Hello

Group I was trying to add a image to the welcome.tp page
Dremweaver added the following to the page which did work in DW:
<p align=center>[img]../../../files/myproducts/d_13.jpg[/img]</p>

However, when loaded up at the web site the picture did not show. The only way for me to get it to show up was use the full URL. Is there a better way of doing this?
<p align=center>http://www.mydomain.com/xcart/files/myproducts/d_13.jpg</p>

What I am asking is do I have to use the absolute path if I am adding an image to a page?

If I use a image in the image folder I found I can do the following and the image shows up great.
<p align=center>[img]{$ImagesDir}/xlogo.gif[/img]</p>

What I am trying to do is make some modifications in DW (if possible) so I can see what is going on.

What is the best way to make these modifications.

It'll also work from within dreamweaver if the folder structure is the same as your live site.

Will work too and won't break on static generation either.

Thanks groovico

I am going to see if I can follow what you write and have another go at it.

welcome.tpl just references welcome_txt in the languages section, why not just put your code in the welcome_txt file?

Yeah, thats much easier (snorocket ref.), that way it is much easier to change it when you like. But you would still have to use the http reference for the image I guess.

keep images in skin1/images folder and reference them as {$ImagesDir}/yourpic.jpg

I tried using the following text in welcome_txt:

<center>

<font color="#FF0000">[img]/files/store_images/card_save_big_sm_clr.gif[/img]
<font size="6">Grand Opening Sale!!! </font> [img]/files/store_images/card_save_big_sm_clr.gif[/img]</font></p>


<h3>Everything in the store is 20% off for the month of October. Don't miss this excellent opportunity.</h3>


But the images are never shown (just little red X in IE). This is the full path to teh images from the http:// point of view.

I don't want to mess with the .tpl file as I want to be able to change this month to month. How to get it to work?

Full URL doesn't work either... (http://mysite/files/store_images/card_save_big_sm_clr.gif)
