Link Manager 3.0 Support Thread

[clydejones]

OK, I'll make it admin selectable (just like some of the other options) but make it optional with a default image.

I'll also add a default image folder in the admin probably images/link_images.

Can you guys check out the banner image upload option for Links Manager.

You can do it here

Let me know if This is close to what you wanted.

Note: Please try it both ways 1 upload an image and 2 no image.

Many Thanks

I just submitted my link. I uploaded my logo since it said "banner image". I would rather have a thumbnail for each entry than a banner. Or maybe an option for a banner separate from a thumbnail. Have you heard of www.thumbshots.com ? They automatically do a thumbnail sized screenshot of the home page of the site in question. I had this service from a similar site: www.girafa.com It was for a link directory I created. I am letting the link directory expire. The girafa thumbs do work for the site anymore and I don't have time to find out why. It looks like they're still in business and maybe still a free service but perhaps I needed to update something I don't know about to get the thumbs to show up again. It was an addon that someone else created for phpLD. Just thinking out loud. I don't know if you are interested in doing something like that.

Check you link here

There is an option in the admin to set the size of the link image.

I don't know what your original image size was but it shows up on the links page at the settings I have in my admin options 150 x 30.

That's cool. I will make sure to list what the dimensions will be to submitters so that they know. I appreciate your adding this feature and putting all the images for links in their own folder :o)

Amy,

How did you do the "Date Reminder" option? I'd like to try adding something similar to my daughter's web site.

[clydejones]

I just added my link and left my image at it's original size (not sure what that is even). I'm curious to see how it appears. I'd think most people are not going to resize and shape their image just for a link from my site. As long as it appears proportional, I'm thinking it's fine.

Check your link here.

As I told Amy, the image will resize to whatever settings you have in the admin options.
