Default How to put image files on the server?
Hi,
I changed a tpl to insert a new image but the image does not display. Where do I need to put the image file so the tpl can find and disaply it. I'm new to X-Cart and not sure how to get files from my PC to the appropriate place on the host server.

They need to go in skin1/images and they need to be called like this:

Default Thanks Padraic
You were the person who encouraged me to go ahead with XCart when I emailed you a couple of months ago, so thanks again for your timely advice. Its excellent.
How do I actually upload the image files to the skin1 directory. I cant find anything that clealry shows the upload path and process to the host server?

You need to download an FTP client like CuteFTP Your host should have provided you with FTP instructions when you signed up.

Are you using a web page editor? If your WYSIWYG editor has FTP access this is a great way to do it.
