blank sidebox image

[nutritionmp]

sorry for having such a basic question, im sure its something im missing. But I can't get the image to show up inside the sidebox.

Heres the code. I know for sure that the location is correct, but is there something i need to add for php?

$content = '';
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';
// Replace the text and HTML tags between the apostophes on lines 19 and 20.

$content .= '<p><a href="http://www.OptimumSSL.com" title="SSL Certificate Authority" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: none;"><img src="../images/seals/optimumSSL_tl_white2.gif" alt="SSL Certificate Authority" border="0"></img> <br/>SSL Certificate Authority</a>';
$content .= '';
$content .= '</div>';
?>

When I enter http://www.OptimumSSL.com/images/sea..._tl_white2.gif into my browser I get a 404 error page but http://www.OptimumSSL.com is not a Zen Cart install....

So what is your Zen Cart store url?

no wait, i actually have to save the picture according to them, upload it and display it.

The ../images/seals/optimum is where the file is located on the server

Thats in the img src tag

Just to make sure links were cool, i even changed to this. I also changed the image name, and put in the same folder with the side box file.

$content .= '<img src="optimum.gif">';
$content .= '';

$content .= '</div>';

Get the image file and upload it to includes/templates/classic/images folder

then use this as your src:

src="../images/optimumSSL_tl_white2.gif"

And then when you get this sorted - read about "creating your own template" and do it!

Still didn't work, just always displays as a red x. I'll turn the feature off for now

Download one of the modules for this sidebox in the downlods/other section or the sidebox section like for the GoDaddy SSL or the COMODO SSL to see what you are missing

Just a thought, but is your site where the images are allowing you to have them accessed from another web site, thats what it looks like from what I have read.
My sites dont allow that (or thats what my choice of setting is) its to stop leeching of images by others using YOUR images & bandwidth to suupport their site.
This may be why you are getting the red X.

Then it might be something simple. Some servers are very picky about Upper&lower CAse filenames.

I think your option 1 may have been right. Cause the file names were perfect to the dotted I's and crossed t's. I worked it out though, now i just need to get it centered.

Try adding this to your stylesheetc.css file

#blanksideboxContent {
text-align: center;
}
