Two Questions please

[andro123]

First

I want to add logos to the home page of the site. These logos are saved in My pictures in my computer. I want to display these logos so as to show the brands we carry. How do I do this and where do I get the code to actually place these logos in the right place.

 

secondly. I changed my privacy page and renamed it as links page. this is showing correctly n the site as links but the actual address still shows as privacy.php. I tried to rename it but then got an error message. Is there another place that I need to do this?

many thanks

This is the code you need to display images an a web page the code highlighted in yellow is the path to that image you will have to change this for your images depending on where you keep them.

the place to put this code is www.yoursite.com/catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

open the index.php and add you code here.

File.

If you do it this way you can also keep your privacy page.

Is there a quick way of doing this? I know there are various contributions but Im abit afraid to mess around with codes when im unsure of what im doing

[choosealogin]

It's not so scary if you backup the files. Then if something goes wrong you can upload the old ones...easy!

 

There are instructions here on how to add a new page based on an existing page

The quick way will cause you problems later. I strongly recommend you instal Links Manager for your links. But if you would prefer to use the page as you did, you can't just copy a page and have it work like that. You have to edit the file so that it calls in the correct language file and add an entry to the filenames. But if you can make all of the changes needed for that, you can install Links Manager. Good luck either way.

You can copy and paste this code in to a text editor like notpad save the file as link.html where it says save as type change this to all files.

 

the next step is to copy this code in to notepad and save it with the file name yourshop.css save the file type as all files

 

body{

position: absolute;

top: 0px;

left: 0px;

height: 100%;

width: 759px;

background-color: #ffffff;

 

 

}

a {

color: #aad000;

background: inherit;

}

 

a:hover {

color: #00aeed;

background: inherit;

}

.header

{

position: absolute;

top: 0px;

left: 0px;

height: 100px;

width: 103%;

background-color: #ffffff;

font-size: 14px;

font-family: Georgia,Times, serif;

text-align: left;

color: #a5d8f6;

}

.header a {

color: #a5d8f6;

background: inherit;

}

 

.header a:hover {

color: #00aeed;

background: inherit;

}

.main

{

position: absolute;

top: 160px;

left: 0px;

height: 700px;

width: 590px;

background-color: #ffffff;

padding-top: 0px;

padding-right: 10px;

padding-left: 10px;

color: #ffffff;

font-family: Georgia,Times, serif;

 

}

.main2

{

position: absolute;

top: 100px;

left: 0px;

height: 700px;

width: 100%;

background-color: #ffffff;

padding-top: 0px;

padding-right: 10px;

padding-left: 10px;

color: #999999;

font-family: Georgia,Times, serif;

margin-bottom: 20px;

 

 

}

 

#footer

{

left: 0px;

height: 20px;

width: 100%;

background-color: #d5d5d5;

background-image: url();

border-top: solid 3px #fefef6;

padding: 2px;

font-size: 15px;

font-family: Georgia,Times, serif;

text-align: center;

color: #000000;

}

.title

{

color: #000000;

font-size: 15px;

}

when you have these files saved you can add your links and then upload them to your server these files must be in the same directory.

 

now you have to make a link on your shop front like this.

<a href="http://www.yourshop.co.uk/links.html">Links Page</a>

you have to copy this code in to the index.php file in catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php
