_@ I tried alot but it doesn't work.. is just want a nice small thumb of 100x100...

thanks for program.

I like this script
http://www.cuculetzu.com

of course everyone woudl like one for linux since about 50% or more of the web servers are linux...

Thumbnail Generation Error. Thumbnail not created

Please help me abt this.

Thanks in advance.

i can use this script at http://www.cowboywaysguys.org but i cant understand how do work

hi i m using this script its really nice and its very easy to yse thanxx www.masti101.net

No point unless it's available for Linux.

No-one uses Windows hosting. It sucks.

Very usefull, thanks works on vista/xampp like a charm, take a look at the little modifications below in php-script. then IECAp won´t hang.
Once again, nice script

thanks of the scripts.

Works great.
Is there a linux version?
www.TopRankBid.com

I like it.

Great script

I cant cut images to desired dimensions!!! it always create thumbs on default size. Please help!

For all the people that are having problems with it, you can now use if for free here on <a href="http://www.mythumbnail.net">MyThubmnail.net</a>

That's http://www.mythumbnail.net/

90% off all servers in the world run Unix. Strange there is no Unix/inux version.

Any news? for Linux?
www.TopRankBid.com

Is there a realistic experience of operating a programme similar to Linux

All I get is this error
Thumbnail Generation Error. Thumbnail not created.

so this is windows only? why?

Thanks for the scripts - it works and I am loving it!

For those ppl shouting about Linux version - come on - the guy has made this script available free - if you want a Linux offer to pay the guy some money for his time and stop complaining!

I find this script works well, but for me it gets overloaded then crashes. If I try and just do about 1-3 thumbs at a time, it works fine, but when a webpage of mine, www.iknowauto.com, tries to load 10-20 thumbs on the same page, and those thumbs have not yet been cached, the IECapt crashes. Anyone have a solution for this, maybe a way to increase the queued time?

OMG... For once I'm embarrassed by fellow linux users. GUYS this is something that runs INTERNET EXPLORER! You want a linux version?!?!? Show me IE for linux first...

http://www.mythumbnail.net/ is NOT working. Get an error

"Thumbnail Generation Error. Thumbnail not created."

After spending a lot of time tring to set up a reliable way to capture webpage snapshots I gave up!
- Capturing snapshots is a resource hog.
- Security was a big issue; websites containing harmful script cannot be captured because they have to be loaded on your server making it vulnerable
- Huge bandwidth consumption
- There are so many different websites and issues you will run into such as pop up messages, flash, and JavaScript to name a few. It is difficult to capture a wide range of websites correctly.

My final solution was to abandon my attempt and use a free website thumbnail generator. Snapcasa serves about 16000+ website snapshots daily on three of my domains for free and without a watermark. There are many snapshot providers online but I found snapcasa.com to be the best. You may also want to try websnapr and picoshot but they have watermarks and have limited sizes. Save yourself the frustration I went through and let one of the online snapshot providers worry about it.

i have a linux version that is based on mozilla, who is interested, my Yahoo! id

Hello

Do you have a demo working verion?
Thanks

I would also pay money for a linux version!

IECapt. really a useful tool!
thanks a lot
MyChoize.com

I try your sample, but I got this message:

Thumbnail Generation Error. Thumbnail not created.

can you explain to me, what is wrong ???

I use this line to define my thumbs folder:

$thumbnails_folder = strrev( strchr(strrev($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]),"/") )."cache/";

Anyone has success with this? Please provide your URL.
I want to use this to my web www.avun.com.

The cutx, cuty does not work for me.
The resize (x=, y=) also does not work.

I am using IE6 and xp.
I have tried all different versions of IECapt.

wow

Script is very useful. But it hangs sometime (due to exec() command) when got long or redirected urls.

You can found Linux version on http://4gu.ru

for the users who want to get the get the screeen for dynamic url. You have to change a line of code in webthumb.php.

Line 71:
Change
@exec('IECapt.exe ' . escapeshellarg($website_url) . ' ' . escapeshellarg($cached_filename));
To
@exec('IECapt.exe --url=' . escapeshellarg($website_url) . ' --out=' . escapeshellarg($cached_filename));

Nice One

Can php script be installed on window hosting

THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH. GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE REWARD FOR THIS CODE.
THANK YOU!

Thanks for the good script. I've take a look at linux script but they need administrative to config the server (or rights to run script perl, cgi, ... on servers), not only php.

Do you know where can find PHP-only script to do the same work?

Thanks.

http://freewarecollection.co.cc

Thank You! This is best script!

Again, a linux version would be amazing. I know a few exist out there, but to publish something like this on shared hosting using exec() would be mint.

I have the same question about "delay" for flash sites

The path for the thumbnails is where ever on your server that you want to save the thumbnails.

Great script!

Amazing work man ....really liked it a lot.Thanks for sharing such good information

I guess that a Linux version could be created if the code that is executed was to be written into a more linux friendly program language.

There are a lot of people whom use Linux Website Hosting Services so i am sure that a Linux Version would be a great idea.

~ Mike

Please give us linux version...

<a href='http://www.mehedibd.com'>PHP Developer Bangladesh</a>

include('image_file.png') has problem on utf8 and less efficient(i guess).

// my suggestion
print file_get_contents('image_file.png',FILE_BINARY);

Most people need a LINUX version because most are using Apache on a LINUX server.

Perhaps looking into using ffmpeg, I am pretty sure it has a function to create thumbnails even from video. Or maybe MEncoder could be utilized for a LINUX version. The previous LINUX webthumb creater mentioned here uses Bash, which is not cool if you are on a hosted server, or even worse, a hosted virtual server. It needs to use image binaries that are already existant on the server in a standard LINUX install, or at least one that is commonly used and GNU.

This is a great LINUX hosted alternative - http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/

I cant get past the:
Thumbnail Generation Error. Thumbnail not created

Putting my hands up for a Linux version too :)

This one is cross-platform cutycapt.sourceforge.net

www.allfan.ru

linux demo:

try http://www.sitethumbshot.com/. they provide free thumbnail generation services.

i have tested according to above prescribed but not working but not working can anybody kind heared person exlplain me the step.

I have it all installed but how do I make a code for it to work on my website??
Like this code
<img src="http://www.shrinktheweb.com/xino.php?embed=1&u=f948d&STWAccessKeyId=eceXX0631XXXXXX&Size=xlg%20&Url=<?php echo $url; ?>

Has anyone been able to get it working cross platform with CutyCapt? Help would be appreciated!

I will basically use this probably here:
