Creating screenshots through code.

Posted by: jmiloj

How often do you need to grab a screenshot of a browser page?

I tend to do this when starting a site redesign (capture the old site), when I am putting together a sample real of past work, and even during a project to track stages or steps.

Ben Nadel created a great demo of how to do this from cold fusion,

Webshot Demo

It uses cfexecute to run an executable called Webshot created by Nathan Moinvaziri.

I'd like to pair this with a spider/site walker to automatically create a snapshot of a site, and maybe to create a thumbnail sitemap for a site.

We'll see.

 
Continuing the discussion ...

There is another resource online that allows you to achieve the same thing (without needing cfexecute access... which most hosts will not allow).

Efflare (creators of ImageCR - which in my opinion is the best image resizing tool available to date) have been giving away URL2BMP for free for a while now.. (You can download it here: http://www.efflare.com/download/cfx_url2bmp.zip )

You simple call it as a CFX tag (host will register it... but they will do that before giving you cfexecute :) and then it will create a BMP file. You can then use any image resizing tool to convert it to a JPG or BMP.. (More details in the zip file).

More cool downloads for Efflare can be found here:
