Hi,

New member today and unsure as to which thread this should be in but I saw John Cokos's name in this area, so "help" please... :D

My Hyperseek dsX will not show the image / icon associated with the description normally drawn by using the <<DESC_ICON>> tag in the internal templates, my HTML code seems fine at CamHoo.com where I have deleted that image call for the moment as it fails in all listings, members / paid / XML etc and shows just the < > brackets in the generated results.

Anyone got any idea why this would be behaving in such manner?

Dave.

We ran into this same problem. I think the manual is actually wrong.

Instead of using <<DESC_ICON>>, you need to use <<SITE_ICON>>

As soon as we switched to this, the image worked. Be sure you are using the correct input under languages: Languages > Table/Form Prompts > hyperseek_temp_addurl > Site Icon

Unfortunatly, we haven't been able to figure out a way to size the image. Any idea's on that?

Thanks,

The SITE_ICON pulls nothing but at least doesn't error, however DESC_IMAGE will pull from a type two XML backfill, even Jennifer at JJS is puzzled by this one... as per your problem though the image is as served by the provider so is never the right size.

I've asked JJS if the next release could have a fix and some image size constraints so the width and height tags can be called, at the moment you'd need to decode the search.php script with IONCUBE and hard code these tags into the call, else some app like IMAGEMAJIK would need to be on your server and beleive me that's a hassle for ds/X users as there would be so many on different server configs.

We really could all do with a central Hyperseek ds/X forum as like you say the manual and KB are not great, support is now very limited.
