Hi Clyde,
I'm obviously quite new at this & I need help getting my image & hyperlink to appear. I thought I had followed all of the directions, but when I try to insert my image or hyperlink, I get something like a "parse error on line 27 and/or 28". Any ideas how to get my image to appear? I've been looking all over and I can't find the answer...

I tried to place an image here:

You didn't define an image to use. make sure to save the image in:
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/

define('BOX_HEADING_LOGO_SIDEBOX', 'Payment Methods');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_WIDTH', '125');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_HEIGHT', '125');
define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE', 'YOUR_IMAGE_NAME.gif');

card or bank funds. No PayPal account required!');

I tried to place an image here: define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE', 'image.gif'); but nothing actually shows up in Firefox. In IE, it shows as a blank box, so I took it out for now.

Also, on this line, define('LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK', 'http://your_link.com/'); I tried to place a linked image and in IE, the text runs out of the box and into the images/wording in the center of the page.

Sorry, I accidentially cut my last post short! :-)

As I said, make sure your image is located in:

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/YOUR_IMAGE.gif

Open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox.php.

find the following lines of code and edit as necessary.

// Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link
//$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT) . '</a>';

//comment this out if you use the above link option.
$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT);

My image is added here, but no change when I uploaded. There's still no image and when viewing in IE, the text extends far beyond the box.
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/pplogo.gif

Open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_logo_sidebox.php.

find the following lines of code and edit as necessary.

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do here:

// Link Option - uncomment this if you intend to use the logo as a link
//$logoimage = '<a href="' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_LINK . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT) . '</a>';

//comment this out if you use the above link option.
$logoimage = zen_image($template->get_template_dir(LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE, LOGO_SIDEBOX_IMAGE_TEXT);
