This is a very helpful mod. I was looking for a way to add icons to the products page.
I have only been half way successful. I am able to show HTML text in the field, but I can't get images to show. I keep getting the red X of misery. I have checked, and there are no htaccess files in the image directories, so that can't be the problem. I also have the files set to 777. I have even tried different locations for the .gif image, including the location for my product pics (which do work) but it just won't play.
Here is one variation of the several I've tried putting in the extra field:
<IMG src="{ImagesDir}/"icon.gif">
I also went to the DB and changed it from CHAR255 to TEXT. No difference.
Help! Thanks.
