Can anyone assist with this situation. I need to place an advert in the left side on the home page. Something similar to where the PayPal logo is normally located.

Thanking you in advance.

Hi,

By default, magento provides a block for displaying callout image, you can add this block to that position and change to your desired image.

What you need to to is opening this file: /app/design/frontend/default/jm_natris/layout/catalog.xml, at approx line 53, there will be code like this

Code:

<reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/product_compare_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/>
</reference>

change it to:

Code:

<reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/product_compare_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/>
<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>Our customer service is available 24/7. Call us at (555) 555-0123.</alt></action>
<action method="setLinkUrl"><url>checkout/cart</url></action>
</block>
</reference>

Once done, pls flush all magento cache
