How do you change the menu catagories to images instead of txt

Thanks

[balinor]

To the category images or other images?

[mfcopier]

sorry the menu have images not txt

[balinor]

Yes, but WHAT images do you want to show in the menu? The category images that you upload via admin, or other images?

[mfcopier]

well the images can be uploaded to the image folder in skin1 then pulled on my site l want the text say "Epson ink cartridges" put on a plain button.

Thanks

You could just use CSS to put a background image behind the existing menu text...will be a lot easier. Have a look at the way button.tpl is set up.

[mfcopier]

will this put a background behind all the text

[balinor]

No, you can get a default image behind each of the pieces of text, like a blank button.

I would be very interested in seeing how this is done also. It seems like such an obvious thing but as i'm learning fast - nothing in x-cart is obvious!
