Adding a Digg style screenshot to Wistie – UPDATED

Posted In Hacks - By Geoserv On Thursday, February 17th, 2011 With 71 Comments

An updated way to get Digg style screenshots to work on your Wistie template.

Earlier I showed you how to get screenshots to appear next to your submissions using WebSnapr, recently WebSnapr changed their coding, therefore the previous method will no longer work.

Thanks to our friend Karen there is an updated method to accomplishing this.

Open pligg.tpl, add the following before the closing

head

tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.websnapr.com/js/websnapr.js"></script>

save.

Open link_summary.tpl, place the following code where you want the screenshot to appear:

<script type="text/javascript">wsr_snapshot(‘{$url_short}’, ‘websnapr API Key’, ‘THUMBNAIL SIZE’);</script>

save.

Make sure you enter your WebSnapr API key in the above code as well determine what size you want the screenshot to be, valid sizes are as follows:

  • Tiny = t (90×70 Pixel)
  • Small = s (202×152 Pixel)

As far as styling goes, wrap the above code in a class or ID and add it to your CSS file and had whatever styling best fits your site.

Thanks to Karen for the heads up.

Enjoy.
