Auto update screenshots?

yes, this is very possible. However I don’t recommend you generate all screenshots repeatedly, that’s quite a waste of resources once your list grows and most of the screenshots will be pretty much duplicated anyway.

I’ll post a plugin that would allow for a cron to render Pending screenshot requests, that should automate it enough for you I would think. Most admins of active lists login at least once a week or so and hitting that 1 button on the admin homepage has been acceptable.

You can run list=pending daily, even several times daily would be fine.

You will need to ask your host, paths and methods vary greatly from server to server.

The path to our script is correct.

That is very dangerous. Anyone knowing VL a bit could spam your list and thus screenshot server
If you edit that file anyway to have it callable by console, edit it in a better way
Code:
if (!isset($_COOKIE['atsphp_sid_admin']) && !isset($FORM['my_param']) || isset($FORM['my_param']) && $FORM['my_param'] !== 'someSecretLetters') {
Now call the file and append your secret string
Code:
https://clix.city/screenshots.php?list=pending&generate=1&my_param=someSecretLetters
