How to add Paypal Seal

Hi all, im very new to website designing, and i actually had someone make my website. I am now ready to add my Paypal Seal Logo to the footer of my home page or side of my page (not sure where the best spot would be). I have the HTML code from Paypal, but i have no idea where to place it or where to start.

Could someone please give me a basic terms run down of how i can add it in?

It would be very much appreciated.

TIA.

First thing to do is to identify where you want it to appear, and to consider on what page(s) you do not want it to appear... Then from that information the applicable template file (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/) typically in the templates folder; however could also be in the common folder. Once in the "applicable" file, it can be followed through to identify if yet a different file needs to be reviewed/edited.

Once in the file, if you want to apply just html type coding, then will want to either find or create a space where html is being addressed/shown.. Between:

?>
The above question mark followed by greater than symbol indicates basically the start of html (end of PHP)
This area is HTML code area.<br />

The below is a clickable link.
<a href="//zen-cart.com/getit">Get Zen-Cart</a>
<?php

Ohh.. that is way over my head :( is there a you tube video at all on how to do any of this? I dont even know where to find the template file..

Start with where you want it... As I said, what page(s)... Do you want it to show on the shopping cart page? Do you want it to show on the contact us page? Every page???

If not me, others will help you along the way...
Sip from the fountain, don't try to drink it all.

Thank you :) Yes i will take my time baby steps! I think i only really need it on the home page.

Sounds good... So then where on the home page?

There's typically left side, right side, middle area, bottom/footer, and basically header. :)

Bottom Right hand side in the footer i think is where i would like to see it.

The file most likely to be modified would be found in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php.

Where YOUR_TEMPLATE is the directory name for the template to be modified. This assumes that the template uses the footer file that is identified above. If that file does not exist in that path, then copy the file tpl_footer.php from includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_footer.php to that location before editing.

Then you will want to find in that file where to place your code after so that it can be displayed and possibly include some CSS related information to help with positioning. If needed, feel free to provide the code of the file enclosed by [CODE] tags generated by selecting the # symbol in the toolbar of the reply message box.
