adding an image to the left column

Does anyone know how I can add an image into my left column? Not in my navigation area, just on that side.?

Add it to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php in the section <td id="navColumnOne"...> or <div id="navColumnOneWrapper" ..>

Re: adding an image to the left column

an eaiser way so you don't have to edit the template file is to add it to your stylesheet.css

find the following code:

#navColumnOneWrapper, #navColumnTwoWrapper, #mainWrapper {
	margin: auto;
	}

and add the following declaration just below it:

#navColumnOneWrapper {background: url(../images/YOUR_IMAGE.???);}

That's assuming she wants it as a background! :wink2:

Good point, but she has 2 choices to pick from.

Re: adding an image to the left column

Thanks for the replies! It is greatly appreciated! I was actually wanting to pop an image in, not as a background and it worked perfect! I was not sure what page the code was on!

Thanks again!
