Clickable images to front page

[Katryn]

Hi all

 

I am new to OsCommerce and don't know ANY PHP or HTML or any of that stuff. I managed to add an image to my index page by editing catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php. I tried to use the addons and stuff, but I just don't get it.

 

I found something on another forum, and did the following:

 

('TEXT_MAIN', '<br><br><image src="images/tilda.jpg" width="600px" height="261px" border="0">')

 

I don't know if it's the right way, but it is working at this stage.

 

Ok, now my problem! How do I turn it in to a clickable link? I searched for a solution, but couldn't find anything that I understand.

 

Please help???

 

Thanks :)

That is not the correct way to show an image, you need to use the functions that osCommerce provides.

 

('TEXT_MAIN', '<br><br>' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES. 'tilda.jpg', '', 600, 261))

 

You can then make it clickable by using the tep_href_link

 

('TEXT_MAIN', '<br><br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=3') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES. 'tilda.jpg', '', 600, 261) . '</a>')

 

If you do not use the functions that osCommerce provides, then you will have problems with sessions and problems with SSL.

 

osCommerce has a steep learning curve for this sort of thing, but it is required knowledge in order to ensure that your shop runs smoothly.

I have another question!

 

I want to add another image with a link to another product underneath the first image. Can I do it?
