Adding Images/Logos to the side menu bars

[bootz]

Hi there,
Can anyone give me some pointers on adding images to the side menu bars (under the best sellers/new products bar)?

Many thanks for any help

• Site URL?
• Custom/Standard theme?

There's some pretty nifty people 'round here but unfortunately none of those are clairvoyants

Ideally a logo that would link off to that section in the shop.... I'm not sure what that is?

Sorry, web is www.bobnbootzmodels.co.uk , no major changes, I'm learning as I go! Standard layouts I think.

Take a working snapshot before you do anything.

Switch to the design tab. Click on the background of the page and you will see the outer layout ... typically called something like Works Best With Reflective or whatever theme you have in place. You can make sue you are at the outer layout by clicking the yellow up arrow at the bottom left of the code window.

Look for a pink layout called soemthing like "best sellers list" and "new products list"

after each of those you can add your image and the link. To insert an image use:

<img src="image.jpg" alt="Image Description" />

to include a link use

<a href="http://www.site.com"><img src="image.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Description" /></a>

note the border="0" in the second to remove the blue hyperlink from around hte image

ensure image.jpg is saved in the root of the Actinic site on your computer (the same level as ActinicCatalog.mdb)

hi there,
Thats fantastic...... but not working right.. I've added the line as you wrote it and red X picture is just where its needed, added the jpg to the same folder as actinic catalog.mdb, changed the code to be :
<img src="logoneomics.jpg" alt="Neomics Logo" />
the description has changed to suit, the picture is still the red X though, have i gone wrong with the jpg location?

I lied, I must not of Applied it, my mistake..... although it does wotk on the left side bar (New Products box) but not the right hand Best Sellers box? Is there a reason for that or is it just locked out?

[jont]

You need to apply the same code to beneath the marketing list in the right hand column as well.. scroll down a little and the pink layout list (best sellers) will be there.

Graham - are you adding a link to the images inserted? Looking at your site they are crying out to be clicked.

I will be for sure, pleased with how it looks, I'm just doing it a step at a time so I don't break anything! I'll be linking them to the relevent sections hopefully. A big thank you to you giving me the dummys guide, I wouldn't be this far without it!
