image and block below My Left cart in Catalog view

Hi frickeltech,

That’s the callout block, you can open the file of app\design\frontend\default\jm_mago\layout\catalog .xml there you would see this block

HTML Code:

 <reference name="left">
 
            <block type="core/template" name="left.permanent.callout" template="callouts/left_col.phtml">
                <action method="setImgSrc"><src>images/media/col_left_callout.jpg</src></action>
                <action method="setImgAlt" translate="alt" module="catalog"><alt>THE BIG BURGERS</alt></action>
                <action method="setLinkUrl"><url>about-magento-demo-store</url></action>
            </block>
        </reference>

You can custom the Url as well as the image Src here
I hope you get the ideal.

When I change the link to an external link the col_left_callout.jpg disappeared. I want the image to an external link.
how do I do that?

You can change link with "setLinkUrl" method:

Code:

<action method="setLinkUrl"><url>Your_link</url></action>

Note: Your_link is the page url to which you want image to link.
