OK, think I solved the PHP Dummie question:
Used the_title_attribute instead, and explicitly set “echo” to 0 in the args.
<?php
$url = the_title_attribute('before=http://&echo=0');
$width = 300;
echo bm_mshot ($url, $width); ?>
That way I only have to put the domain name into the post title, e.g. “youtube.com”
I second that! Any pointers as to where this could be tweaked in the TDO miniforms code?
I think they did. However, I noticed your response to another question here “Clean install?!?!” which encouraged me to just start over fresh. I had upgraded from 2.9 to 3.0.
Now that I did everything from scratch everything’s dandy!!
Thanks though for your support!
