link to a product section

[thatscrafty]

I would like to put 3 images on the Act_BrocurePrimary template so that when people click on the image it takes them to a particular product section. I have tried putting in a table with 3 columns and an image in each column but:

1. the image does not show unless I put a copy in the site1 directory. This means that I will have to have a copy of each image I would like to use as the "special offer" in both the site1 directory as well as the special offers folder. At the moment I am creating a separate folder for each product section in the site1 directory to try to manage my images.

2. I cant figure out how to make the link work so that it links to a product section as opposed to an individual product.

I hope this makes sense,

Can someone please point me in the right direction,

Graham

1. Alas there is no real option but to either put a copy of the file in the site1 folder root or in the previewhtml folder to get the preview to work.

2. to link to the section the URL is the name of the section page - so if your product section page is called widgets.html and the image is called pic1.jpg the HTML for the link would be

<a href="http://www.site.com/acatalog/widgets.html"><img src="pic1.jpg" width="100" height="50"></a>

setting the width and height to the size of the image accordingly

link still not working

jont,

Thanks for the reply but my link still does not work:

This is the code for one of my links, from the reply you posted, but when I click on it it goes to "page not found".

<a href="http://www.thatscraftyonline.com/acatalog/Weekly_Supersaver.html"><img src="GlueDotsMicroDotsRemoveSmall.jpg" width="78" height="81"></a>


Is this because the site is on the Actinic trial server and not on a live server and will it work on a live server?

Thanks for the help,

Graham

Hi Graham,

the link is trying to find the Weekly_Supersaver page on the Crafty Website - which will not be there if you are still just trialling on just the Actinic server at the moment - once you upload to the Crafty site it will work - assuming you have the page called Weekly_Supersaver.

Try changing the url to say www.microsoft.com to check it is working - the syntax you have put looks fine though

thanks jont

jont,

just tried what you suggested and it worked so I am confident my other links will work when we go live.

Cheers for the help - it is much appreciated,

Graham
