10,000 custom thumbs to your hosted galleries...FREE!!!

10,000 custom thumbs to your hosted galleries...FREE!!!

Actually you can make a million thumbs if you have the galleries.

Beta testers needed for thumb maker and TGP builder for hosted galleries.

This script automatically crawls hosted gallery links and selects thumbnails
and then builds a TGP.

It then ranks the thumbs by surfer clicks and increases your productivity so you can
build more traffic. It re-ranks and rebuilds your site on a time set by you.

You can control the size of your thumbs and replace thumbs you don't like and you can add
new thumbs automatically at any time and in any spot you choose.

Basically all you have to do is copy and paste your gallery URLs into a text area of the
script and click "get thumbs".

Compare this script to cumus thumbs($385 for one domain)!!!

It works on any gallery but I mostly had hosted galleries in mind.
No PHP or SQL needed, it runs on the basic server with PERL.

Here are two sample sites that currently use this script:
http://blackmonsters.com/main.shtml
http://asspackers.com/main.shtml



Use this link to download the free script for beta testing.

Use this link for more explanation of the script and installation instructions.

http://getthumbs.com




Please let me know how it works for you and email me here for any support issues:
(webmaster at econfirmpro dot com)


PS: For those who don't know; I wrote econfirmpro which was the very first TGP email confirmation script on the market. Many webmasters were very happy with that script and I think this new script is of equal or better quality.

What skim does the beta take and the thumbs arent of all great quality to be honest

[Evil Jawa]

your script sucks

There is no skim in this script.
I take no traffic (if you join new sponsors on the links in the script I will recieve credit).

This is a beta test to help develop the script further.

The quality of the thumbs can be controled by a few factors in the script but you have to actually look at the script first to see that.

If it was already perfect then it wouldn't be free...my price as listed on the site is $199.

I'm using it and I think it's good but I could use a little more input from others who use it.

Click through on my paypal link on econfirmpro and you will see how many qualified buyers(paypal qualified) have already used my scripts.

I posted a 02:23 and by 02:27 you had downloaded the script; set it up on a domain; ran it on 200 hosted galleries and posted a reply.

I trust your opinion a lot....Thanks.

[blackmonsters]

I have to go to bed now; it's 5:30 Am and I stayed up all night.

I wil continue this in a few hours.

[Wilbo]

Anybody try it yet?

It's free and does not take any traffic from your site so you should try it out.
The script definitley works or I wouldn't be running it on my sites.

The beta testing is to help me improve it and find bugs.
I hate to sell something for $200 and have people screaming about bugs.
I don't want to be Bill Gates.

[Wilbo]

I just bought a script like this 2 days ago, otherwise I would jump on it.
I'm having problems with my paid script, I may play around with yours
while I'm waiting for support.

What sold me on the other script was it's use across many domains on
the same server. I really wish I had seen this before I shelled out real
money

Hmmm...across domains...

That's the kind of feedback I'm looking for. I could certainy add that ability to the script.
Let me get more feedback from others and then I can make a list of upgrades that people need the most.


If you are having problems with the script you bought then you should try mine because it is written in PERL and does not require SQL or other problematic software.

You got nothing to lose and I bet it will be hard to find something else like this that doesn't even skim your traffic.

I only hope some beta testers will let me refer then to some new sponsors and it is not manditory.

Hmmmm, it would be nice to place a link to getthumbs.com on your site if using it for free but certainly not manditory.

[Wilbo]

You should post this on AWI, they would love this script there.

[wargames]

Cool offer.

I'm getting an error when I try to create thumbs in step 4

Unexpected field value http://galleries.analdestruction.com...dex.htm?wilbo1 at /www/mgp/domain/cgi-bin/getthumbs/getthumbs.cgi line 1593

Sounds like you had a couple of URLs on the same line.
Each gallery URL must be on a separate line.
Paste them in a txt file and make sure then copy them again.

Other than that: Check uploaded all files in ASCII(very important)
Check file permission set and all folder chmod 777.


What does the log file from the script say?

Everything is uploaded and permissioned correctly.
The log file just says:

ENTER AUTO MODE
ENTER AUTO MODE
ENTER AUTO MODE


I tried it a few times as you can see :-)

[blackmonsters]

If all the above checks out then try this:

open getthumbs.cgi in notepad (right click/open with)

Go to line 1590 (assuming it will be the same line)
and see this code:

my $headers = new HTTP::Headers(
Accept => "image/*",
Referer => $referrer,
Connection => Keep-Alive,
timeout => 120
);

Now edit this to place double quotes around the other fields just like the
"image/*" part.

Do not put a comma after "120"

and run it again and let me know what happened.

[tedwinters]

I'm just getting started in this crap
sooo.. I'll definately give it a try!

but, it'll take me a few days minimum to get any useable feedback for you

[Wilbo]

OK, I edited it to this:

my $headers = new HTTP::Headers(
Accept => "image/*",
Referer => "$referrer",
Connection => "Keep-Alive",
timeout => "120"
);

and that seemed to do the trick :-)

Thanks!

If you need any help installing it just let me know; I'm glad to help you.

[tedwinters]

nah, installing's not the prob I just gotta get some accounts with hosted galleries hahahah

Thanks!

Wow, that is weird because it has no problem on my server.
I will add this code to the main script for everyone!

hehehehe...I bet you would have been pissed if you just paid $200 and I was out drinking until tomorrow.

When thumbnailing in "Smart Crop" mode, it seems to just take the left side of the thumbnail and leaves the right side out. Is there a way to center it?

What is the URL so I can run it and check it out?

[Wilbo]

http://galleries.analdestruction.com...dex.htm?wilbo1

Going to bed now, I really appreciate the script and the support. I'll check this out some more tomorrow.

[Hornydog4cooter]

Cool script i was just looking for something like this

I see what you mean.
Smart crop can behave differrently on different sized thumbs but generally is just fine with me.
this is kinda complicated math to center it exactly so I will have to work on that for a while.

Also, some gallery images will look bad even when cropped in the middle because of the way the pic was cropped origially.
That's why I have several way to make the thumb.

For now I suggest running as is and then after building the site "redo" the thumbs you don't like using another method.

The automatic mode really gets your site up but the webmaster who fine tunes his thumbs using manual mode is going to have the better site; no dout!

do you have an icq/aim i can contact you on? hit me up, I have a few questions. thanks!

[thewebgarage]

I only us email -- webmaster at econfirmpro dot com

I prefer you ask questions here because others will have the same question and it saves me time to only answer it once.

[More Booze]

Thanks, I'll install it later today

[blackmonsters]

Must sleep now; back in 5 hours to answer any questions.

[blackmonsters]

Ok, who has a question?

[blackmonsters]

Bump, dagnabit.

[jonpotz]

this works with trade scripts?

[blackmonsters]

Yes, it works with all trade scripts!!!!

[thewebgarage]

your instructions say upload the proper htaccess file. what would that be?

[blackmonsters]

Originally Posted by thewebgarage

Use htaccess for password protection.
It's actually not needed if you change the password to your script; it's just extra protection.

You should be able to just copy one from a protected folder on your server and use the same password.
So if your stats are password protected then just copy the htaccess file from your stats directory into the "cgi-bin/getthumbs/" directory.

Anybody have a working site with this script up and kicking yet?

[blackmonsters]

You probably want to hear from someone who just installed it but here are two of my sites that use it if you just want to see what type of site can use the script.

http://blackmonsters.com/main.shtml
http://asspackers.com/main.shtml

[blackmonsters]

Nows here some interesting info for those thinking about the script.

http://asspackers.com/ap_stats.html

The link above shows the stats for that domain since 2003.
Check it out and see what the script did for this site.

Of course I made more traffic trades and such but surely the script must have pushed this site since it did nothing before.

I think the site would be twice as good if I installed UCJ!!!!!!

I get 500 Internal Server error when navigating to:
http://www.blablabla.com/cgi-bin/get.../getthumbs.cgi
What did I fuck up?

[tedwinters]

did you set chmod to 755 for all things needed?

hummm.. there wasn't an instruction file that came in the zip, eh?
I have mine running.... but.. It says 'collecting thumbs' in the background, only, thumbs never appear

Check:
- correct path to perl in script (#!/usr/bin/perl...ask your host)
- chmod 755 the script
- chmod 777 all directories
- Upload script again using ASCII transfer mode

If it still fails: contact host ask if libwww is installed and let them see the script for modules they don't have installed

[Antonio]

I think I did, I followed the instructions step by step

Installation instructions:

You are running in Auto mode.
You will not see any thumbs; but look in the log and you should see the URLs
being processed and a link to each thumb. Click to view.

If the thumb is not there then:
check-
correct path to thumb directory
chmod 777 thumb directory

[Antonio]

installing on another host
lets see how it goes
Ok, my path is: /usr/bin/perl
In the three cgi fiels it's : #!/usr/bin/perl.

Do I leave it as it is? I mean do I have to remove the #! part?

[pornguy]

Looks pretty nice. I hit up a friend that may be interested. but he is off line right now.

Do not remove the "shabang" (#!)

Your server looks for this to find the path to PERL!

The shabang must start in he first byte of the file.

Every path to PERL will look like this #!/blah/blahblah/


Don't remove or edit any other code in the program.


Also make sure "config.pl" is uploaded.
