If you want to put smarty tags in your static pages - then they need to be parsed and compiled - so you would need to check the box.

It should not affect the rest of your store. The difference will be that it will take some added amount of time & resources to compile your static pages for the smarty. The added time is likely not significant.

If you prefer not to have that done - you can use the absolute link to the image in your static page, and avoid using smarty

Thanks for the solution gb2world, i had re-aplied the absolute link to the static page, the reason why i tried smarty is the help guide http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=21529 which states a security issue so i thought i would give it a try.
I will try out your sugestion, thanks again gb2world....

It is not really a security issue - but the problem is you may get security warnings on some browsers if you use absolute paths to the images - which will scare off customers.

So - if you used an "http://" in the absolute link to the image - and if your cart is set up so that the static page can be accessed with an "https://" - you will get a security warning. I think if you set up the absolute link with "/skin1/images/people1.jpg" on your static pages, you'll probably be okay.
