Hello, I have just finished making a new webcam module that is 100% 4.5.1 compatible. Here is the readme from my module:

Webcam Module Readme

/**

This webcam module displays the output from a web cam that is located anywhere on the web.
It is highly configurable, and can display the full image as a popup window or using
overLIB (the same way mambo previews templates in the admin backend). This module makes use of
the overLIB script that is included with the mambo install. For more info about overLIB
visit: http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/

This module is very configurable

It takes the following parameters:
Webcam Image URL -> the url for the camera image
Image Alt Text -> alt text and caption in popup and overlib mode
Image refresh time -> number of seconds to wait before refreshing the image
Thumbnail width -> the width of the preview thumbnail
Thumbnail Height -> the height of the preview thumbnail
Camera Image Width -> Width of fullsize the camera image
Camera Image Height -> Height of the fullsize camera image
Popup Mode -> Choose how to view the full size image from the webcam.
Using overLIB (Javascript preview window.), a popup window, or thumbnail only
Module Class Suffix -> standard module parameter

To set it up you only need to set the Image URL.

Enjoy!

You can see it in action in overLIB mode here: http://www.quepasamedia.com/web/cont...ategory/73/41/

I have registered it at mamboforge, and I am waiting for the admins to open my project page, and I have also requested that Arthur add it to the downloads. The module is now available on mamboportal.com!

Hi

Have just installed your webcam module on a testbed server and WOW!! just so easy and works like a charm.

My colleague has made mods to the script to enable us to select from a range of webcams from the backend (he has emailed these to you) but we need to have a select menu on the page so users can select. We'll keep working on it but please let us know if this has already been considered.

Cheers, David

Hey thanks a bunch for the update. I will take a look at it, and probably add it into a new version of my release. Unfortunatly, it will have to be next week before I get to it, since I am giong to the beach for the rest of the week, and will be "off the grid".
