Well I think there is a solution, though this is no "real funktion" of pLog, but it works:

-Create a folder anywhere in your site structure.
-Name the folder "linklogos"
-Put the wanted logo into the folder
-Now you can insert the following code on the "edit_link"-page instead of the name of the link:

<img src="http://www.path_to_your_homepage/linklogos/the_logo.gif" border="0" />

Everything should work, but maybe you will not be able to edit this link, cause the adress of the logo will be rendered wrong on the "edit_link"-page. So, if you want to change the link, you maybe have to delete it and create a new one.

Another idea is that every link has three fields: the url of the link itself (mandatory), its name (mandatory) and an optional field with a description. You could use that third field to write there a url where the logo can be found and then change a little of template code, the part where the user links are printed out. If you are using the 'grey' template, have a look at templates/grey/footer.template.

The original code that prints a list with the links is this:

Code: Select all

  <p>
   {foreach from=$mylinks item=link}
    <a target="_blank" title="{$link->getDescription()}" href="{$link->getUrl()}">{$link->getName()}</a><br/>
   {/foreach}
  </p>


You should change it to make it look like:

Code: Select all

  <p>
   {foreach from=$mylinks item=link}
     <a target="_blank" href="{$link->getUrl()}">
       <img src="{$link->getDescription()}" border="0" alt="Logo" />
      {$link->getName()}
     </a><br/>
   {/foreach}
  </p>


As you can see, the source url of the image is specified in the description field ot the link. It should work

that is, of course, the more elegant way...
