Where to place extra images?

Hi,
As an example: I'd like a map of our location.....text then a couple of images.
As it's not a product, ive done an ezy page...

Q: How do I enter the http address of an image thats in one of my directory folders on server?

So far ive just placed the images in an extra product category and typed in the address for that...it works but id rather not have a random folder on my site...

Thanks! :smile:

Re: Where to place extra images?

I simply create a directory in 'images' (called something like 'html_includes' or 'ez_pages') and place the images there.

Then, like you've done already, I hardcode the full link to them.

Maybe there's a better way... if so, someone let us know! :)

Good one Alex. Thanks for replying.
The part im stuck on is, what would the address link look like?
I have done it ok when the image is on my shop site, but when it's just in my server, I don't know how to write the link address...

Got a sample from yours I could look at, or an example you could write?

(mine look like this: https://203.89.178....../filemanager/getimg.php?img=%2Fhttpdocs%2Fimages%2Falpha_animals_lrg.jpg)

I'm sure it's easy, but I dont know :( Thanks again

Re: Where to place extra images?

No problem.

http://www.mywebsite.com/images/html_includes/myimage.jpg

or

http://www.mywebsite.com/zencart/images/html_includes/myimage.jpg

It really depends on how your website is setup and which folder Zen Cart has been installed in.

Do you have a link to your website?

Re: Where to place extra images?

Superb!
My error in the past was to do the code as you suggested, but placing /httpdocs/ before the /images.
Now that it works, I can go do it the right way!
Terrific!
Thanks...
