Adding extra images to my zen cart

Please have a look at http://mowerpartsupply.com/ and then http://mowerpartsupply.com/catalog/ Notice that in my first non-zen version I have those nice little logos stretching across the bottom. I'd like to add those to my zen cart but I'm not sure how. I haven't decided at this point if they should show up on every page or just the first. What do you think and how would you do it? If you have a technical reply please be very specific because I'm as green behind the ears as they come.

You can add those along with your other information presented there in your define_main_page.php file that you can edit from the
admin > tools > defines page editor > main_page.php

Kobra's suggestion is the easiest, and it will enable you to display the images only on the first page - which is what you have indicated you may want to do.

If you want them to appear on all pages, then one way is to hard-code the image url's into the tpl_footer.php code.

Sounds great, but how in the world would I do that?

Do you have some knowledge of HTML?

You will need some knowledge of HTML in order to edit in the hard coding.

Basically, you need to find the file "tpl_footer.php"

The core file lives in:

includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_footer.php

You should FTP a copy of this file to your local computer then open it for editing using a good PLAIN TEXT editor, such as CRIMSON EDITOR or NOTEPAD++ - both are available as free downloads off the web. I use Crimson Editor.

When you have the file open in Crimson Editor, find the part (near the bottom of the file) that says:

<!--bof- site copyright display -->
<div id="siteinfoLegal" class="legalCopyright"><?php echo FOOTER_TEXT_BODY; ?></div>
<!--eof- site copyright display -->

Then, you need to hard-code the URL's to your images. I can see when I do a View Page Source in your main site, these images live in the images folder and the HTML that calls them is:-

<p align="center"><img src="images/exmark-logo.gif" alt="exmark-logo" width="63" height="24" /><img src="images/stihl-logo.gif" alt="stihl logo" width="70" height="24" /><img src="images/kohler-logo.jpg" alt="kohler logo" width="70" height="24" /><img src="images/kawasaki-logo.gif" alt="kawasaki logo" width="70" height="24" /><img src="images/briggs-logo.gif" alt=" briggs and stratton" width="70" height="24" /><img src="images/echo-logo.gif" alt="echo logo" width="70" height="24" /><img src="images/toro-logo.gif" alt="toro logo" width="55" height="24" /><img src="images/honda-logo.gif" alt="honda logo" width="70" height="24" /></p>

(You should first copy these images over to the images folder in your catalog site. when you have copied them, edit tpl_footer.php as follows...)

<!--bof- site copyright display -->
<div id="siteinfoLegal" class="legalCopyright"><?php echo FOOTER_TEXT_BODY; ?></div>
<p align="center"><img src="images/exmark-logo.gif" alt="exmark-logo" width="63" height="24" /><img src="images/stihl-logo.gif" alt="stihl logo" width="70" height="24" /><img src="images/kohler-logo.jpg" alt="kohler logo" width="70" height="24" /><img src="images/kawasaki-logo.gif" alt="kawasaki logo" width="70" height="24" /><img src="images/briggs-logo.gif" alt=" briggs and stratton" width="70" height="24" /><img src="images/echo-logo.gif" alt="echo logo" width="70" height="24" /><img src="images/toro-logo.gif" alt="toro logo" width="55" height="24" /><img src="images/honda-logo.gif" alt="honda logo" width="70" height="24" /></p>
<!--eof- site copyright display -->

SAVE the file on your hard drive.

Now, you must FTP the edited file to your template, which is:

includes/templates/mower/common/

(if common folder does not exist at this level, create it first)

So your edited file will now be in:

includes/templates/mower/common/tpl_footer.php

View your site...

If you get image place holders instead of the actual images, come back to this post and let me know... we may have to insert a slash in front of the word images in the URL's

Ok, it worked. Great. I did indeed have to correct the extension with an extra slash. However, I would much rather display those logos above the ez pages footer links. So, what is it that tells it to go above or below the links?
