GIF Images / Menu Image

Hi

I have been working really hard on producing a GIF Image for the Menu bar.
It's come to uploading on the site, and it's not animating.
It works fine outside of my website as a file.

I don't know that much on html, or code etc. Can someone Please help me out.
Looking for a dummies guide to implement this!

Thank You

Is the gif going to be on the logo area?

I'm not sure where you mean...

I want the GIF to be at the top of the menu.
Top Left Hand Corner.

Hope that helps

ok.
Upload it in your files folder with an ftp application.
Then go to Admin->Theme->and add the following to the Pre-Nav Text area box:

  1. <a href='/'><img src='/files/THE_NAME_OF_YOUR_IMAGE.gif' alt='THE NAME OF YOUR SITE' title='THE NAME OF YOUR SITE'/></a>

* keep it all in one line - no line breaks.

Great ! I was searching for the same problem. It works perfectly.
Thanks Arsondpi & Partridge ! ;)

Thank You for your help so far.....

However I still haven't been able to achieve this?!

I have dropped the GIF into the files folder and uploaded through ftp.

the file: is carlpartridge_20.gif

website: carlpartridge.co.uk

Hey Carl here an example how to do :

I think it'll be good like this. If it still not working, try to erase the underslash you put here >>> "_20.gif'".

Hyaku / 2012-12-10 23:23:36   

Sorry here is the code :

  1. <a href='carlpartridge.co.uk/'><img src='http://www.carlpartridge.co.uk/carlpartridge_20.gif' alt='carl' title='carl'/></…;

Hi

I have done what you have said but it is still not working!

Do appreciate the help, hopefully we can get this resolved

Carl,
it's not working because you don't have an image where you said : carlpartridge.co.uk/…
Nothing there.

Partridge / 2012-12-11 17:01:15   

This is what I've done:

20.Gif file has been dropped in into my Files Folder in FTP then Gimgs Folder.

Uploaded.

Cut and copied the text above from Hyaku. Refreshed.

Nothing has happened!?

As I said at the start, I know the bare bones.
Sorry if it's obvious, but I'm genuinely lost.

If you're not sure of your image address, you can right-click on it with you ftp app > copy the http url.

Vaska A / 2012-12-11 17:06:03   

The image is here, I believe:

  1. carlpartridge.co.uk/files/…

That is the path you need to use.

THANK YOU!!

Finally got there, really appreciate the help.

I have it on screen now with the correct html code, will finish making the GIF and overwrite file name.

Wanted to make sure I could implement it before I carried on making it.

This thread has been closed, thank you.
