X-Cart forums

I'm pretty new to this x-cart. As far as I know, I went into head.tpl and changed the <img src=" to my image http.

I know a fair bit about html and whatnot, but editing templates through x-cart has got me skint. Can someone run me through it, no nonsense, please?!

Hi,
Welcome to x-cart! You have a bit of a learning curve ahead of you, but this forum can be a great resource if you start the right way. Firstly, put your x-cart version in your signature as per the rules - that way people can give you the right advice as each version is different.
Then have a look through the forum, mainly at the stickies for newbies, there is loads of help for those starting out - particularly Balinor's template editing guide.
You should always reference images using img src="{$ImagesDir}/yourimage.gif}, so that you avoid SSL warnings later. Then put your image in skin1/images and you should be done.

One other thing (in case you still haven't got it working) - in Smarty.class.php you have to change "var $compile_check = false;" and "var $force_compile = false;" to true while you make template changes. then change them back to false once your changes are in.
