Home Page Links

[Jules]

Hoping someone can help:) I'm using v5.1.6.0.0.33CNNA.

I need to add a .gif image to the bottom centre of our homepage that links to another site. I have found the homepage template within Actinic but not being familiar with html, I don't know where to put it and don't want to botch anything up!

Can someone tell me if this is correct and where to place it within the template?

<a href="loglink.php?cl=www.forparentsbyparents.com" target="_blank"><img src"../design/fpbp.gif" width="159" height="36" border="0">

Thanks in advance,
Jules

You'll also need a </a> tag at the end.

<a href="loglink.php?cl=www.forparentsbyparents.com" target="_blank"><img src"../design/fpbp.gif" width="159" height="36" border="0"></a>

If you post the template you want to incude it in then that would help.

Hmmm... The file you attached seems to have an open table. If you look at the line very near the end...

<td align="RIGHT">

This should be (I think)

</tr></table>

anyway if you replace the "<td align="RIGHT">" to become:-

</tr></table>
<center>
<a href="loglink.php?cl=www.forparentsbyparents.com" target="_blank"><img src"../design/fpbp.gif" width="159" height="36" border="0"></a>
</center>

Then that should do it.

Note that you are referring to a php page in your acatalog directory as the referenced page of this link. If you mean to refer to a page on someone elses server you will need the full URL instead of just the filename. E.g.

<a href="http://www.somewhere.com/loglink.php?cl=www.forparentsbyparents.com" target="_blank"><img src"../design/fpbp.gif" width="159" height="36" border="0"></a>

That's great Norman, thanks - the link works perfectly:)

The only problem I am having now is that the image doesn't appear, I'm getting a small red cross in an empty box (although when you click on the box the link works fine). I can't find where I've gone wrong, the image definately exists but won't load. Do you have any ideas?

Here is the final string:

<center>
<a href="http://www.forparentsbyparents.com/loglink.php?cl=www.forparentsbyparents.com" target="_blank"><img src"../design/fpbp.jpg" width="139" height="103" border="0"></a>
</center>

Sorry to be a pain:(

I think you'll have to do

Either.

Put these images in your Site1 folder and reference them without the ../design/ bit. If things work right, Actinic should detect these files and upload them to the acatalog directory on your web-site.

Or.

If you have such a directory on your web-site then you'll have to upload the images to it using an FTP program.
