How do I add/change links[+ apply them to an image]?

[Guest]

..and by 'don't know much' I mean: don't know anything....

 

 

Can someone please explain how I go about adding a link to an image in PHP? (I've added an image to my store index page that I want to link to one of my categories.)

 

Thanks.

 

I.L.L.

An example from the stock osC header.php file:

 

<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'store_logo.png', STORE_NAME) . '</a>'; ?>

In that code:

 

FILENAME_DEFAULT is the page to link to (that item is defined in your filenames.php file)

 

store_logo.png is the image name.

 

STORE_NAME is what get's displayed on a "mouseover". You could use something like 'Click here to see my category' in it's place.

 

If you wanted to link to a particular category

 

This code:

 

tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT)

 

Would need alterd to something like:

 

tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=21')

 

Using the correct value for cPath to fit the category you want to link to.

Thanks, I'll try that out later tonight.

I tried adding that line of code..but..it didnt work. I tried to just add the link part of the code to my existing code, so I'm assuming it doesnt mix with what is already there.

 

Here is my code[minus some stuff that I don't think has anything to do with the image/link]:

 

<?php


define('TEXT_MAIN', '<br><font color="#ff0000"><b>Just click the Category Icon below to browse our products.</b></font> <br><br><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="25" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="middle">'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT,'cPath=21') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/Shirts.jpg') . '</a>'</td>');

?>

 

 

Can someone please tell me what I need to do to make the link work?

 

Thanks.
