i am missing one thing in this mod, and that is that the alexa image is still the image from the affilate link.....

Is this correct ? i would like to have the image to be the one of the real website and not the one from the affiliate link.....

In the code for Alexa image find section:

<img width="111" height="87" src="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=www.esyndicat.com&amp;size=small&amp;url={$link.url}" alt="" />

and replace it with code:

<img width="111" height="87" src="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=www.esyndicat.com&amp;size=small&amp;url={if $link.display_url neq 'http://'}{$link.display_url}{else}{$link.url}{/if}" alt="" />

This will display image for the main site.

Basically you just replacing code:

{$link.url}

with code:

{if $link.display_url neq 'http://'}{$link.display_url}{else}{$link.url}{/if}

Hope this is what you are looking for...

then you see the picture of europe(is picture from affiliate program), but when you click on Link Details, then there is the correct image of the target website....i want the correct image on both places......

You need to apply changes that I described in the post above to both files:
- view-link.tpl and
- link-display.tpl

Looks like you updated only view-link.tpl file...

In the code for Alexa image find section:

<img width="111" height="87" src="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=www.esyndicat.com&amp;size=small&amp;url={$link.url}" alt="" />

and replace it with code:

<img width="111" height="87" src="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=www.esyndicat.com&amp;size=small&amp;url={if $link.display_url neq 'http://'}{$link.display_url}{else}{$link.url}{/if}" alt="" />

OK this is working fine except I like to use Alexa image an an extra link as well, could you please tell how to change this code?

1.To use Alexa image on "links" page as a link to "view details" page and display image of main site instead of affiliate site:

In links-display.tpl file find 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;url={$link.url}" alt="" /></td>

Replace it with code:

<td valign="top" style="padding-right: 10px;">{if $config.mod_rewrite}
		<a href="{$config.base}{$config.dir}{$link.path}/{convert_str string=$link.title}-l{$link.id}.html"><img width="111" height="87" src="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=www.esyndicat.com&amp;size=small&amp;url={if $link.display_url neq 'http://'}{$link.display_url}{else}{$link.url}{/if}" alt="" /></a>
	{else}
		<a href="{$config.base}{$config.dir}view-link.php?id={$link.id}"><img width="111" height="87" src="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=www.esyndicat.com&amp;size=small&amp;url={if $link.display_url neq 'http://'}{$link.display_url}{else}{$link.url}{/if}" alt="" /></a>
	{/if}</td>

2. To use Alexa image on "link details" page as a link to affiliate page or regular page if it is not an affiliate link and display image of main site instead of affiliate site:
In view-link.tpl file find code:

{if $config.alexa_thumbs}
   <img width="111" height="87" src="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=www.esyndicat.com&size=small&url={$link.url}" />
{/if}

and replace with code:

{if $config.alexa_thumbs}
	<a href="{$link.url}" class="title" id="l{$link.id}" {if $config.new_window}target="_blank"{/if} onMouseOver="window.status='{if $link.display_url neq 'http://'}{$link.display_url}{else}{$link.url}{/if}'; return true" onMouseOut="window.status=''; return true"><img width="111" height="87" border="0" src="http://pthumbnails.alexa.com/image_server.cgi?id=www.esyndicat.com&size=small&url={if $link.display_url neq 'http://'}{$link.display_url}{else}{$link.url}{/if}" title="Visit {$link.title}" /></a>
{/if}

If I missed something please let me know...

Thanks WTM but this is not what I had in mind. I only like the alexa image clickable so if you click on the alexa image it opens the link and not the link of alexa.
