open link.tpl or any other template file you would like to have thumbnails displayed in and edit them accordingly


just open your link.tpl file and place the code where ever you would like it displayed

how i've done it
find Content visible to registered users only.change to Content visible to registered users only.of course change the words to whatever code you chose to use...
or play around with your template and figure out what works best for you
the way I have it there it'll show the thumb to the left side of title and description and above the pagerank

Here is a list of free thumbnail providers from on going conversations within the supporters forum (http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19920&highlight=thumbnail) :)

My directory code for the link.tpl goes this way. Plz suggest me what to do so that my directory shows thumbnail shots.

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="links">
<tr>
<td valign="top"><a id="id_{$link.ID}" href="{$link.URL|escape|trim}" title="{$link.TITLE|escape|trim}"
{* nofollow *}
{if $link.NOFOLLOW or ($link.RECPR_VALID eq 0 and ($smarty.const.RECPR_NOFOLLOW eq 2 or ($smarty.const.RECPR_NOFOLLOW eq 1 and $link.RECPR_REQUIRED eq 1)))} rel="nofollow"{/if}
{if $smarty.const.ENABLE_BLANK} target="_blank"{/if}> {$link.TITLE|escape|trim}</a><br />
{$link.DESCRIPTION|escape|trim}<br />
<span class="url">{$link.URL|escape|trim}</span>
{* show page rank *} {if $smarty.const.SHOW_PAGERANK}{include file="pagerank.tpl" pr=$link.PAGERANK}{/if}</td>
</tr>

I have added the script as the above post suggested, but still the image does not show up. Can anyone guide me where to add the code exactly for the above link.tpl coding.

What provider are you using?

[shadav]

if you like pm me with your ftp info and the name of the current template in use as well as which thumbnail provider you wish to use and in my free time, keep in mind my free time doesn't happen often, I'll set the thumbnails up for you.

Thanks Shadav, i appreciate your kindness to help me out. I would love to learn and do it my self.

Here is the code where i modified myself. Yet the thumbail image does not show up. I am not sure whether i have added the code at the right place or not.

Url : directory9 dot info - There is a featured link added into Adult seo category.

My directory runs on the free phpld script v2.1.2

The code i modified goes like this. The text in bold is where i added the code.

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="links">
<tr>
<td valign="top"><a id="id_{$link.ID}" href="{$link.URL|escape|trim}" title="{$link.TITLE|escape|trim}"
{* nofollow *}
{if $link.NOFOLLOW or ($link.RECPR_VALID eq 0 and ($smarty.const.RECPR_NOFOLLOW eq 2 or ($smarty.const.RECPR_NOFOLLOW eq 1 and $link.RECPR_REQUIRED eq 1)))} rel="nofollow"{/if}
{if $smarty.const.ENABLE_BLANK} target="_blank"{/if}> {$link.TITLE|escape|trim}</a><br />
{$link.DESCRIPTION|escape|trim}<br />
<span class="url">CODE{$link.URL|escape|trim}</span>
{* show page rank *} {if $smarty.const.SHOW_PAGERANK}{include file="pagerank.tpl" pr=$link.PAGERANK}{/if}</td>
</tr>
