insert image on pages

[theqc]

I am wondering how to insert an image onto any page such as:
Customer Registration, Gift Cert, all pages and other pages, etc.
I tried looking through forum, but didn't seem to spot anything.
We have a custom logo (as most businesses do) and have tried different ways of inserting...no luck!
What code or what do I need to insert an image onto a page like this?

Also, I am trying to have my Search page come up with 3 columns and thought the gradient did that?
Am I wrong or what do I need to do to get this instead of one long list.
I tried reading the help, but am confused.

I will probably have more questions later as I am trying to switch my shopping from the site it is incorporated to now using the order anywhere linker.
I want my site to look the way it does now, but I have spent a great deal of time and don't seem to be getting far.

O, and can I not enter additional text to a product? EX: we sell fabric and when we don't have yardage left and only small pieces, we want it to say " only x/number of fat quarters left" or only 14" left.
Is this possible to add with the product info somehow?

Thanks,
Ann

Ann,

Images can be inserted in to pages using either straight HTML code or our HTML editor which makes it more like working in a microsoft word document. The HTML Editor has an insert/edit image feature. If the HTML Editor is already turned on you should see an [Editor] link above the text fields in ShopSite. To turn on this feature, you can go to Utilities > HTML Editor and select the radio button for on; then save your changes. More information on the HTML editor can be found at the URL below:
http://www.shopsite.com/help/11.1/en-US/sc/pro/html_editor.html

Your logo can be inserted into the header field of ShopSite (Preferences > Page Header & Footer or Preferences > Layout Settings depending on your version).

To insert images specifically on the Customer Registration page go to Commerce Setup > Customer Registration > Configure and enter it in to the box labeled "Text at the top of Customer Registration Screens."

To insert images specifically on the Gift Certificate page go to Merchandising > Gift Certificates > Configure.

For the columns in the search go to Preferences > Search Settings > Search Layout. There is a pull-down menu there for the number of columns.

You can enter as much or as little text in the product description box as you would like (Products > Edit Product Info) but the information is not dynamic, meaning it will not self-update.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. I will give these a try when I have time, seems simple enough.

I thought I had done this already...
but I don't have that option under utilites...
What do I do to get the editor to show above the box to enter an image?
Thank you,
Ann

What version of ShopSite do you have? (10,10sp1, 10sp2, 11, 11sp1)
What product level? (Pro, Manager, Starter)

To find out click on the ShopSite logo at the top of any backoffice screen. That will take you to the initial screen and in the footer it will tell you both the version and the product level.

I have ShopSite® Pro 9.0.2

Ann,

I see. The HTML editor was not added until ShopSite version 10 (the latest is version 11 sp1). You will either want to look into upgrading your store to a newer version, or you will need to use straight HTML code to insert your images into the ShopSite text fields.

Ok, thank you.
Can you tell me the cost to upgrade or it is on the website?
Also, is there a standard HTML code for inserting pictures or where would I find that?
I have tried looking in the help, but haven't had luck.
Thank you

Ann,

The process and cost for upgrading will depend on where your website is hosted. If you are willing to provide who your hosting provider is or your website URL (you can PM me if you do not want it listed in the forum), then I can help you figure out how to upgrade your website.

The HTML for your images can be found under Images > Edit Image. It is called the Image tag. Simply copy that and paste it into the field of your choice.

[theqc]

We are hosted through Blue Host.
And thank you, I will try that with the images.
Do you also offer a service to design certain aspects of the shopsite? Like: search, page templates, etc?
What sort of fee would this have?
Thanks!

Can you also tell me how to make an image a link?
Thank you,
Ann

Ok. So it looks like your store was a direct purchase from us here at ShopSite. So you will need to check out the URL below for our support costs. You are looking at a mutli-version jump for Pro along with Upgrade Help if you need our technicians to install the upgrade:
http://www.shopsite.com/support_pricing.html

We do not offer services ourselves for design, however, there are many independent contractors listed on our Certified ShopSite Designers page:
http://www.shopsite.com/csd.html

To make an image a link the most basic code would look something like this:

<a href="http://www.shopsite.com">
<img src="shopsite_logo.jpg" alt="ShopSite" />
</a>

However, you can look up this code and more complex examples by doing a google search using terms such as "image a link html."

Perfect! Thank you so much for all the info.
