For your info I use the well known IEcapt.exe to create images of web pages given an url …

Even if you need to add some threads to avoid the freeze of your program during the creation of picture, it gives good results … results can be seen here at http://www.saepe.ch

Do you use it too ?

PS : thks again to David who is inspiring a lot !

I’m trying to use this script and I have the gallery working properly, however it keeps replicating the entire gallery anytime the page is refreshed. What can I do to prevent this?

This is really nice! But how do I get it to work when my images are separated from the script. I am trying to implement it with my Magento installation. I am passing $this->getSkinUrl(‘images/gallery/collection/’); that holds “http://localhost/magento/skin/frontend/mytheme/default/images/gallery/collection/” to $images_dir. That gives me the result “There are no images in this gallery.” Can you help me out here? I would really appreciate it!

Hi David,

a very nice solution. I get it to work when the images are stored in the same folder as the php file that is executed. I am about to include it into an Magento installation and my core images are separated from the file that runs the script. Im passing $this->getSkinUrl(‘images/gallery/collection/’); that holds “http://localhost/magento/skin/frontend/mytheme/default/images/gallery/collection/ ” to the variable $images_dir. The result, “There are no images in this gallery.” Can you help me out here? Give me some hints? I would really appreciate it!

Cant seem to make it work.
I keep getting “There are no images in this gallery.”

Ive been frying my brains for over 2 hours…
Followed Nobody’s walkthrough, changed folders thinking maybe this is a relative/absolute path mistake and still nothing.

Could someone please make a package of this?
Pretty please with sugar on top?
