Browser Shots

Description

Use the [browser-shot] shortcode to automate the process of taking website screenshots. An icon is also added to the TinyMCE editor to make the shortcode creation process easy.

Shortcode Preview

// basic shot 600px wide
[browser-shot url="http://link-to-website" width="600"]

// shot with link to other website
[browser-shot url="http://link-to-website" width="700" link="http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/"]

// shot with caption (uses default WordPress caption styles)
[browser-shot url="http://link-to-website" width="700"]Add Caption[/browser-shot]

Available Parameters

  • url (required) – the url of the link to shorten
  • width – the width of the image
  • height – the height of the image
  • alt – the image alt text
  • link – where the image links. Left blank it will point to the website where the screenshot is being taken
  • target – browser target. Set to _blank to open in a new window
