A set of beautiful gif. buttons was made for the site. Catch is they were placed on Portal Page. How do I get them to the Category section of first page of store.
Under Editing Templates I found from 4/29/05 the following:

"Personally, I usually replace all the buttons with custom graphics by either creating a new template for each button, or by hard coding the buttons into the templates themselves."

This sounds like what I should do, but how?

All the button templates are found in skin1/buttons. You would need to either edit the master button template (button.tpl) or call your custom gif images from each individual button template. For example, to replace all of your 'Continue' buttons with a custom image, open up skin1/buttons/continue.tpl and replace this:

{include file="buttons/button.tpl" button_title=$lng.lbl_continue href=$href title=$title style=$style}

with this:

[img]{$ImagesDir}/imagename.gif[/img]

Replace the 'x' with the actual image sizes and replace imagename.gif with the actual name of the image. You will also need to put all of the images in your skin1/images directory.

Repeat for each button template you want to replace.

Good luck!

I should have been more descriptive,sorry.

We would like to replace the text for categories on site page with the buttons. The category box on left lists product categories in text it is this text that we want to replace with buttons.

Ahhh...I'm afraid that is a little more complicated and not as easy to describe.
