ScrnshotsRSS: Scrnshots.com Plugin For WordPress
— This plugin for WordPress allows you to show Scrnshots.com captures on your sites. It’s based on the great flicrkRSS plugin by Dave Kellam and is very easy to setup and configure via an admin panel. The plugin also has cache support, allowing you to save thumbnails on your own server.

Installation
- Put scrnshotsrss.php in your plugins directory.
- Activate the plugin.
- Configure your scrnshotsRSS options under the Settings tab.
- To use an image cache, create a writable directory and specify its location in the settings.
- Add to your theme where you want the images to appear ( or use the widget system ):
<?php get_scrnshotsRSS(); ?>
FAQ
- When I enable cache, why do just a bunch of random characters show up?
You’ve probably specified the full path wrong. Double check with your host to make sure you’ve got it right.
Advanced
The plugin also supports parameters:
- $num_items: how many photos you want to display.
- $imagesize: small, medium, large or fullsize.
- $id_name: specify a user id ( ie:sksmatt ).
Example
<ul> <?php get_scrnshotsRSS( 10, "small", "sksmatt" ); ?> </ul>
This would show the 10 most recent screenshots from sksmatt user in small size.

Hi guys, thanks. Im glad you like the plugin :)
Looks great Matt! I was looking for something like this recently for http://www.webdesignire.com
With Scrnshots is it possible to custom size/crop your screenshots?
Hi Lee, thanks for the nice comment :) . Unfortunately no, you can’t custom crop them. As far as I know, you can take the screenshots however you want, and then retrieve them in 4 different sizes: small 100×100, medium 215×150, large 680×471 and in the full size version.
Hi there! Nice plugin, but I have a problem because the JSON module wasn’t enabled for my WordPress blog by default. I have a workaround for it, based on the post on http://blog.kapish.co.in/2009/03/17/json-and-wordpress:
1. Add after comment in scrnshotrss.php:
“require_once(ABSPATH.”/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/spellchecker/classes/utils/JSON.php”);”
2. Search for “$json_scrnshots = json_decode( $json, true );” and replace it with
“$json_obj = new Moxiecode_JSON();
$json_scrnshots = $json_obj->decode($json, true);”
That it works :)
Oh, I have a problem when I have some ” in my Scrnshot-description, the alt-tag of the image will be closed at the wrong place. I replaced the ” with ‘ to solve the problem, but this bug have to be fixed I think ;)
Hi Christian, Thanks for the big apport, the plugin has been updated now.
Cheers!
