CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello, I'm the current version of cmsms with linkmgr installed.

I can't figure out how to get the images to show up. I've uploaded link images to the linkmgr uploads folder - when adding links I'm able to select the uploaded files...

yet when I display the page I just get the links as bulleted items with no image.

Any ideas?

scroll to the bottom section where links appear under "In The Blogosphere" section.

Is there another module that would do this better?

Try {get_template_vars} and for any array you retrieve you can use {$arrayname|print_r}. Put it after the module call.
That way you get all the available variables and their values.

<img src="{$item.link_img}" title="{$item.link_name}" alt="{$item.link_name}" />

Hello thanks for responses.

Is this module meant to include a photo automatically? I'm not too great with code but with a little more info I might can follow you guys. So far no luck.


Jos: I put in the vars code so that displays now. I tried to follow what you said but got a smarty error which is displaying now:

Roff: I tried putting the code you mentioned

<img src="{$item.link_img}" title="{$item.link_name}" alt="{$item.link_name}" />

into the template but didn't know where it belonged. I was able to displace one photo which showed up at the bottom of the list but not one thumbnail for each story.

I was hoping for just a thumbnail instead of the bullet for each of these. Maybe that's not what linkmgr is supposed to do.

Short example

Note: images must be uploaded to the /uploads/images/linkmgr directory.

Thanks so much for your help. That worked but the photo just rests above the post - which may just be how it is supposed to be. I was hopping for a thumbnail before the post like you see on blog rolls on blogs. Perhaps I'm not using the right tool for the job.

Again, much thanks!

You can resize the image with CGSmartImage or SuperSizer and even edit the template and stylesheet in a way that a user can click on the thumbnail to view it in an overlay like "Lightbox"
