The name is correct. I even tried inserting other files from the images directory. None of them will load. No matter what the file, I get the red x.

Re: Trying to insert image into welcome txt
 

Right click on the red x and see what the url of the image is.

Also there are a few older imaging software programs that will make the ext in caps. such as file.JPG instead of file.jpg

url checks out correctly

Actually, no it doesn't...you shouldn't be seeing {$ImagesDir}, that should translate to the directory.

Re: Trying to insert image into welcome txt
 

So what do I do about this?

Re: Trying to insert image into welcome txt
 

What are you using to edit the code?

Re: Trying to insert image into welcome txt
 

I use Webmaster mode and Dreamweaver

Re: Trying to insert image into welcome txt
 

Ok, one or both of those could be screwing you up. Dreamweaver doesn't understand Smarty code, and Webmaster Mode is really meant for editing text, not adding code. Open up the language variable directly via your "Languages" area and insert the code there.

Re: Trying to insert image into welcome txt
 

I am trying to get this to work as well. Right now I have all of my "extra" images on Photobucket because I could just copy their link & it worked great. I am now trying to have everything in my directory the way it should be =). My images are in this folder: /var/www/html/skin1/images/thumbnails when I access my FTP.

I put the image I need into that folder & then typed in this code: <img alt="Available Clasps" src="{$ImagesDir}/clasptype.jpg" align="left" border="0" />

I get a box labelled "Available Clasps" with a red x. What am I doing wrong?
