Link Directory for GARS 2.1.8m

Link Directory for GARS 2.1.8m (Demo It)

Turn a forum into a link directory, where your members can make comments about a website and enter a URL to said website, whereby if a screenshot of that website exists, it will automatically appear as a thumbnail. If no screenshot is available, a default image will appear. See this GARS add-on in action here.

For those that are upgrading to this version, please note that a new setting for the thumbnail extension has been added. Check the README file for further details. Also, please note that this add-on is not supported, but you may find answers in the previous version's release thread here.

GARS 2.1.8m and up is the required version for this add-on. PHP settings required:

• allow_url_fopen = on
• safe_mode = off

Not every host allows those PHP settings.

PS: Folks, please do not start sending PMs to me with login information unless asked to do so. This add-on is not marked as supported.
