Re: English image icon not showing on my site - how do I fix?

There is a little red X where a graphic is supposed to be on several pages.
The picture for that graphic spot is not showing up.

The little red X has the word "English" next to it.

It's suppose to tell what language the site is being displayed in.

Just want to figure out how to fix it. It's not a big problem, it just needs to be right to make the page look complete and right.

Thanks,

MrRogue

Re: English image icon not showing on my site - how do I fix?

Your OP has .../includes/languages/english/images/english before the "English" text.
The code is looking for that and since it is not a valid filepath, it can't display the image and shows the alt text:

<img src="includes/languages/english/images/english" alt="English"

It should be looking for includes/languages/english/images/icon.gif, or maybe it has been reworked to look for english.gif.

You probably need to ask your template maker why the code is wrong, as this is a highly customized template and nobody here knows how they altered the code.

Re: English image icon not showing on my site - how do I fix?

Ah ok,

Where do I find the code to edit it?

I'm trying to learn/use Dreamweaver :( I'm not understanding it as fast as I'd like to.
Sense 2000 I've used MS FrontPage but that I guess is a thing of the past now.

I have SO much to understand and SO little time. I need this site functional before summer gets here and I'm not able to make good progress.

Re: English image icon not showing on my site - how do I fix?

Your /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_header.php should have a section near the top that looks like this (with some other code mixed in between these lines):```
<div class="nav_1">

                <a href="http://www.roguejets.net/index.php?main_page=index&language=en&ze..."><img src="includes/languages/english/images/english" alt="English" title=" English "  style="vertical-align:middle;" /></a>                     
                    
            </div>
            <div class="nav_2">

Post that section of the file here, between
[php] and [/php]

Re: English image icon not showing on my site - how do I fix?

I found the problem...

In the ADMIN/Languages/

Edit, the image box contained the word "english"

It needed to be "English.jpg" or " English.bmp)

Got it fixed.

Now on to the hard stuff..... :shocking:

Re: English image icon not showing on my site - how do I fix?

And I have yet a different version of this problem. My website displays a little Union Jack flag beneath Languages, which I'd like to replace with a US flag. When I right-click the Union Jack and view the image it shows the location as /includes/languages/english/images/icon.gif which, when I go to this location, it contains a solid red image instead of the Union Jack. Anyone understand what's going on here?
