How to get the correct image-thumbnail from websnapr

[fhelik]

I have a question, when guetting the images we use this:


http://images.websnapr.com/?url={$url_short}&size=T

but that {$url_short} is just the domain url of the news site, and not the complete URL to get to the news.

so for example:
YouTube - Bad Day at the office! (COMPILATION VIDEO)

and i will get the image for

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. and not to the YouTube - Bad Day at the office! (COMPILATION VIDEO)

anybody know for what I can replace that to get the correct image

I believe websnapr only provides you with the root url image.

Websnapr only provide the domain name image (homepage), I think. But check with the website, I am not really sure if you can customize it from there. Check it out, maybe they are charging an extra $$ on doing this.

$url_short just show the root url of the submit site right?

what is $story_url , ?? erm... also $url ..

please anyone to know how to get websnapr from the real url.. not only the main root url..

when i submit friendster ur, it just shows friendster main page, no friendster profile for the url.. damm.

after i try to replce some url, playing2 with the script.. now i get this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDIF in /home/ringgitt/public_html/awekz/class.template.php(745) : eval()'d code on line 435

aiyaaa... so much trouble.. i think i need to reinstall fresh copy again..

this could be problem from libs/link.php ... $smarty function.. cannot call $url

i try make another function

function copy($url) {
$url_long=$url;
return $url_long;
}

and call $url_long... but useless :-(.. please help

Can't help you with your error. Try to replace all files that you modified maybe it'll fix it.

You can try this instead Websnappr. Don't know how good the service is but it seems to work fine. As you see I'm using $enc_url instead $url_short. $enc_url is the address that is given when the story is submitted.

	  <img src="http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url={$enc_url}" />

The thumbs are called from /templates/yourtemplate/link_summary.tpl around line 74
<img src="http://images.websnapr.com/?url={$url_short}&size=T" style="float:right; padding-left:10px;padding-top:35px;">

For anyone who wants to remove the websnapr thumbnails and change to a different free service, this is the best option that I have seen. Thanks Andtony!

Instructions:

in /yget/link_summary.tpl

REPLACE:

<img src="http://images.websnapr.com/?url={$url_short}&size=T"

WITH:

<img src="http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url={$enc_url}"

I'm sorry, it could be your libs/link.php

if you done nothing to your site (i mean no huge customization)
try to restore back the files using fresh link.php..from fresh pligg script..

i think u must edit some smarty fuction like i did.. my prob already settle.. i just remove my dumb function in the file and edit story***.tpl thats it..

let me know if you still face the problem..
