how do I put links and pictures in my side boxes?

[timber]

I have recently taken up doing the website of a local mobile phone shop and actinic is a very thing to me...

how do I put links and pictures in my side boxes?
I have tried to edit my section image with the code snippet from the advanced guide and all I dget is a notice stating that my variables have changed but no visible effect..?

Anyone?

Edit Act_Primary.html and look for the small tables (the code below will add a table showing credit card images for example)

      <!-- credit card logo table start -->
      <table width="150" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr> 
          <td height="22" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALCOLOR1CSS" background="tab_pal2.gif" class="actsmallheading"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;PAYMENT METHODS </b></td>
        </tr>
        <tr align="center" valign="middle"> 
          <td class="thinred2"> 
            <table width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
              <tr align="center" valign="middle"> 
                <td><img src="visa.gif" width="34" height="22"></td>
                <td><img src="master.gif" width="34" height="22"></td>
                <td><img src="elec.gif" width="32" height="22"></td>
              </tr>
              <tr align="center" valign="middle"> 
                <td><img src="swi.gif" width="29" height="22"></td>
                <td><img src="solo.gif" width="30" height="19"></td>
                <td><img src="delta.gif" width="32" height="21"></td>
	      <tr><td colspan="3">CUSTOMVAR:RIGHTBARTEXT</TD></TR>
            </table>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <!-- credit card logo table end -->

Bill, I have deleted the rem statements from in front of this

before yet I dont see any effect on screen, that's why i put the logo's on my banner with the help of photoshop.

I'm not sure why.

These actinic NQV's have thrown me a bit and I trying to get my head around them but it feels a bit like trying to swim up a waterfall at the mo.

I see where my site is and where I want it to be. Yet not making as much headway as I or my bosses would like.

Thanks for that, though!

Malcolm - yes I just looked at your source and saw the code is there but commented out.

Which rem statements did you remove? The one before and after <table> and </table>?

Try that again and upload the website. If you see no change, use F5 (in IE) to force your browser to reload, or delete the temporary internet files, then view the page again.

Bill - I have just acquired the images for the credit cards we take and found your thread for the primary template.

You state "look for the small tables" - what exactly should I look for?

Do I need to insert this info into both the Act_Brochureprimary and the ACT_Primary to have the images appear on all pages?

One last question, in which Site directory do I need to store the images so your text can find them?

I appreaicate any help you can give.

Thanks

Ben, are you using the Smart Theme layout?

If yes, then both Act_BrochurePrimary.html and Act_primary.html in the Site1 directory should already have this code installed, but commented out like this

<!-- <table ......... </table> -->

You just need to remove the <!-- and --> The images used in the standard code should already be in the Site1 folder - if not, just save your own files there and change the image file names in the code as necessary.

Thanks bill!

Previously on this thread I said that I had un-remarked the credit card table in the primary source and not seen the effect!?

Then yesterday I cleared my cache and cookies and looked at my shop index not just my brochure index and 'hey presto!' there they were.

Not looking quite as good as the card images I had put in my banner courtesy of Photoshop I thought. But I'm sure everything will fall into place as it should...

Thanks for your patience and insight.

Another thing, did you do something similar

to get your table of jpeg's into your egyptian wonders ltd table on your index..?

[wjcampbe]

to get your table of jpeg's into your egyptian wonders ltd table on your index..?

No that is the Act_SectionLinePage1.html template amended to wrap the text below the standard image on left setup.
Those jpegs are the section links.

[Ben Colman]

Bill - not using Smart template but the Best Seller.

Can't fnd the code you give above in either template. Any thoughts?

Thanks

[wjcampbe]

Ben,

look for this code

<td valign="top" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALBGCSS"> 
                  <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="5">
                    <tr> 
                      <td>
                        <script language=Javascript1.2>
                     	document.write(YahooSections(section_tree)) 
                        </script>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                  </table></td>
              </tr>
              <tr> 
                <td><img src="main_pages.gif" width="170" height="27"></td>
              </tr>
              <tr>

and change it to

<td valign="top" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALBGCSS"> 
                  <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="5">
                    <tr> 
                      <td>
                        <script language=Javascript1.2>
                     	document.write(YahooSections(section_tree)) 
                        </script>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                  </table></td>
              </tr>
<tr><td width="170"><!-- credit card logo table start -->
      <table width="170" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr> 
          <td height="22" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALCOLOR1CSS" class="actsmallheading">
		  <b>&nbsp;&nbsp;PAYMENT METHODS </b></td>
        </tr>
        <tr align="center" valign="middle"> 
          <td> 
            <table width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
              <tr align="center" valign="middle"> 
                <td><img src="visa.gif" width="34" height="22"></td>
                <td><img src="master.gif" width="34" height="22"></td>
                <td><img src="elec.gif" width="32" height="22"></td>
              </tr>
              <tr align="center" valign="middle"> 
                <td><img src="swi.gif" width="29" height="22"></td>
                <td><img src="solo.gif" width="30" height="19"></td>
                <td><img src="delta.gif" width="32" height="21"></td></tr>
            </table>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <!-- credit card logo table end --></td></tr>
              <tr> 
                <td><img src="main_pages.gif" width="170" height="27"></td>
              </tr>
              <tr>

[Ben Colman]

Bill - I've input your new code on the Act_Primary template.

I could not find exactly the same code on the Act_Brochureprimary template but did find the following:

<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALBGCSS"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<td> <script language=Javascript1.2>
document.write(YahooSections(section_tree))
</script> </td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALCOLOR1CSS"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

The last 3 lines are different from the Act-Primary so I replaced the above code down to </table></td> </tr> <tr> and ignored the last 3 lines. Was this correct? It looks OK on the site?

MAny thaks again for your support.

Ben

[wjcampbe]

Ben - if the site is online and you can give the URL, we can check the code is OK.

If I undrstand you correctly, you only replaced

<td valign="top" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALBGCSS"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<td> <script language=Javascript1.2>
document.write(YahooSections(section_tree))
</script> </td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
<tr>

and your code now reads in part

<!-- credit card logo table end --></td></tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="main_pages.gif" width="170" height="27"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALCOLOR1CSS"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

If so, that is OK.

[Ben Colman]

Bill - seems to read as you wrote, so thanks for all your help. Site looks OK as well.

URL is www.enchanted-wood.co.uk

Regards

Ben

[Ben Colman]

Bill - you kindly helped me with locating the template and coding to successfully put the credit card images on the brochure and main pages.

I now want to add the same images across the top of the first and the second checkout pages so when customers are considering payment, they can see what we accept.

Are the templates concerned Act_Order00 (select shipping destination) and Act_Order01 (invoice details) and if so, where should I insert the code in that template?

I appreciate your help.
