Default adding images to the front page
Hi Guys

i'm new to this, so need some help. If i want to add an image advertising a product on mine to the front page, is better to just insert the image diectly into home.tpl, or would it be better to make a new .tpl file, insert the image into that and then include that .tpl file into home.tpl

Thanks in advance for your help

customer/main/welcome.tpl

That template controls the front page text, so just add your image there.

You would first need to modify your subcategories template to include icons, and then you could add this to welcome.tpl to show them:

{include file="customer/main/subcategories.tpl"}

Is this likely to be a difficult task for an xCart newbie?
