Screenshots

Can IndexU show the member site screenshots in the random links or newest additions section of the home page or in listing description page?

It sure can with some modification to the script. You wont need to be an expert either in order to accomplish it. Infact, there are some tutorials here on the forum that will guide you through it.

If you'd like to see an example, take a look at one of my sites Web4URL - A Deep Links General Web Directory. I have a Random Site of the Day block, a block in the header of all Premium and Sponsored Listings, screen shots of sites when browsing a category, and screen shots of the site in the details page.

Thanks for the reply. It is great to know that you can add screenshots. How about adding screenshots exclusively for paid member listings and no screenshots for free members? Is that possible?

Yep... Easy enough... Its just a matter of using an IF statement

You're site looks hot. Where do the screenshots come from? are they inserted manually or work like Alexa or something? and where is the tutorial for this on the forum?

I manually insert them on Web4URL - A Deep Links General Human Edited Web Directory. I've been thinking about using Alexa, but the problem with that is it can take a long time for newer sites to get a screen shot from Alexa, so in the mean time your getting alot of "Picture Coming Soon".

But the other problem with doing it manually is that you have to keep up with it

You can find the way to do it in 5.4 here. If I remember correctly, you dont need to make any changes to go.php in Deluxe. I cant remember about link.class though.
