Some code help

[Guest]

Just need a little help needed.....

 

I will add a page into a new box no problem, what i want to do though is have a banner on the

homepage and possibly more pages

 

Now i can just image source the picture onto the pages, but how do i code the picture to be clickable

and the click will take it to the page i have added.

 

any help appreciated, if you know what i am talking about!

An example from the stock osC header.php

 

<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce') . '</a>'; ?>

Let's pick it apart so you can modify it to your own needs:

 

In that code:

 

FILENAME_DEFAULT is the page (on your site) to link to. That particular item is defined in your filenames.php file. To make it link to your page you can substitute something like this: 'mynewpage.php'

 

oscommerce.gif is the name of the image to be displayed. Replace that with your image name, and put your image in the images folder with all the other images on your site.

 

osCommerce is the text to be displayed on a "mouseover".

 

If you want to link to a page NOT on your site, you'll need to do it differently.

good stuff i will have a bash at that, can i determine the size of the banner or will it show relative to the size it is designed at

 

cheers

It would show the image full size.

 

To make the image any other size, change this code:

 

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce')

to:

 

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce','IMAGE_WIDTH','IMAGE_HEIGHT')

Replace the text IMAGE_WIDTH and IMAGE_HEIGHT with the image dimensions (numbers) you wish to use.

sorry one more q, to centre it do i stick a <center> somewhere

[germ]

<center>
<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce') . '</a>'; ?>
</center>

Is one way to do it.
