image variable help

[wesleythorne]

hi, i need a little help if someone can spare the time!
I am trying to add an image to my main home page, i thought to create a new variable called 'cardslogo' which was a copy of the brochure logo, the image is selected under top level and inititial level.

In my layout page 'works best with prime' i have inserted a new variable
<actinic:variable name="Cards Logo" />

but it shows as text, ie 'cards.jpg' on the preview page
the image should be showing not the file name.

under site options/ general/brochure/ new variable showing as 'cards logo' value is set to cards.jpg
any ideas?
thanks
wesley

You need to add the rest of the html tag. So you will need, as minimum:

<img src="<actinic:variable name="Cards Logo" /> />

You can also add a Blockif around it to block the code if the content of the variable is null.

hi, i am a bit confused, where would i enter this full link?
When i created the variable i used the browse function to link to the image.

The code into the layout i have changed to

<img src="<actinic:variable name="CardsLogo" />"/>

But the cardlogo is now showing in red as an error

thanks

its easy peasy, go and have a google search.
