Hello,
Just found your service and must say I am impressed with it and thrilled that you offer an API and excited to get this working with vBulletin.
Please note I am not a programmer, so I do need assistance.
What I want is to get this to grab website thumbnails for my members homepage, this is only viewed on their profile page.
For now, I just stuck your simple method in there, but I want to use the advanced method so we can cache these thumbnails, which we will delete monthly or so via cron as you suggested in another thread.
Here's what the link grabbing the images currently looks like:
http://images.shrinktheweb.com/xino.php?stwembed=1&stwsize=lg&stwurl=$userinfo[homepage]
This is vbulletin's code to grab the members homepage url which they add in their profile.
$userinfo[homepage]
My full code is like so:
<a href="$userinfo[homepage]" target="_blank"><img src="http://images.shrinktheweb.com/xino.php?stwembed=1&stwsize=lg&stwurl=$userinfo[homepage]" width="125" height="125" border="0" style="border: 3px double #aacbec" alt="$userinfo[username]'s Homepage" /></a>
This is done in the MEMBERINFO template, so I cannot stick your PHP code in there, with vbulletin, any PHP code has to be inserted via vbulletin's plugin system where we can make use of hooks.
I don't know where to start but I've downloaded your code, I just don't know what to do with it or how to link to it or request images based on the vbulletin code: $userinfo[homepage]
Thanks for your time.
