Hi
Is it posible to alter the code so that the thumbshot is replaced with an image from my image folder?
Also is it posible to change the size of the thumbshot, either as the original "Thumbshot" image or the image from my image folders?

Kind Regards and thanks in advance

The free thumbanil service from Thumsbhots.org is limited to 120 x 90 pixel images.

You can certainly change the code to use yoru own images..

The file you would need to edit is /include/functions.php (make a back up first, it is a rather large file)

The draw_sites function, responsible to displaying the entries starts around line # 1175
The code that creates the IMG SRC tag is around line # 1235 and looks like this ...

Code:

if ($thumbshot == "1"){$htmlsrc .="height=\"90\"> <td valign=\"top\" width=\"120\" class=\"" . $cell_color . "\" background=./images/na.gif> <a target=\"blank\" href=./out.php?ID=" . $sites_array[site_id] . ">"; $htmlsrc .="<img border=\"0\" align=\"top\" src=http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=". urlencode($sites_array["site_url"]) ."></a></td><td valign=\"top\" class=\"" . $cell_color . "\">";

So you could create an image for each entry, name the file for the Site ID of the entry, like entry #5 gets 5.gif or 5.jpg You could put them in a directory, like "sitepics".. Then, replace this code

Code:

$htmlsrc .="<img border=\"0\" align=\"top\" src=http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=". urlencode($sites_array["site_url"]) ."></a>

With something like

Code:

$htmlsrc .="<img border=\"0\" align=\"top\" src=\"/sitepics/".$sites_array["site_id"] .".jpg\"></a>

Worked like a dream
I am having trouble finding the (_blank) that is making the links open in a new window when i want them to open in the same window (_top) ....a pointer ? I have tried....honestly

IceMan

I made a booboo .. You are right it should be _blank to cause a link to open a new window, but apparently just "blank" works as well

Above and below the area you just edited you'll find where the target=blank is added to the href, probably the easiest way to change that behavior is to locate "blank" and replace it with "_self" to cause the link to load in the same window..


For the site image

Code:

if ($thumbshot == "1"){$htmlsrc .="height=\"90\"> <td valign=\"top\" width=\"120\" class=\"" . $cell_color . "\" background=./images/na.gif> <a target=\"blank\" href=./out.php?ID=" . $sites_array[site_id] . ">"; $htmlsrc .="<img border=\"0\" align=\"top\" src=http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=". urlencode($sites_array["site_url"]) ."></a></td><td valign=\"top\" class=\"" . $cell_color . "\">";

For the site name . . . .

Code:

$htmlsrc .= "ID=" . $sites_array[site_id] . "\" target=\"_"; if($user_outer_frame == "Y"){$htmlsrc .= "top";}else{$htmlsrc .= "blank";} $htmlsrc .= "\">" . stripslashes($sites_array["site_name"]) . "</a>";

And here was me thinking you were infalible
That worked for the image link but not the text link
I have quiet a few things im trying to change as i am using the script for a whole new concept. I have used it in a few other sites and realised just how Multifunctional it can be.
Sorry to be a pain....once im sorted a suitable donation will be sent as i appreciate your help.

The code that creates the text link should be just below where the image tag is created, but if you have the "use outter frame" option enabled in the admin config page, you may be bypassing your edits.

The original code

Code:

$htmlsrc .= "<a class=\"siteName\" href=\"" . "out"; if($user_outer_frame == "Y"){$htmlsrc .= "_frame";} $htmlsrc .= ".php?"; if ($usesession =="yes"){$htmlsrc .= "". session_name()."=".session_id() ."&amp;";} $htmlsrc .= "ID=" . $sites_array[site_id] . "\" target=\"_"; if($user_outer_frame == "Y"){$htmlsrc .= "top";}else{$htmlsrc .= "blank";} $htmlsrc .= "\">" . stripslashes($sites_array["site_name"]) . "</a>";

Keep in mind the links point to either out.php or out_frame.php which then redirects the the actual site in order to tally outbound clicks. So the following should give you what you want.

Code:

$htmlsrc .= "ID=" . $sites_array[site_id] . "\" target=\"_"; if($user_outer_frame == "Y"){$htmlsrc .= "top";}else{$htmlsrc .= "self";}
