Followed tutorial, image still won't display

OK I followed this tutorial to the letter:

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=257

And my image still is not showing up in my left column (it's a small SSL cert graphic).

Any idea what I could have done wrong?

Using ZC 1.3.8a

Re: Followed tutorial, image still won't display

With SSL certs, many provide a link code which you insert - not the graphic. This is to allow the user to click the resultant graphic which then takes them off-site to verify the cert.

What cert are you using? They may provide such a link.

I have a site with a godaddy cert (it embarrasses me to admit to using godaddy, but there you are :blush:). The graphic displays as a result of a bit of js code you strip in.

Take a look at it **here**.

Some people have configured special sideboxes to cope with SSL certs. I created a separate sidebox for the godaddy cert in the above site.

Re: Followed tutorial, image still won't display

Yes thanks I'm aware of that, I just have the graphic not the link code.

The type of graphic is irrelevant though, I'm just trying to insert graphics in the right column, I have others to insert as well I should have just said image.

I just can't get image to show up when I insert it into the .rightBoxContainer block in mystylesheet.css as in above tutorial.

Anyone have a suggestion or idea as to what I did wrong?

Re: Followed tutorial, image still won't display

Here is the code used as per the tutorial:

.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {
        margin: 0em;
        border: 0px solid #444444;
        border-bottom: 0px solid #444444;
        margin-top: 1.5em;
        padding-bottom: 50px;
        background-image: url(../images/rapidssl_ssl_certificate.gif);
        background-position: bottom center;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
         }

Here's your problem...

The image must be uploaded to the images folder in your template folder - the same directory level as the CSS folder.

Re: Followed tutorial, image still won't display

But how do you change the image directory?

I am pretty new to this.
