I thought I read something about where you added the option to make the links_linkbit page act as a link to a more in depth file description and download page. I might have just been interpretating something wrong though.
(i'm using the latest beta).

if it can't do that yet, I think it'd be nice to add that option to the administer settings page where you can choose the category selection and linkbit templates. if that option is already in there, I probably just haven't figured out how to use it yet as I haven't really gone through the readme yet.. so disregard if that's the case :p

Thanks - no the option isn't there yet - I half wrote the code on a plane to Berlin then decided to try a different approach - bear with me a while longer as I thinnk it's a good idea.

I'm at a bit of a loss - can you give me more information on how you are identifying the images - url, etc?. Attached is a screenshot showing a jpg and two gifs - the first gif is coming from my local machine and the second is coming from a remote web site.

how do you add images like that to tracks ??? looks cool andrew

admin page -> set link_imagesize =100 or so, then add link form gains a new field for the url of an image that will be resized to 100 pixels on largest dimension. Only works if your server has the gd2 lib installed.

Another way is simply to put [img] bbcodes into the link desciption

Hello Andrew,

I tried both, URL and direct path. In both cases the Thumbnail is not displayed/resized if GIF format. Stranghe is, JPG and PNG is working fine (they are located in the same directory).

No clue why this happens...

Maybe you can email me one of your gifs. Then I can see if the problem is your end or mine. - ad_rodin at noos.fr

I'm not sure that I really like the look yet, but perhaps you can try this variant on the link_listbit template and let me know if that's what you are wanting to achieve. Bear in mind that with the links collapsed by default, you are relying on your users enabling javascript.

Since your physical location isn't displayed, this is only speculation here ... although, it occurs to me the GIF patent hasn't yet expired in all countries. If you (or your server or host) is in a country where this is still the case, the box might not be setup to allow GD-manipulated GIFs. I recall awhile back when the whole GIF patent expiry was taking place, this was an issue of concern with the open source photo galleries.

Just a thought.

Hmmm... My location is Switzerland. But can it be that within VB (as Thumbs if attched to a post) it's working but not in DLM?

I assume, VB is also using GD2 to create the Thumbnail. And the GIF is realy a normal GIF.
