Whether you want to make thumbnails of the sites, or full screenshots, or anywhere in between, this application is up to the task. Automate the process of creating thumbnails or screenshots of websites. You just need to connect to any mysql database with an id and url, and the screenshot processor will take care of the rest.

How to purchase:
1. Create a phpLD Account or login to your existing phpLD account.
2. Click on "Purchase Products" and select the Screenshot Processor.
We also have a forum for Pre-sales questions, as well as a Screenshot Processor Support Forum

Requirements:
1. This screenshot processor is for use by one individual on one computer.
2. This application works with Windows XP and Vista, and may work with some older versions of Windows also.
3. The host of your database must allow remote connections. Please make sure this is possible before purchasing the software.

Below is a screenshot of the (screenshot) application.



Section 1: Database Connection - this is where the values are added to connect to the database
Section 2: Table Selection - this application will actually work with ANY mysql database with the id field and the url field, and this is what you need to choose from your links table in your mysql database that you connected to in section 1
Section 3: Processed Links - shows processed links from previous runs on this job
Section 4: Allows for many different settings for size and image type. Image types can by BMP, PNG, JPG, GIF and WMF. At this point, we believe PNG is the best choice for quality and performance. When selecting sizes, try to choose good height/width ratios that would present the webpage well. If you choose "Full Page" the screenshot processor will get the whole web page from top to bottom, and only the width will be factored in.
Section 5: Current Progress - as the job runs the application shows the status of each link, which can be skipped, pending, processing, complete or failed. Two different browsers are used, so if one fails, another one tries to process. A failure is usually only marked after attempts by two browsers
Section 6: You specify a folder and the ftp settings for your website, and the screenshots are uploaded to this folder. At this point, all you have to do is write the code to display the images.
