Screenshots next to Search Results

I realize that there is a MOD already about Google linked images and such, but I found a really easy way to have current screenshots show up next to your search results!

I simply modified the templates/standard/search_results.php and added an image tag with a link to an offsite thumbnail provider as such:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

<!-- results listing -->

<?php foreach ($qry_results as $_key => $_row){
$last_domain = $domain_name;
extract($_row);
if ($show_query_scores == 0) {
$weight = '';
} else {
$weight = "[$weight%]";
}
?>
<?php if ($domain_name==$last_domain && $merge_site_results == 1 && $domain == "" {?>
<div class="idented">
<?php }?>
<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
<tr>
<td width='150' valign='middle' rowspan='3'>


<img src='http://www.artviper.net/screenshots/screener.php?url=<?php print $url?>&w=100&h=100' width='100' height='100' alt='<?php print $url?>' />


</td>
<td width='80%'><b><?php print $num?>.</b> <?php print $weight?>
<a href="<?php print $url?>" class="title"> <?php print ($title?$title:$sph_messages['Untitled'])?></a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="description"><?php print $fulltxt?></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="url"><?php print $url2?> - <?php print $page_size?></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php if ($domain_name==$last_domain && $merge_site_results == 1 && $domain == "" {?>
[ <a href="<?php print 'search.php?query='.quote_replace(addmarks($query)).'&search=1&results='.$results_per_page.'&domain='.$domain_name?>">More results from <?php print $domain_name?></a> ]
</div class="idented">
<?php }?>
<br/>
<?php }?>
</div>
<?php }?>

<!-- links to other result pages-->

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A preview of the thumbnails(screenshots) in action:

or a link to my search: [www.tierrahosting.com]

. . . . . . .

I realize this is not a major modification as I'm only adding an offsite image link to the search engine, but I think it looks pretty nice!

Hope someone finds this useful,

Thanks. This code works real good.

Hi

How do i add this code?

I tried to replace this code with the one in the search_results.php

Can you please advise me how and where to enter the code

Thanks

I figure it out .... Cheers

Great addon !

I notice that some pages doesnt have a thumbnail generated ... will they get automatically updated ?

I am not sure. I think after the 1st time it loads the site will save an snap shot. I am not to sure. I know all images are on their sever. I hope this helps a little bit.

dude i've had that forever... you guys are so slow

Yes, the images are created and hosted by artviper.net and if the page hasn't been visited in your search yet, there should be a 'Image being generated' in it's place.

To be honest, I'm not certain as to how deep their image grabber goes, but after a couple of searches, it seems that everything had thumbnails.

Hope this works for you. I really liked it.
