Hi,

I want to use the websnapper service, but I can't find the field type option on cck. I have the link extra installed, and extras, but nothing is there. What am I doing wrong?

Regards.

The websnapr extra formats the display of a link field, it doesn't add a new field type.

If you haven't already done so add a link field to your content type, then go to 'Display fields' and select the display option for your link field to show either preview image (tiny) or preview image (small).

Cloudy's correct -- it's just a formatter. Thanks!

- I've got a CCK Link field in a content type.
- I've got the extra module enabled.
- I've got the display fields tab showing
- I go to the drop-downs and neither preview image (tiny) or preview image (small). shows up for teasers or full.

So, still no websnapr links.

I suggest, also, that the included documentation tell people where to look for the settings on each extra. I haven't found any, though main one I'm looking for is websnapr.

UPDATE: works fine on my own server. But work server, no. I wonder what we should be looking for there, as a reason that this doesn't show up?

UPDATE2: I created a NEW link field, found the preview images were there. I then deleted the newly created field. Voila! The link previews showed up for the original link field.
