One of my users asked if there was a plugin to take automatically a screenshot from a submitted website url. He also asked if there was a wordpress plugin for this.
can anyone tell me if such a plugin exist for wordpress or if it's possible with php, ajax or any other language?
As far as I understand your question you can use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seekxl-snapr/ this plug-in will show a thumbnail of the url as the mouse over.
There are other plug-ins that uses websnapr[dot]com to create the images as well.
I personally don't know of any Wordpress plugins that take screenshots of a submitted website url, however there is a very nice service at http://browsershots.org/ that might be what you're looking for. Browsershots will render screenshots in almost any combination of browser and OS you could ever want.
Hope this helps.
I've had trouble with this for a while, it's so hard to get an accurate high quality screenshot generated. I've just released a stable plugin for handling this, it makes the process of automatically generating website screenshots in WordPress dead simple with a simple shortcode:
[browser-shot url="http://link-to-website" width="600"]
For more info checkout the official plugin page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/browser-shots/
As far as i understand, you want this.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/cmp/
This plugin creates a website screenshot using only a website URL and
save into your own wordpress media library.
After creating the image, wordpress will prompt you either to "insert
into post" or "change attributes" just like after you upload an image.
Renaming is available.

Thank you in advance.
The cache may be out of date for the link you are trying to share. Use the Post Inspector to test sharing the link and to cache the latest changes.
Great day to you all,
I'm using a forms plugin to create quizzes. In the plugin there is a piece of literary text on the left, questions on the right. I would like the user to be able to highlight or underline anything during the quiz. I have done a lot of researching to try and find a solution or a plugin to achieve such purpose.
If you please, assist I will be forever thankful. The plugin I'm using is eForm - WordPress Form Builder by WPQuark.
I have found the below tool set on one of the sites I was randomly browsing to find that what I am looking for is not impossible, but it is either custom-coded or a plugin somewhere. I can link the website that I have found this tool set on if you wish.

I am a newly minted WordPress developer. One of my clients runs a small private institution. To help their students, they post video and PDF material. In my opinion, I would rather give the user another role than give them admin access. For example, I need to create a layout for the video page and when my client posts a video, it needs to be dynamically added to the page. Would it be possible to make my life easier with a plugin? That way, I will not have to help them in the future. I have already done it for the PDF part. It does not work to add video as the post.
Thanks in advance.
I found the plugin that works well for my needs. Attached is the plugin URL for future reference (wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-video-gallery)
I'm using "Formidable Pro" which is a fairly popular plugin like Gravity forms. It has a portion to create forms and take those created entries and display them as "custom displays" which is working great EXCEPT for the fact that I have to go back to the page where the shortcode has been inserted to display these entries and hit update before it will pull the latest entries.
What in the world could be causing this?
I've already tried asking on their support forums and I'm getting no response so I'm kind of desperate. I've made sure that it is NOT the theme or other plugins causing the issue.
Issue lives on this page http://thenextarpg.com/skill-list/

Any help would be much appreciated!
The issue is probably your caching plugin. Try disabling WP Super Cache and see if your problem goes away.
Assuming that is what's going on there may be some heavier development required to fix it.
I'd start by looking for a way to tell WP Super Cache never to cache that page.
we have an author that wants to be able to easily bookmark various articles and have them appear in a wordpress backed site. Over the years we have been using a cobbled together approach where we use the delicious toolbar and it feeds to a google reader. They bookmarked using these tools and we used wordpress to consume the rss feeds they produced. Now google has removed this feature.
Im hesitant to add yet another bookmarking/rss service out there for fear that I will be back to this problem in 6 months. I was thinking of writing or finding a simple firefox addon that would just create a link or blog post based on the url (and possible scan the html or css). It seems like this is a common problem, any other ideas or suggestions on how to solve this? I proposed just having our author use wordpress admin to add links, but that was too cumbersome.
Have you tried the "Press This" bookmarklet that comes with WordPress? It's on the Settings → Writing menu. Just drag it up to the bookmark toolbar in your browser.
