Another way would be to have a "tooltip" entry box per link where you could type what you liked and have that appear when you hover over a link ..

:)

Andrew .. Currently I'm using the plug-in for vBa CMPS to show my latest links ..

How would I change the plug-in to show the category the link is from?

So instead of ..

LINKNAME ¦ DATE

it would be ..

LINKNAME ¦ DATE
CATEGORY

Any ideas?

Assuming that you're using the original vba code posted by ixus, you need to do two things:
- edit the get_hotlinks_cat_date file as per the attached
- edit the links_hotlinks template to refer to $catid and/or $catname as you see fit.

Thanks for that Andrew ..

Unfortunately I'm using the attached file .. any chance you could take a look at it and add the required extra code?

I think it's a slightly updated file by the same author .. but I can't find where I got it from ..

Hi

Thanks for your time in answering pre-installation enquiries Andrew. Had my guy install it and we are very happy with it as our all our members

Here's one of the catagories we setup yesterday

I would like to have a small thumbnail image in a column there showing the picture of the map , is that possible?

Arial, that's good.

To display thumbnail images, just upload these somewhere sensible on your web site, and edit the links or categories. You can include VBulletin img BBCodes in the name and the description fields. For example, if you have a subdirectory called thumbnails immediately under your home page, and a thumbnail file called amberville.jpg, you could include a tag like this:

Hi Andrew

Thanks for that:-

What kind of code do you need to insert a <br> between communication and the image, so the image appears underneath the word communications.

Arial, one way is to enable the use of html in links displays (links admin page, there is a setting for this). Then you can simply drop a <br> tag into the relevant field during category edit.

However, a better way may be to edit the links_main template. This gets a bit technical, and I'm happy to exchange a PM or two with whoever is doing your web management.

Thanks Andrew will have a play.

Andrew, will I be able to update my version of links without losing my data? It's been a while since I've been on but I just haven't had any problems with the program. Yet I would like to use the new version without to much hassle... Just not sure what version I'm using.
