Help needed with adding Images on "mainpage.php"

[lanrat]

Hi,

Can somebody please help me with the (default) path for images to be displayed on the 'mainpage'.

I have edited the file "../catalog/includes/languages/english/mainpage.php" to display images.

I have uploaded the "pic.png" into the folder ".../catalog/includes/languages/english/images"

and used the following path: <img src="./images/pic.png"> in the "mainpage.php" file - NO IMAGE DISPLAYED

using the path: <img src="images/pic.png"> - NO IMAGE DISPLAYED

Do I need to use an "absolute path"? Or is there some code that forces this page to read from another directory?

Some advice for a newbie please

Your problem is you have uploaded the image to the wrong dir.

Upload to /catalog/images

then use this relative path: images/pic.png

Thanks, Michael.

It seems that this dir "/catalog/images" is the "catch all" for all images used in the cart and not the "images" directories in each of the subs for /catalog/includes... etc such as 'boxes' as it is in osCommerce.

Can you confirm or provide a little insight into this?

Images are handled the same in osCMax as in osCommerce. All images always go in the catalog/images dir. But if you want to put them somewhere else, just make sure the path is right. Only the buttons are stored in /catalog/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/

Using your first example of uploading images to: /catalog/includes/languages/english/images/pic.png

You would then use this path in mainpage:
includes/languages/english/images/pic.png

Really straightforward, your problem was that you were uploading it to /catalog/includes/languages/english/images/pic.png

Then making the path point to
/catalog/images/pic.png
