I would like to place the XOOPS link code into my Links page. I've completed the Title and URL and wanted to place the code from this site (found under "All about XOOPS --> Link to us") into the description field with the image.

i.e.
<a href='https://xoops.org' target='_blank'><img src='https://xoops.org/modules/wfchannel/images/linkimages/poweredby.gif' alt='Official XOOPS Website'>a>


But it comes out just like that? code!! What I want is:

Official XOOPS Website

I tried wrapping it in code /code but it didn't work.

Any ideas. Thanks

Did you try using [ url] and [ img] tags?

Thanks. Yes I had tried both without any luck.

I did finally get it to work but.... I had to take a copy of the image to my server. Placed the image in the mylinks/images directory.Then had to use this code to make it work.

In the code below replace the () with [].

Quote:

(url=www.xoops.org)Official XOOPS Site(/url)
(img)images/poweredby.gif(/img)

It appears that using the img tag in the description field makes it look got images locally in the mylinks directory!
Kind of strange, but if that's the way it is then so be it.
Also this means the images is not clickable. It's just an image. Oh well, better than nothing.

It would be nice if it would look for a url so that I didn't have to manage the updating of all these linked images.

Can we get a change made in core? Does it make sense?
Cheers
