Images Not Displaying / Invisible

inboxnews · #1 10-28-2007, 08:00 AM

I read the templating guide, and followed to the letter. I'm using the following to point to my image from the home page:

<img src="{$ImagesDir}/buy.gif">

The image is missing, not displaying, invisible.

When I look at image properties in ie7 it says:

https://www.mywebsite.com/%7B$ImagesDir%7D/buy.gif

Any help is appreciated.

By 'home page' do you mean the static index.html or home.php?

Any ideas anyone?

What are you using to edit the template? That looks like the code is being converted to actual text instead of reading it as html.

Most of my home page is in txt_welcome in languages.

Ahhh...that's why. You can't use Smarty variables inside a language variable that way. Use this instead:

<img src="skin1/images/buy.gif" alt=""/>

That did it. Thanks again balinor!
