Image url for home page welcome text
 

Hello,
I have been able to edit the welcome text on the home page using the wysiwyg editor and want to add an image in the same area. I have uploaded an image to the images file but I am unsure what the url should be so all attempts so far just leave a blank rectangle. I'm pretty sure it's about the path as I have used the image ok on another site previously.
Could anyone help with this one please?
Thank you
D.

What is your image path that you have given??

<img src="{$ImagesDir}/thomepagepic.jpg">

Try with <img src="`$ImagesDir`/thomepagepic.jpg"> or specify relative path instead of $ImagesDir. You can't use {smarty_variable} in language variable

Thanks Steve this worked for me, I put a post about using relative paths for putting images in descriptions for categories, and I removed the full URL and it worked.

Since you can only put html in the description of categories, no smarty or PHP, I was simply left with:

<img alt="" src="images/printing_stamps_imgs/Self_Inking_Custom_Stamps.jpg" />

Now when I move my cart from a subfolder to the root, I won't have to modify these urls, since it is relative.

Thanks again!
