I have a idea what might be going on. I think instead of having the image in a vBoption, I need to do it as a stylevar. I'll test it out later tonight, and if it works, I'll update the mod.

It might actually be better this way, then you can have different images for each style.

[ozzy47]

I'll try and get the update out today, it works pretty good as a stylevar.

v1.1.0 (September 11, 2014)
- Deleted the image setting, and made it a stylevar, so you can have different images for each style.

Before the update was added mod was displayed in thread. Now an image is blank

[ozzy47]

Did you check the stylvars and make sure the image is set, it should be url.png

[Marcin1]

It's working now! Sorry I missed that step.

[ozzy47]

TBH it should have set that on install, but for some reason sometimes the stylevars don't get set when you import the mod.

[ozzy47]

I think I found the issue with the stylevar, it's been fixed in the zip file.

[bzcomputers]

Latest version fixed my issues, custom images work fine now, thanks.

Couple of recommendations for future releases:
1) Add the padding-left/right option to the stylevar
2) Add a margin-left/right option and put it in the stylevar
3) Add the ability to use different icons based on whether the link leaves the site (changes domain) or is an internal link.

would it be possible to pull in the favicon from the url?...if not that's ok...
