Are all of your screenshots "unsupported"? I only had about 3 out of 200.

Yes.

I have switched to not store locally to get rid of the miniture.io screenshots, run the support tool

Now all of my links in say unsupported.

These are just normal websites so should be fine?

@Unlucky, when I tested Screenshot machine awhile ago, it does not allow HTTPS websites on their free plan. It will return "Unsupported"

unsupported

Free account owners are not allowed to call our API using HTTPS protocol.

You should make request to 

http://api.screenshotmachine.com

not to

So if I buy that pay as you go 20 euro package I should be fine?

Think we will go that route.

Thanks everyone for their help

I'd say so, it works fine for me. I never tried their free version first, though, but I too was going to suggest that maybe having the free version was why your screenshots didn't work.

[Adriano Faria]

screenshotmachine checks if you're using secure connection (https):

	protected function getImageUrl()
	{
		$apiUrl = \IPS\Request::i()->isSecure() ? 'https://' : 'http://';
		$apiUrl .= "api.screenshotmachine.com/?";
		$apiUrl .= "&key=" . \IPS\Settings::i()->links_screenshotmachine_api;

 

So no change is required.

And the generated thumbnail is fine:

But you only have 100 per month in the FREE plan.

[Unlucky]

This is weird

I have upgraded to the 2000 shots.

If I try to store images locally I get the unsupported image displayed for existing links even after going in via ftp - removing the existing image and doing the refresh thumbnail option.

I have also purged our cloudflare cache and ran the IPS support tool

https://www.walkingfootball.com/links/link/52-fleetwood-town-flyers/

If I choose not to store images locally the correct website thumbnail is displayed for existing links.

If I choose to create a brand new link, it appears to work ok with the store locally option

https://www.walkingfootball.com/links/link/55-derbyshire-walking-football-league-65s-division/

I can't delete everyones links and recreate them as it will zero all of their link stats

Totally lost now

Why don't you change that? What difference does it make to you? If the image is already generated, it won't generate again.

I'm working on a new version and won't be able to release a fix for this, if there's an error there.

Mainly for speed, security and if their site goes down we still have the image displayed ok

ok will wait for the new version

[Millipede]

Have you tried clicking "Edit" instead of "Refresh thumbnail"? You don't need to actually edit anything, but it might work better to activate the refreshing of the screenshot. Whilst in edit mode, scroll to the very bottom of the entry where it'll show the thumbnail.

Like I said earlier, I can't remember exactly how I went about it, but it might well be that I clicked "Edit" for each link that was "unsupported" or had some other error image, and it fixed it. Two or three of them stayed with an error image, and I made my own screenshots for those.

[Adriano Faria]

Not sure this is related to the app itself. The rebuild image simply clear the link image column, so it got grabbed again with the current image provider. I don't see errors there.

Something related to the cloudflare? Not sure.

Maybe I've misunderstood, but I'd have thought you'd get the above if you did store locally instead of not storing locally?

It didn't work for me when I tried it when I was having similar problems to Unlucky, the screenshots remained in their respective uploads monthly folders and still showed in links. That's why I went and manually deleted all the miniature.io thumbnails via FTP.

Even didn't delete the files in the uploads folder, the column in DB is null, which makes the API to grab the image again. That's how it should work.

I'll take a look in delete files from UPLOADS folder.

[Unlucky]

Don't worry I will not store them locally for now - when the new release comes out we can switch then

thanks again

Not good because you share your api key

Do you mean if you have the o EUR option?

We have bought pay as you go plan so are we ok?

Second call: 

Does anyone use the PAID link feature in this app? I am planning a total overhaul in this area; it will use packages, where you can set price, number of days, pin, feature, etc.

I won’t support two similar features in same app so if this not widely used, I will drop it.

Ok, I'm dropping the PAID links feature and will add a Package module. New version yet this week.

Hi,
Is it possible to disable url direction? in the links?
Because i can't put twice the same link url - which i show you in the bottom on the picture

[Adriano Faria]

You have to edit a file in order to allow same URL:

It's in my TODO list a setting to this. A new version must be out until the weekend.

Thanks

Anything else? I don't have anything related to Curl in Links Directory.
