How do add an image to my storefront that is not a product? I normally use the "generate HTML-links" function to copy the code for product images when I display them on the storefront main page. But, how do I add images that are not in my product database to the storefront?

Thank you in advance - Alfred

What do you mean by the 'storefront main page'? home.php, index.html??

Uplaod the image to skin1/images.

Edit skin1/customer/main/welcome.tpl and add the image like this:

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

Balinor,

Thanks for that tip. Is there a method of adding / revising images through the webmaster mode. These are images that will likely be changed frequently - I am not certain, but it seems like the steps you offered are for more permanent changes - and, I am sorry that I was not more specific as to goal.

Thanks - Alfred

Webmaster mode can't handle images I'm afraid. Simply name the image something that you will remember, and upload a new one to replace the old one via ftp each time you want to change it.

Balinor,

Thank you again. Are there step by step instructions anywhere that I can study to perform this task. As you can tell, I am relatively new to these skills.

You simply do as I posted above. When you want to change the image, upload an image with the same name to the same folder and it will overwrite it.
