Hi Mmontez -

Try the text file (http://www.thekidscollegefund.com/rawfiles/bans-ebay-link.zip) for the code - the html of the post kinda skews the code a bit.

Let me know if that worked for you - please post a link to your site in your return post - free advertising also!

Nicely done - this particular mod, and this site as a whole. (Speaking of, isn’t it time for a new post? )

Just curious though: is the banner your own creation or eBay’s? If yours, you wouldn’t happen to be willing to share the source file. I know it’s a little thing, but the backgrounds I plan to use on many of my sites aren’t going to be pure white, so the banners don’t blend just right.

If not, not a problem, I can create another. But why reinvent the wheel if I don’t have to…

Hi once again, Mark!

Thank you for getting back to me.

Actually I am using my own header, not the default. I guess I should have mentioned the fact. So, what now?

Thank you ahead of time!

Hi Jiselle -

If you are using the default BANS theme, you want to upload the image into your /Themes/default/images/ folder. You should see an image in there now named: “ebay.gif”, essentially, you will just be adding this image into the same folder, it is named ebay.jpg.

Thanks,

Mark

Hello Mark,

Thanks for this it is something I have wanted but I am having trouble with it working. I know a little HTML and I did what you said but when I uploaded the file I the image didn’t show just a box with not the red x but something like it.

I believe my problem is in uploading the image. What I did was make the folders you said to put the image in - where you said put your theme where you have ‘your theme’ the folders I have where I foudn ‘themes’ was here: scripts>themes>default

Now since I had only the default I made a folder with my theme ‘harley’ and put the image there.

I understand I royally screwed up here and I do apologize for my lack of knowledge but could you please set me straight? I know enough to know that I didn’t change the file name where the image goes but well, you can figure this out, right? :o)

I just turned off my ebay logo for now but would like to get this figured out.

Thanks very much for your time!

Mark,

I copied the codse from the file you posted above and this time it worked.

This is a GREAT MOD. I have been trying to figure out how to put a visible, but unobtrusive sign-up link on each page. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Many Thanks,

Ross
