Is this a solution to alexa thumbnails????

[Rob]

If we can get thumbshots.org to provide a thumbshot in the link details of esyndicat, then we must be able to alter some code somewhere to provide the thumbshot at the side of the links, instead of using alexa.

Please tell me if this has already been thought of......just a thought, and if this does work can someone give me the alternate code.

Maybe one of the designers can help do this...


Thanks...

There is the option for link details page:
CONFIGS
Link Details page
Preview display by Thumbshots.org Click "enabled"

or are you also wanting link display page to show them?

[Rob]

Yes i want the link page to show them.

Hi
That's easy.. Make the following changes in your templates:

*** open link-display.tpl and find the following code ***
<td valign="top" style="padding-right: 10px;"><img width="111" height="87" src="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=www.esyndicat.com&amp;size=small&amp;u rl={$link.url}" alt="" /></td>

*** change it to the following ***
<td valign="top" style="padding-right: 10px;"><div class="preview"><img src="http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url={$link.url}" /></div></td>

*** save changes ***

Currently we are working on the alternative ways to display thumbnails. We are checking Girafa services and some other sites offering similar services

Thanks for the code, it works, but it does not show alot of preview thumbshots.

Much appreciated, and i hope that you can find a proper solution for this.

Ive also had a look at Girafa and there is a monthly charge, hopefully we can find a free site that does not charge for thumbnails.

Thanks Zooalex,
*** in link-display.tpl following code ***

<td valign="top" style="padding-right: 10px;"><img width="111" height="87" src="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=www.esyndicat.com&amp;size=small&amp;u rl={$link.url}" alt="" /></td>

***replace with this code***

<td valign="top" style="padding-right: 10px;"><div class="preview"><img src = "http://www.m-software.de/screenshot/Screenshot.png?url={$link.url}&width=120&height=90" /></div></td>

***Save file**
You receive good service with opportunity of change of the size.

thanks , i can put a image on sponsor links , featured links but .. where I can change code for partner links ?

[Dave Baker]

Try to look in index.tpl

{foreach from=$partner_links item=link}
<div class="partner-link"><a href="{$link.url}" class="title" id="l{$link.id}" {if $config.new_window}target="_blank"{/if}>{$link.title}</a></div>
{/foreach}

How do I do this in 2.0?? This code doesn't appear to exist in 2.0 link-display.tpl I managed to get it to display ONE thumbshot but any additional links don't show. it's as if it isn't replicating the code...

Could sommeone take a peek at http://www.lakelandlocator.com/business/business-services/ and advise please? This is one of the last of three tweaks I need to do before I can go live.

( the other two are make these thumbs appear only for paidlistings and get the PR to work.)

I want to have the thumbs on the left of the link details on the link page as shown but umm displayng properly would be nice. lol thanks much!
