    Show Page Thumbnails on main page

    This one should be fairly simple for those who know what they are doing (i.e. not me :P)

    How can I adjust the home page to show thumbnails? At the moment they only display on the story page and I think the main page looks really dull and text-heavy.

    And although it may be off-topic slightly, the same thumbnail seems to be used for all stories from the same site. i.e. If I have a 2 different stories on different pages of the bbc site, the same thumbnail is used for both, why is this?

    Many thanks to the wonderful pliggers

    Try something like this.

    Open your link_summary.tpl and find line that looks something like this.
    Code:
    {if $use_thumbnails eq true && $pagename eq "story" && $url_short neq "http://" && $url_short neq "://"}
    And take out && $pagename "story". That part limit's the thumbnail to be shown only on the story page.
    Don't know answer to your second question but maybe Websnapr offers only one thumbnail or then it has something to do with the {$url_short} part on the image's url.

    Works great (and so freaking obvious lol!!!)

    Has caused some nasty formatting problems for me but still did what I wanted

    Cheers!
