Am I suppose to add anything to this: my pic isn't showing up

$title = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES, HEADER_ALT_TEXT);

the pic name is cart.jpg and is located in my admin/images directory.
Thanks Bob

Because that heading is also a link, it will still have the [more] after/below the image. You can redefine the text to blank, but then all other sidebox headings that have the [more] will lose it too.

Instead of manually editing PHP files for each sidebox, the easiest way is to install the Image Titles mod from Free Addons (link in my sig), and upload the image to /includes/templates/your_template/buttons/english/ with the filename boxhead-shoppingcart.gif.

Note: this is an old mod which I have not yet brought up to my current standards of flexibility. If you want to use jpegs instead of gifs, you will need to edit a file.
In /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_box_default_left.php, find

//image titles - box header image if file exists  2007-10-04
$title = (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $box_id . '.gif') ? zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $box_id . '.gif') : $title);
if ($title_link) {
  if (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $box_id . '.gif')) {
    $title = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($title_link) . '">' . $title . '</a>';
  } else {
    $title = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($title_link) . '">' . $title . BOX_HEADING_LINKS . '</a>';
  }
}
// 

and change all '.gif' to '.jpg' . Do the same with tpl_box_default_right.php.

the pic name is cart.jpg and is located in my admin/images directory.

Files in /admin/images/ will not be found by the storefront output code. If you are going to do the manual edit method, you need to put the file in the base /images/ folder, not
/admin/images/.
