** Requires php5 - php4 will not work

Plugin to use Joshua Eichorn's web thumbnail service to autocreate thumb images for entries in LDM.

1) You need an account, which is free for less than 250 webthumbs a month, and very cheap for more than that. 
   See http://bluga.net/webthumb/.

2) Copy WebThumb.class.php into your forums directory.

3) Use the vb admincp to install webthumbs-plugin.xml in the usual way.

4) If necessary, create a writeable (unix mode 777) directory and set (LDM admin/settings) *upload_dir* 

5) Visit LDM admin/settings page.  You will find a new section of settings for webthumbs.

- Update webthumb_key to the (long) hex character sequence for your account.

- Check/modify the webthumb_dir setting 
** NB - this is a subdirectory of your LDM uploads directory. By default, images are 
saved in the /webthumbs subdirectory of the uploads directory  

The plugin will use the web thumbnail service and attempt to generate an image of a site   
when you add/edit an entry in LDM, and: 
a) the image field on the add/edit entry form is left blank;
b) the url points to a fully-qualified web address which does not have a recognised mimetype;
c) the web address validates correctly;
d) LDM admin setting *link_imagesize* is set to a value greater than non-zero

This can take between a few seconds and a minute to complete.
