You can integrate Thumbshots.org into the directory. They have a free version and I've used it on a couple of my directories

One of the best parts about IndexU is that you can customize it any way you want. By having things like Thumbshots.org already integrated, it would make it harder to make changes to it.

Ok but what is the code and which file will i change to have and automatic webshot thumbnail like the script freeglobe.com

You'll get the code from Thumbshots.org

You'll place the code in the html files for your theme

Where you'll place the code is dependant upon where you want the thumbshots to show?

Maybe you'll want it to show in the links details page ( /themes/<your_theme>/link_detail.html ) - Maybe you'll want the thumbshot to show when browsing a category ( /theme/<your_theme>/rows.html ).

I cant really tell you where to place it because I dont know how and where you want them. To do this, you will need atleast a basic understand of HTML

I'd also recommend thumbshots.org.
Or you can hire someone to manually take the screenshot, but I believe it is not cost effective.

Hello,
Easy to say use Thumbshots.org. As good script directory as Indexu should have his own script for Thumbnails, controlled in admin area.

Andrew - Would you rather pay $500.00 per license for IndexU, or just the $99.00???

Thumbshots.org is easy, free, and takes all of about 10 minutes, from start to end, to implament.

As I've said before, the nice thing about IndexU is that its EXTREMELY customizable and can be used in a hundred different ways. Not just for a link directory. It gives you the ability to make what you want from it.

If you made the script too narrow, then it wouldn't appeal to the masses. Only to a select few that need exactly what it has. By making the script smaller, and easy to integrate with anything, anyone can use it for what they want. Not to mention that IndexU runs faster and cleaner than all your other scripts out there due to the fact that is not blowted with a ton of extra code that not everyone is going to use.

An html newbies question...how would I modify the lind below to include the thumbnails code for thundershots

<span><a href="<%$url%>" name="link_<%$link_id%>"><%$title%></a></span>
I want the thumbnail to allign in the midle. Thumbershots code is
<img src="http://open.thumbshots.org/image.aspx?url=[LINK]" border="1" />

[FSGDAG]

Its hard to say with only the code posted. I would need to see the entire page.

Hi, it is the sponsored_rows.html page see code below:

<%$hook_html_sponsored_rows_begin%>

<div class="sponsored_link_rows">
<div class="link_rows">
<span><a href="<%$url%>" name="link_<%$link_id%>"><%$title%></a></span>
<%$hook_html_sponsored_rows_bidding%>
<%if $enable_bidding%>
[<a href="<%$site_url%>/upgrade.php?pflag=retrieve&id=<%$link_id%>"><%t%>b id<%/t%></a> $<%$bid%>]
<%/if%>
<br />
<%$hook_html_sponsored_rows_description%>
<%$description%>
<br />
<a href="<%$url%>" name="link_<%$link_id%>"><%$url%></a>
- <a href="<%$site_url%>/<%$detail_page_url%>">Detail</a>
<br /><span class="googlepr">Google PR <img src="<%$site_url%>/googlepr.php?link_id=<%$link_id%>"></span>
</div>
</div>

<%$hook_html_sponsored_rows_end%>

[FSGDAG]

You said you want to align it in the center?? Above it??? Below it??? Usually thumbshots are to the left of the description and title.

[Andros]

To the lefr of the description and title is fine. Thanks FSGDAG!

I would probably create a table for it and do something like this:

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<img src="http://open.thumbshots.org/image.aspx?url=[LINK]" border="1" /> 
</td>
<td valign="top">
<a href="<%$url%>" name="link_<%$link_id%>"><%$title%></a><br>
<%$description%><br>
<a href="<%$url%>" name="link_<%$link_id%>"><%$url%></a> 
- <a href="<%$site_url%>/<%$detail_page_url%>">Detail</a>
<br /><span class="googlepr">Google PR <img src="<%$site_url%>/googlepr.php?link_id=<%$link_id%>"></span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

You might need to adjust this a little more depending on your theme and other issues, but this will give you a good basis to start with

Ok, yes it works but now another problem. The "sort by" when browsing a category is displayed below the prefered categories not on top of the page as it was before. Here is the code I used:

<%$hook_html_sponsored_rows_begin%>
<div class="sponsored_link_rows">
<div class="link_rows">
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<img src="http://open.thumbshots.org/image.aspx?url=<%$url%>" border="1" />
</td>
<td>
<span><a href="<%$url%>" name="link_<%$link_id%>"><%$title%></a></span>
<%$hook_html_sponsored_rows_bidding%>
<%if $enable_bidding%>
[<a href="<%$site_url%>/upgrade.php?pflag=retrieve&id=<%$link_id%>"><%t%>b id<%/t%></a> $<%$bid%>]
<%/if%>
<br />
<%$hook_html_sponsored_rows_description%>
<%$description%>
<br />
<a href="<%$url%>" name="link_<%$link_id%>"><%$url%></a>
- <a href="<%$site_url%>/<%$detail_page_url%>">Detail</a>
<br /><span class="googlepr">Google PR <img src="<%$site_url%>/googlepr.php?link_id=<%$link_id%>"></span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>

<%$hook_html_sponsored_rows_end%>

Ok I get it. Sponsored links are not supposed to be sorted Thanks for your help FSGDAG.
