Contao Search Screenshot
========================

[](#contao-search-screenshot)

This module adds a screenshot preview of a page to the search results.

### PhantomJS

[](#phantomjs)

PhantomJS is required in order to capture the screenshots.

To automate installing PhantomJS you can use the package `jakoch/phantomjs-installer`. Once installed, add `PhantomInstaller\\Installer::installPhantomJS` to the post install and update commands of your project's composer.json:

```
"scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": [
        "PhantomInstaller\\Installer::installPhantomJS"
    ],
    "post-update-cmd": [
        "PhantomInstaller\\Installer::installPhantomJS"
    ]
}

```

Now when you run `composer install`, PhantomJS will be automatically installed to `/vendor/bin/phantomjs`.

If you wish you can use a custom instance of PhantomJS by downloading it from . If you do this you may need to set a custom path for PhantomJS under Settings.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Generating screenshots

[](#generating-screenshots)

In order to generate the screenshots, a server cron job must be set up that runs the following command every minute:

`vendor/bin/contao-console search-screenshot:generate`

If you don't wish to wait, you can manually trigger the generation of screenshots for all pages from the CMS backend under System > Search screenshots.

Screenshots will be automatically updated every 7 days.

### Displaying screenshots in results

[](#displaying-screenshots-in-results)

The module makes a new variable `$this->screenshot` available in the search results template. This variable will hold the URL of the screenshot if it exists or be empty if not.

A template which includes the screenshot is included and can be selected when configuring the search module. Select `search_with_screenshot.html5` as the search template to use it.

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

Under System > Settings you will find some configuration options for the module in the "Search screenshot configuration" section.
