X-Cart forums

I know when I did the last x-cart set up I did this...and can't remember for the life of me how I did it. And I know the thread on how is in here somewhere..but after about 2 hours of looking...I'm at a loss.

I want to use an image instead of the header box above each of the sideboxes in my store. I remember something about creating a new .tpl file and what not...but ??? Again...at a loss.

If anyone can explain how I would go about doing this...or at least point me to the thread that has the step by step on this..I would be TOTALLY grateful.

Each sidebox there is controlled by the menu.tpl template. You need to edit the table and cells that hold the {$menu_title} and replace them with tables/cells and your own image. It is basically html editing - so if you can use a decent html editor, it will help.
If you want one for each menu, then you should duplicate this menu template, to menu_help.tpl or whatever, and replace the call to menu.tpl in each template, e.g. help.tpl
