Image Titles Support Thread

[gjh42]

You shouldn't need to edit tpl_categories.php to get Image Titles to work on the categories sidebox. Have you installed the mod files and created and named the image?

<table width="150px" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="leftbox" id="categories-table">

This indicates that you are using a very old version of Zen Cart (v1.2.x?), as v1.3.x doesn't use tables for most layout. It might also be a very old categories sidebox mod.
I haven't tested Image Titles on v1.2 and don't know if it will work correctly. You really should upgrade if this is the case.

Hi Glenn

Really sorry and I know I am having a major senior moment here but I just can't work out how to code this, even following the good instructions.

I am using the cherry_zen template. I am running v1.3.8a os zen-cart.

If I wish to replace the Search heading with an image, I have created an image named headbox-search.gif and I have uploaded that into the /includes/templates/cherry_zen/buttons/english directory:

Next I have looked at the page source and can see that the correct ID is 'search' - I think!!

Now I am unsure how to alter the code you have suppllied for my tpl_box_default_left.php. I have tried all sorts of combinations but nothing is showing on the site.

Can you please post what my code should look like - I know it's a lot to ask but I am stuck.

Rob

Hmmm

OK scrub the above post - I AM A MUPPET! I sorted it. Another case of making it more complicated that it is. Sorry.

One thing though. Is it possible to make the image any height? say like 150px wide x 100px deep. What is happening right now is that the images are showing but 'covering' the text below in the header box.

I have attached an example of my first attempt at a 'categories' image just for test.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks

Rob

As I expect you found, the file should be named boxhead-search.gif instead of headbox-search.gif; it does go into the /includes/templates/cherry_zen/buttons/english/ folder.

Can you give a link to your site? It may be a CSS issue, which I can best resolve by seeing it live.

Hmmm, well my typing skills leave a bit to be desired so thankfully it was only on my post that I typed the wrong name, but thanks for pointing it out. :)

Anyhoo, I have PM'd you the link details Glenn.
