hi, I have sucsribed my website to anothers and need to add a link back to theirs. This is what I need to add but, just dno't know where... I'd really appreciate your help.

huh, I guess that doesnt realy matter where.

Most people put it on a page they make that contains links. Prefarably called 'links'. Mostly find at the end of a navigationbar as it leads people off of your website. So it depends on how your shop is made/looks like.

From your question i understand you have no links at all on your site yet.

 

So,

is this a banner link (that you can put at the bottom of your site, as an affiliate)?

is this a link that needs to come on a page containing all links, maybe in category's or something?

is this a link you want to be viewed everywhere on your website?

 

In order for a question to be answered correctly and fast, pls formulate a good question with as much details as you can.

 

 

Kind Regards,

Tom

Right lovely thanks. My website is www.sugar-and-spice.uk.com and I have signed up with www.candywrapwarehouse.com they have asked me to put a link back to their shop for me to keep my ad on their website.

 

This is the email I got from them..

Your website will be reviewed by our team shortly. We will contact you

soon as it is validated.

Please add a link back to us on your website. The link back details can

be found at

http://www.candywrapwarehouse.com/html/fin...erid=R598388659.

 

This is what I wanted to add

 

468 X 60 Banner

 

 

 

<a href="http://www.candywrapwarehouse.com/oneadmin/linksdir/home.track.php?referid=R598388659"><img src="http://www.candywrapwarehouse.com/oneadmin/_files/linksdir/cwwnew468x60.jpg" border=0></a>

 

 

I was thinking of putting the image at the bottom of my homepage?

 

thanks very much

Hi Ronda,

 

Go to your admin, 'Tools' => Banner Manager

 

Choose a Banner Title of your own

In Banner URL: type: http://www.candywrapwarehouse.com/oneadmin...erid=R598388659

In Banner Group select the size, or make a new one

For the image, i guess its better to download it from this location: http://www.candywrapwarehouse.com/oneadmin...wwnew468x60.jpg and then upload it using the Browse button after Image.

 

I guess the other options or just options and dont need to be filled in.

 

However, i'm just guessing here, since i never used this before.

Good luck, hope this helps, if not, let us know.

 

Tom

Fabulous, that worked a treat, only thing I haven't been able to do is make is smaller. I put another size in (not sure what size to put though) 200x20 and the image didn't appear at all? 468x50 has worked but, I was thinking I might like it smaller.

I have no idea how the resise of the bannermanagement works.. most likey, and best way i guess, would be to manualy resize the image in your favorite edit program, like pain(t) or photoshop....

Resize to the wanted size and (re)upload, prob make a new group to with the given size...

 

But realy not sure here! Just guessing!

You're a star, I have put the gift.gif image in buttons and it has worked. Now which file was it that I made this image change in and I'll go check for that code ?> which needs removing. Many many thanks.

Posted

is this the code?

 

<?php

echo tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');

echo tep_draw_input_field('keywords', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH, 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . tep_image_submit('gifts.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH);

echo '</form>';

?><body link="#800000" vlink="#663300">

Posted

I removed the ?> on the last line and now I get

 

 

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /www/s/sugarand0221/htdocs/includes/boxes/header_search.php on line 5

It's totally mucked up, can you help me put it back :-(

Posted

Geez, I'm sorry... I put back what I have so now I just get the extra ?> www.sugar-and-spice.uk.com

 

So it wasn't the bit of code I thought it was. I'll wait to see if you answer before messing any more

Hi, back from lunch ;)

The page containing this code:

<?php
echo tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');
echo tep_draw_input_field('keywords', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH, 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . tep_image_submit('gifts.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH);
echo '</form>';
