Adding picture on main page along with text

trophy · May 16, 2008

I would like to add in a picture on my main page nestled amongst the text.

I have tried many way's but keep getting errors and no shows.

After having given it a good shot I am forced to ask for help.

Edit the includes/languages/english/index.php file and include something like this in the TEXT_MAIN definition:

<img src="some image.jpg" title="some text" alt="some text" width="50" height="50" hspace="5" vspace="5">

Thanks jack for the quick reply.

I have tried your suggestion but are still getting errors is there a particular place this code should be placed?

Have included my index.php.

I assume I upload a pic to my image file?

Yes, you have to upload the image to the images directory. Then try changing this

define('TEXT_MAIN','<br> <strong>HOBBIES PLUS</strong> Welcome\'s you to New Zealand\'s first and only website dedicated to the sale of slot cars and accessories.<P>

Only products that we sell are listed. <P>

We are slowly getting our products listed with about another 2/3rds to go. <br>
<br> Thanks for your patience.<br><b>Gill Andrews.<b><br>

<br><b>HOBBIES PLUS.<b><br>

<b> NEW ZEALAND.<b>');

to this

define('TEXT_MAIN','<br> <strong>HOBBIES PLUS</strong> Welcome\'s you to New Zealand\'s first and only website dedicated to the sale of slot cars and accessories.<P>
<img src="some image.jpg" title="some text" alt="some text" width="50" height="50" hspace="5" vspace="5">

<br> Thanks for your patience.<br><b>Gill Andrews.<b><br>

You will still need to format the code so it places as you want.

Jack, thank you, I now see where I was putting it was incorrect.

Now I can not get the jpg to show. Have uploaded to image & imagecache, nothing shows.

http://www.hobbiesplus.co.nz

Any ideas to why.

trophy · May 17, 2008

Alll sorted with the pic getting to appear.

Now I need to find out what to use for pic positioning on the page.

I have tried to get this CSS coding to work but was unsuccessful.

I was trying to insert the image too but there is a error.

I changed it accordingly, but still it is not working. in the main page there is a cross and the image is not coming.

Thanks

♥14steve14 · September 22, 2009

Try changing

<img src="credit_card_paypal_logos_2.jpg" title="some text" alt="some text" width="50" height="50" hspace="5" vspace="5">

to

<img src="[b]images[/b]/credit_card_paypal_logos_2.jpg" title="some text" alt="some text" width="50" height="50" hspace="5" vspace="5">

All we have done is to tell oscommerce that your image is in the images folder.

iflyamphib · September 23, 2009

I too tried many of the suggestions here this evening without any luck. However I think I know why the image is not showing up - but I don't know how to correct this too see if this is the answer:

Looking in my images directory at item images, the image TYPE is listed as image/x-generic. The image I uploaded to show on the index.php shows as text/x-generic.

It does not appear this can be changed from the image menu. Both images have the same permissions, and both were uploaded using cpanel.

iflyamphib · September 23, 2009

Ok I finally got this to work, but not really sure as to why. Here's what I did:

I created an image using Corel. When I saved the image, I used the generic 'save as' function. I went back and tried again using the Export feature and saving as a jpg. I then replaced the image uploaded earlier and the image TYPE changed to the correct type: image/x-generic

Then in my image path, I had to add /image, in my case for instance: /image/SeareySplash.jpg

All is well now! Jim

Vasi,

I googled last night 'changing text/x-generic to image/x-gerneric and came up with a bunch of info. Here's a thread that may assist:

I was just wondering, is it possible/how would I go about including php rather than html to include an image? I have a few extra images dotted here and there in my product descriptions - because it's only a few, I don't really need a contribution.

A while back, I decided to change my /images/ folder to something less generic, and I had quite a few broken images because of this. And so, I got to thinking, if it was php that pulled the /image/ folder instead of html, it would work better. I presume it would then take care of any SSL issues? So, instead of:

<img src=/images/myimage.jpg" alt="my description" width="150">

Could I have

<?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'myimage.jpg', 'my description', '150'); ?>

Would there be any issues with this?

trophy · May 28, 2010

OK I have been off this task for a while but I had some success.

This coding works now since I modified it, gives you complete control over width, height etc of the picture.

This code will install the pic as it is, the "size" will increase or decrease the pic to a size that is suitable for your application.

only problem is the text part does not work in either, I am lost there.

I have been playing with it in "product description"

Have a look here http://www.hobbiesplus.co.nz/large-weegies-p-1215.html

hope this helps.

This will also add a pic but it is not visable when in preview.

Edit the includes/languages/english/index.php file and include something like this in the TEXT_MAIN definition:
<img src="some image.jpg" title="some text" alt="some text" width="50" height="50" hspace="5" vspace="5">
Jack

When editing the TEXT_MAIN definition for the front page, is there a way to include tep_href links somehow? I want to include some links to elsewhere on my page but need to figure out how to maintain sessions here. Or for this should I just be editing root/index.php, not root/includes/languages/english/index.php?

Thanks

TEXT_MAIN example with two links, 1st uses an image, 2nd is text link

define('TEXT_MAIN', '
<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce') . '</a><br>
<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">Back to homepage</a>

Thanks Germ. Great info. Five months after installing information pages unlimited I realized that I had an issue with sessions, and so I just uninstalled it and am rebuilding index.php the old-fashioned way. Could you tell me how to add a class to either of these two links? I'm really just trying to put a border around an image link on my front page that'll have a different color when a user hovers over it. I have the relevant lines in my stylesheet already, but can't figure out how to get the border to show up.
