i have 2 questions.

1) where exactly should i place the 2 codes in the link_summary.tpl???

{if $use_thumbnails eq true && $pagename eq "story" && $url_short neq "http://" && $url_short neq "://"}
<b><img src="http://images.websnapr.com/?url={$url}&size=T" style="float:right; padding-left:10px;padding-top:20px;"></b>
{/if}

{if $url_short neq "http://" && $url_short neq "://"}
<img src="http://images.websnapr.com/?url={$url}&size=T" style="float:right; padding-left:10px;padding-top:20px;">
{/if}


2) will these thumbnails be of the homepages snap shots or will they be thumbnails of the actual story URL (inner pages)

Thank you so much i appreciate the help!

From a quick glance of your code, it will float right of a story and only be the main url. not individual screen shots of the submitted url. You will have to pay a service for that.. No one will thumb individual pages on the fly like that for free.
As for where you should place it? It really depends on your template. As for the default Wistie template. I would recommend. Just after line 138 in link_summary.tpl

So what service is that? and what to pay for the individual screen shots? And is this working with rss feeds?

Ofcorse its not so hard. For all the others it is hard what program is doing that what you say it is doing that. Make tumbnail from STORY page. Not FROM HOMEPAGE.

You say in your reply there is an program that do this so what program is doing that. (or is it a maby there is an program that can do that).

Try something like

<img src="http://images.websnapr.com/?url={$url_short}"  style="float:right; padding-left:10px;padding-top:20px;">

thanks again chuck roast.. so i got it to work with shrink the web... it seems it placed the code in the wrong line...

DO you know if the certain website thumbnails can be excluded??? for example... if you tube links are prevalent in my pligg site, and i dont want so many youtube homepage thumbails, is it possible to exclude thumbnails from being generated from such sites???

will this be done in my link_summary.tpl? what kinds of codes will i need to EXCLUDE thumbnails from specific URL's???

thanks!!!
