Topic: custom thumb for trades

[bbhrucy79]

hi,

created custom thumbs for my trades.
uploaded them to server into /topthumbs directory
set permission 777
edited all trades to use custom thumbnail (entered URL for the jpegs)

Using this toplist template, but there must be something wrong because the custom thumb does not show up:

<th align="center" valign="middle" scope="col"><div align="center"><a href="tp/out.php?link=toplist&to=%%DOMAIN1%%"><img src="http://www.mysite.com/topthumbs/%%BANNER_SRC1%%" width="300" height="156" border="0" /></a></div></th>

what am I doing wrong? Thanks

if I use

<th align="center" valign="middle" scope="col"><div align="center"><a href="tp/out.php?link=toplist&to=%%DOMAIN1%%"><img src="%%BANNER_SRC1%%" width="300" height="156" border="0" /></a></div></th>

it does not work either.

ok, I have to do this because grabber does not work, so at least I create screenshots of my trades to display this instead of thumbs.

No matter where thumbs come from, you should use %%THUMB#-CROP_ID-THUMBNUM%% for inserting thumbs.

Thanks,

For future reference 4 anyone who wants to use custom thumbs, not rely on grabber:
Ok, figured that this is the code you have to use:

<th align="center" valign="middle" scope="col"><div align="center"><a href="tp/out.php?link=toplist&to=%%DOMAIN1%%"><img src="%%BANNER_SRC1%%" /></a></div></th>

In admin, edit each trade individually, and set the URL and thumb name for the thumb in the "Banner URL" box.

Thanks for this, bbhrucy79, I'll be using it once I write my own thumb grabber.
