You can create your own html for the main page in:-

ADMIN>>>TOOLS>>>DEFINE PAGES EDITOR>>>DEFINE MAIN PAGE

Re: How can I get a Look like this, pictures with links on main page

well is not working

I am using dreamweaver to do the html

This is the code it gives:

<!-- body { background-color: #000000; } -->

</style></head>

<body> <p> </p> <table width="200" border="1"> <tr> <td><p> </p> <p><img src="Chapas_Chapitas_botton_badges_Comprar.jpg" width="322" height="220" alt="Chapas_Chapitas_Botton_Badges_venta" longdesc="http://localhost/nomo/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1&zenid=467785a11b7e125cd3a90e065e0e6d03" /></p> <p><img src="Poleras_T-shirts_Comprar.jpg" width="310" height="212" alt="Poleras_T-shirts_venta" longdesc="http://localhost/nomo/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2&zenid=467785a11b7e125cd3a90e065e0e6d03" /></p> <p> </p></td> <td><img src="Poleras_T-shirts_Comprar_2.jpg" width="247" height="429" /></td> </tr> </table> <p> </p> </body> </html>

this is the design

You can just display your categories on main page. The pictures will show with links to the respective category. See my site in my sig below. Is this what you want?

Re: How can I get a Look like this, pictures with links on main page

You have to UPLOAD your desired images to your server, then in your HTML code, you have to show the PATH to the image.

Your code currently shows:-

<p><img src="Chapas_Chapitas_botton_badges_Comprar.jpg" width="322" height="220" alt="Chapas_Chapitas_Botton_Badges_venta" longdesc="http://localhost/nomo/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&p roducts_id=1&zenid=467785a11b7e125cd3a90e065e0 e6d03" /></p>

You must reference ```html
<img src="


Additionally, I would shorten the NAME of your images, keep them all lower-case, and get rid of additional code that dreamweaver inserts - such as the longdesc stuff

I am working in localhost

I have the images on a directory in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-8\www\ECommerce\zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007\includes\templates\mostlygrey\images

if I put this direction, it dosen,t work.

How I can get the right direction for the image, i am lost, because the above address is the right direction were it is stored , so i don´t get what is wrong :cry:

Re: How can I get a Look like this, pictures with links on main page

Go to Configuration>Layout Settings>Categories - Always Show on Main Page
and set to 1

then go to Configuration>Layout Settings>Main Page - Opens with Category
and set to 0

You can control how many categories to show per row by setting the following:
Configuration>Maximum Values>Categories To List Per Row

Re: How can I get a Look like this, pictures with links on main page

Thank you very much

i did It and turn out ok :D

**it is possible to add the sub categories too, because it shows only the categories?
