I have uploaded an image to skin1/images, put the following code on a static page
<td width=20% align=center> <img src="{$/ImagesDir}/people1.jpg" alt="Customer reviews" /></td>
The image does not show, only the alt text is visable where the image should be.
The image is in the file as i have checked with FTP.
Where am i going wrong?

You have an inadvertent backslash:
change {$/ImagesDir} to {$ImagesDir}

Hi I have removed the inadvertent backlash but image still not showing.

Have you tried running cleanup.php?

When you view the html source - is the path to the image as you expect it to be? You should see the correct path in your html source: <img src="/skin1/images/people1.jpg" alt="Customer reviews" />

As to running cleanup.php, no i have not.
I am not sure how i see the correct html source?

[gb2world]

To view the html, look in the browser's menu, for something like View->Page Source or Page->View Source

[swifty1]

This is what i see
<td width=20% align=center<img src="{$ImagesDir}/people1.jpg" alt="Customer reviews" /></td>
Which is not what you thought....any ideas as to why the correct path is not showing?

There is a setting somewhere to parse smarty on static pages - let me look for it....

[gb2world]

General Settings -> Miscellaneous -> Parse Smarty tags in the content of embedded static pages:

Select this check box if
you want your static pages to be treated as templates.

This box is unchecked are you saying that the box should be checked, if so what does this do and will it affect my store in other ways?
