: S5 Frontpage display
: jc786 March 10, 2009, 04:29:27 AM
Hi,
I've created my own images for the frontpage display module and put them in the images folder of the template.
I am using wamp but noticed that in the module backend only url are used to identify images.

I tried typing D:\wamp\www\mysite\templates\edenrock\images\s5_frontpage_display_1.png but no image appeared.

Eventually i want to upload the site to a live server so i need the least confusing and easiest way of using the right file path protocol.

Thanks

Hi, if you are using it via wamp you would need:

http://localhost/templates/edenrock/images/s5_frontpage_display_1.png

or this might also work:

templates/edenrock/images/s5_frontpage_display_1.png

hi, i tried using both paths but it doesnt work. My point is that in the demo you use a web address to point to the image. Is this hard coded into the template html or csss files. or can you use the templates/edenrock....display.png path?????

Anyway i am saving the images as png 8bit file without any luck.

The demo images that link back to the shape5 website work but not the ones i saved in the edenrock image folder.
