I manage a website that serves banner ads using Google DFP.
A couple customers have been asking for daily screen-shots of the website which show thier ad in place. While most advertisers are happy with a report showing impressions/clicks, a couple are demanding the screen shots.
I have found a few tools that can get a screen shot from a specific page on a scheduled basis. I am running into 2 problems with most of these...
1) The "screen shot" does not always reflect what the site looks like after all of the javascript has applied. I need to wait until the javascript finishes before the screen shot is saved
2) I rotate mulitple ads into positions. I do not have a way to control which ad appears when the screen shot is taken.
Is this a common request to get?
Has anyone come up with an honest solution to either of these questions?
You can use irobotsoft tool. Go to your website, then use:
CapturePage(filename)
to capture the page into an image file. You can let it capture on a fixed schedule, or test the ad content before capturing.

I need to develop a web project for mobile devices. And I met an awkard situation.
This is customer's desire. A user come to the bar. He scan QR image with a phone camera, a banner appears to ask if he want to open the browser menu or an app.
Well, as a web developer this seems absolutely impossible. But the problem is that the customer claims that this is the most common UX those days. I am not sure what does it mean. Have you seen any kind of thing like this and know how to do it? Or is it just a customer's imagination?
Even if they implemented this via app, I just want to know how they were able to show the banner on a camera. Thanks in adavance.
I am not a developer but I am a university researcher studying informal education through social media.
Recently I just had my account disabled when I tested the application gramblr for uploading photos to Instagram. As I have a few members of my learning community who wanted to participate but could not afford a smartphone I wanted to find them alternate options.
Presently anything I upload and tag does not show up amidst other images with the same tag.
This is a big problem as I am the lead researcher and the community organizer, and I lead through example, as well as create various educational avenues through the use of tags.
Please help me to resolve this issue as soon as is possible.
Thank you

I was having the same problem. Gramblr actually broke my Instagram account. I had to delete it and start with a new account. Here is how I figured out how to upload photos from my PC with no smart phone:
1 - Download and install BlueStacks: http://www.bluestacks.com/ When running, this program will produce an environment in which you can run popular apps on your computer.
2 - Search for the Instagram app within the BlueStacks App Player & install it. Also search for the Roots Browser app and install it as well (you'll use this app to upload photos from your computer.)
3 - Open Instagram inside BlueStacks & either register a new account or sign in with an existing one.
4 - Open the Roots Browser app and navigate to the desired folder where you will be storing images copied from your computer. I chose SD Card > Pictures. Pull the image(s) into the folder & drop it. It will ask you where you want to send it - choose Instagram.
5 - Open the Instagram app. To upload photos from your computer you must go into the Instagram settings (maybe under Advanced Settings) and disable/uncheck the Instagram camera. In the lastest updates the placement of this checkbox option has changed, so it may take some looking around to find it.
6 - In the Instagram app, click on the camera icon to upload a photo. Choose gallery & then navigate through your Root Browser to the folder where you dragged in your chosen image(s). Choose an image.
7 - Post as you would normally by following the prompts/icons to progress.
I ran into 1 more issue. It turns out that my BlueStacks Instagram app would get stuck after choosing the photo & trying to continue with posting. The screen would turn black & nothing happened for a very long time. I ended up having to update my graphics card drivers & that fixed the problem. If you need help updating your graphics card driver(s) see the http://www.ma-config.com/en website. It will help you to figure out what drivers can be updated. You'll have to download the proper version for your computer operating system & install it on your computer. Double click the icon on your desktop after installation to run it & then hit the refresh button in the browser on the ma-config website. Follow prompts to download drivers needed.
This is the method that worked for me. There are several other methods if you search YouTube with combinations of words including BlueStack & Instagram.
Blue stacks has tons of adware/malware etc. according to my security software, the better work around is dropbox. Put the image in drop box on your computer, then on your phone select your photo from dropbox. A bit long winded but it works.
I'm walking in circles trying to create a new app in Apple's Itunes Connect. Here are the steps I'm doing:
When I log in to Itunes Connect I'm seeing a screen asking me to "Review the iOS Developer Program License Agreement."
I click continue and then I'm presented with a "Manage Your Apps" screen.
I click Add New App and it sends me to... the Agreement Update again:
So I click on Members Center this time and it goes here:
Clicking on Itunes Connect sends me back to... yes, the Agreement Update once more.
How do I solve this issue? Where is the secret door to adding a new app?
I got stuck here too - here's how it went for me:
Nothing showed up in iTunesConnect's finance/agreement area at first (... even though the links kept sending me there!)
I eventually found something to view/accept at the top of the general Apple Member Center home page.
After step 2, something new finally showed up in iTunesConnect's finance/agreement area that I could accept
After above steps I was able to continue what I was trying to do in iTunesConnect which, in my case, was setting up some new promo codes for my app.
Had the same problem. Tried clearing cookies and cache per above recommendations, nothing. Waited 20m, bingo. Looks like your contract acceptance has to go through some review process, whether manual or automatic, taking a bit of time. I imagine the cookies/cache-clearing having worked was simply you cleared at the right time.
Solution: Open the Link https://itunesconnect.apple.com from Laptop Not Mobile. It will ask you to Accept the Terms and condition. While you open the link from mobile the Accept option will not visible to you. So open the link from Laptop and Accept the terms and condition.

I m trying to setup a few image categorization tasks on Mechanical Turk sandbox developer version. When I try to view the HIT(the annotation image), it appears blank. I clicked on the 'Accept HIT' button but I still couldn't see anything.
In order to make sure that nothing was wrong with my project setup in particular, I signed in as a worker to accept HITS on other projects involving image categorization. I still continue to see a blank image in their categorization projects, where the image to be annotated is supposed to be displayed.
Can anyone help with this problem?Thanks.
Problem solved - it was a simple browser incompatibility problem.
I know you have already answered this for yourself, however for other requesters out there I think this may be useful.
I was developing HITs and I too was having issues view the HIT in Sandbox in Chrome and Firefox, I realized that it had something to do with the script being blocked by the browser and the way to fix this was to "unblock the content" - usually a shield icon in the URL bar.
When further developing my HIT I added information about how to see the HIT in the description box of the HIT so turkers could read the instructions and then work on the HIT - to be absolutely clear to the turkers, I added a "(READ DESCRIPTION)" in the title so turkers would know where to look.
Hope this helps!
A little background info is that my team and I developed a website for a Real Estate Agency and I've been assigned the task of setting the image of the currently selected property into facebook's sharing feature.
The webpage for the property is dynamic as there are several listings, so what I've done is select the first image that is loaded on the page and set it to the og:image meta tag.
Now let's say I copy the URL and post it on Facebook, it'll show the correct thumbnail, HOWEVER, it'll also show multiple thumbnails from other listings.
All images on the website are over 200 x 200px and are within an aspect ratio of 3:1.
My question is, how do I tell Facebook to only take my initial image and not grab others while it's as it.
Is there perhaps a SelectSingleImage property that I can apply?
I've already spent more time searching for the answer to this issue than I would have liked, so thanks for any help provided, it's much appreciated.
One method I use sometimes is to recognize Facebook's server and simply provide it with different data. This way you can actually only have one image on the page (as far as Facebook knows).
I don't know anything about vb.net, but here is a simple code sample in PHP. All it does is perform a regular expression on the user agent of the request to match it against the string "facebook".
$isFacebook = false;
if(preg_match("/facebook/",strtolower($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]))) {
$isFacebook = true;
}
Facebook may very well change their user agent signature one day, but for now, I'm pretty sure you'll be safe but keep synced with the Developers Blog and the Roadmap.
It seems that Facebook saved those images in cache for some bizarre reason, but to resolve this issue all I had to do was enter the URL into Facebook's Linter tool which in turn cleared the cache on their server.
