Okay, so I purchased this awesome new template for all of my listings. I've changed all the html tags and everything shows up great...but...

....the photos are not showing up. I'm figuring it has something to do with the html in the template for the pictures. I use one main large photo and then small thumbnails underneath which can be clicked to enlarge in the main photo above. However, it is not working.

Would anyone with html knowledge let me know why it's not working?

Here's my html for the photos:

<!----pictures-----><center>

<P><FONT face="Flat Brush"
color=#99788b></FONT><br>
<IMG src="[IMAGE1]" name=picture border="0">


<b><center>
<p align="center"> <font color="99788b" face="Flat Brush" size="3">Click Images to Enlarge<br></b>
<A onclick="document.picture.src='[IMAGE1_600]'; return false;" href="#" ;"><img src="[IMAGE1_50]" hspace="1" vspace="4" border="0"></a>
<A onclick="document.picture.src='[IMAGE2_600}'; return false;" href="#" ;"><img src="[IMAGE2_50]" hspace="1" vspace="4" border="0"></a>
<A onclick="document.picture.src='[IMAGE3_600}'; return false;" href="#" ;"><img src="[IMAGE3_50]" hspace="1" vspace="4" border="0"></a>
<A onclick="document.picture.src='[IMAGE4_600}'; return false;" href="#" ;"><img src="[IMAGE4_50]" hspace="1" vspace="4" border="0"></a>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I paid $25 for this template and would reallllly like to use it!! Wink

This sounds like a similar problem I have. But right away I can see a problem with your code...it's 2-fold. First, your image tags need to be [IMAGE1_URL], and then set the 'width=600' or 'width=50'. Second, there is a bug in the system that does not allow you to include two different types of [IMAGE] tags for the same image. But switching it to [IMAGE1_URL] should fix the problem.
Thanks for your reply, Splendid. Smile

So, what you're saying is that I can not have a click to enlarge in my auctions the way it is set up? Also, I would have to go in and manually put all the URL's into each ad? If so, that's just not going to work! <LOL!> I have hundreds of auctions and it would take a long time to do that.

The problem is...I don't want all full size pics. I want potential customers to be able to click on the photos underneath so they can view the photos right in the ad at the larger size rather than being re-directed to view them larger size. So, am I SOL?
Well, I'm pretty new at this too, but I think can help you. I looks lke your coming from InkFrog, and its different here. So let me try to be more clear, because you got it a little wrong.

You can't put any value into the image tag to adjust the size. Instead use the [IMAGE1_URL] tag, which puts the URL for the image in there for you...you don't have to manually insert the URL for each image. Then add your width to the HTML. So instead of
<A onclick="document.picture.src='[IMAGE1_600]'; return false;" href="#" ;"><img src="[IMAGE1_50]" hspace="1" vspace="4" border="0"></a>

use this
<A onclick="document.picture.src='[IMAGE1_URL]',width='600'; return false;" href="#" ;"><img src="[IMAGE1_URL]" width="50" hspace="1" vspace="4" border="0"></a>

But...here's the problem I'm having with my own templates...
Since you use [IMAGE1] earlier in your code, you cannot use [IMAGE1_URL] later in your code...it only allows for one type of image tag per image.

Although, the [IMAGE1] tag in Auctiva creates a 'click to enlarge' feature for you...but you have to use their sizing, which is 400x300 thumbnail.
