How to display an image on my home page?

[Kayz]

I am running Zen Cart 1.3.8.

I would like to know how to add an image to my home page in the centre section.

When I first installed Zen Cart (before making any changes) the home page had a zen cart image in the centre section.

I removed it and now I can't remember what I did.

I want to place an image under the welcome text but above my define pages text.

Can any one tell me how I do this. I'm sure it's easy but I just can't remember.

Thank you in advance. :-)

Just add something like this code before your main text in Define Pages Editor (define_main_page.php), the image linking obviously to one you upload to your server

<div align="center"><a href="http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=16"><img src="http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/images/zc_gray/misc/big-book.png" width="605" border="0"></a></div>

If you drop that code in as a demo it should give you a good idea what you need to change

I found that I had to play around with the width size in the code a bit but now it looks really good.

I moved my site so it was viable to the public and have lost my home page image.

I've played around with the code a bit but can't work out how to get it to work again.

website: www.passionsignite.com.au
image name: grand_opening_web_poster_copy.jpg
image location on server: public_html>images>banners

What do I need to change to get this to work again?

You were using an absolute URL, so when you moved your site the actual path to the image changed. It is always recommended to use relative URLs for content in your site. Also, you apparently want just an image here, not a link, so remove the link code.

<div class="homeImage"><img src="images/banners/grand_opening_web_poster_copy.jpg" /></div>

[gjh42]

Your particular problem was actually putting the /public_html/ in the path, but relative paths are still better, as they will automatically be appended to the correct base by Zen Cart.

Thank you for the information.

It's working like a charm now.

Coding is not my best subject. lol
