I'd like to add a banner image to each link

[Cebby]

How can I do this? I looked at the custom fields, but nothing that showed an option for something like this.

Any ideas?

I just got the product and I'm wanting to do the same thing.

Add a new custom field for the banner, then edit your 'adv_links_showlink_custombits' template and change the code to something like this:

<tr class="$bgclass">
<td>$field[title]:</td>
<td><if condition="$thisfield == 'fieldX'"><img src="$field[value]" /><else />$field[value]</if></td>
</tr>


Be sure to change 'fieldx' marked in bold to match the fieldid for the new custom field you've added.

[Shelby]

Is it possible to display that banner on the "adv_links_linkbit"?

I've tried adding it in, however it doesn't display. See this other thread.

i would like it displayed in the browselinks.php area..... is this possible???

[Brian]

That's what's discussed in the thread Shelby linked to right above your post. ;)

That didn't work.

So I would need to replace 'fieldX' with 1 if this would be my custom field ID? All I see is the url display to the image after submitting a link but no banner in this field.

[Brian]

You would replace 'fieldX' with 'field1'.

[aacircle]

Unfortunately it's still not showing the banner. Only the image link.

I also note that the above code is wrong too. Shouldn't it have a $ sign before the f in 'fieldX'? That is, it should be '$fieldX'.

In the source code it is parsing as href= rather than img src=.

[Brian]

No, 'fieldX' is not supposed to be a variable.

In the source code it is parsing as href= rather than img src=.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by that.

[aacircle]

Apologies... it's working now. Sorry to waste your time Brian.

Ok, this image thing sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

The incorrect link is always adding [url] as a tag.

Confused.

[aacircle]

Well, I have fixed it but the only way is to manually edit the tables direct from the database to remove the [url] image tags inserted.

[Brian]

Admin CP => vBa Links Directory => Manage Categories => Custom Fields => Automatically Parse Links in Text

Sounds like you have that option enabled. Try turning it off for each category and that should take care of the problem with it adding [url] tags.

[aacircle]

Excellent. Thank you Brian. Finally it's working.

Cheers.

brian i cant figer out hwo to find fieldid

[Brian]

Admin CP => vBa Links Directory => Custom Fields

Go there, hold your mouse over the "[Edit]" link for that custom field, and in your taskbar you should see a URL that looks like this:

http://yoursite.com/admincp/vba_links_admin.php?do=editcustomfield&fieldid=X
