Can't Insert Image in Define Pages Editor

[neophyte2007]

I've been trying to insert an image into my main page using define-main-page in the Define Pages Editor. To insert an image, it prompts you for a URL as the only option. The picture I want to insert resides on my local hard drive. How can I insert a .jpg, .gif, .png or other pictures? I tried to copy and paste directly into the editor pane, and that didn't work either. Please help. Thank you.

upload this to your images folder and use your site/path to this image as the url

I've tried inserting an image in the URL text box by typing ftp://blah-blahblahyadahyadahyadah/images/etc where the file resides. It didn't work. Should it be an http file path? Please help me. Thank you.

http://your_cart_domain/includes/tem...ges/your_image

And insure that you upload the image to the same location

aurelieandrose,

When using the admin > tools > defines page editor > and selecting the html editor mode...
You can select the insert "image" icon and browse to the image on your local PC and it will upload it

This is how I did it. I uploaded the image to:
includes/languages/english/images/your_image_filename.gif

I went Tools>Define Pages Editor>define_main_page.php with Text Editor in HTMLarea mode.

Positioned cursor where I want the image. Click insert image icon.

In the URL window type in:http://www.your domain /includes/languages/english/images/your_image_filename.gif and "preview" the image.

Now you can insert the image by clicking OK. I hope it works for you. God bless.

Hi, I have followed this thread. I added the PHP code to the tpl_mainpage.php file. I opened Define pages editor. I don't see any Icon to insert an image, only save,reset & cancel. I am using Xampp locally. Zen Cart is v1.39h

I get no image on my main page, only a square box with a red x.

Am I missing something?

If you add the code to tpl_main_page.php (or define_main_page.php), you have done the "inserting", and there is no more to do in the files. Next, you need to copy the image into the folder specified in the code. Do this just as you would for any other image you wanted to move around in your computer.
