Modifying About Page

[napoleonesq]

I am trying to modify my About page, and I know I have to modify the About html file. But I want to add an image or two in the page, and I dont know where to store the image and then have an html code to pull and show the image. Should I create a new folder in my pixelpost root directory?

I hope I made sense :)

Abolutely correct, just create another folder (ie aboutimages) and then reference that.

<img src="http://yoursite.com/aboutimages/image1.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt="Image 1" title="Image 1" />

In order to make it work perfect and keep all related images to a template you should place the images in the folder images under template:

templates/mytemplate/images/image1.jpg

You can then reference to the picture as :
<img src="templates/mytemplate/images/image1.jpg" alt="Image 1" title="Image 1" />

I can't get this to work. I am too just trying to add a photo to my about page, but no matter where i store the image, it shows up missing when viewd in browser. I've confirmed that the photo is loaded to server, the path is correct before i load, and then nothing!?

I'm a new user to pp and appreciate the help here, but i'm at a loss.

thanks

So put it in images directory of Pixelpost and it should work fine.

the image link is this:
http://www.laglj.com/journal/templates/simple/images/lane.jpg

the <img src in your about template is
http://www.laglj.com/journal/images/lane.jpg

use
<img src="templates/simple/images/lane.jpg" ...> as shonhose posted.
Or take the absolute path from above.

thanks for the help,

An absolute path did the trick (and I put the images in pixelpost images as GeoS suggested). I still can't get a relative path to work, but that concerns me little.

thanks for the advice austriaka - I left things a bit of a mess and had that image all over the place (so there was an image at both http://www.laglj.com/journal/templat...mages/lane.jpg and at http://www.laglj.com/journal/images/lane.jpg), but your suggestion to use an absolute path helped me out. thanks

My suggestion was like that just because your code had target there. I suggest to not keep in /images directory other photos then this uploaded by PP. Try to move it into template dir or, if you like it, leave it as it is.

gotcha. moved it no problem. thanks again
