Hi,
I am using the PaperMag Theme, and would like to change the "background" image of 3 magazines on the Shop home page... to a SLIDESHOW of my product images with links. I have found the coding for creating this type of slideshow... but am not sure how to put it in place on the theme.
I am working in shopping cart designer pro to completely customize the page. I am working in shopping cart creator pro to add my products/pages, etc. I need the slideshow to appear specifically where that spotlight image is placed. How do I go about doing this?
I tried opening the theme in your html editor, but of course, it is not the proper file type. Please give VERY SPECIFIC instructions. Thanks for your help.

Shaheed, Give these two methods a try. You can place you slide show code where it says "Your code goes here". Then adjust width and height to you code and adjust the top and left relative positions until your show appears on your page in the correct position.
Method #1 CSS
[[[ <style type="text/css"> <!--div#shopimages{width:942px;height:100px;background:red;left:-81px;top:40px;position:relative;} --> </style><div id="shopimages"> Your code goes here </div>]]]
Method #2 Object style
[[[ <OBJECT style="Z-INDEX: 100; POSITION: relative; WIDTH: 942px; HEIGHT: 100px; TOP: 340px; LEFT: 320px; " Your code goes here </OBJECT>]]]

Hey Eric... ok, so I'm having trouble with the slideshow, can you give it a go?
I used this program called VisualSlideshow...(http://visualslideshow.com/) ...you can download it, actually, its free, pretty awesome... I created a quick sample slideshow, uploaded it to my server, and put it in the folder "www/images/"
I then exported the slideshow file from this program and copied the text in the index file. The first time, I just followed the directions in the Slideshow program, and pasted it into the html doohickey on the page I wanted it, in SCCP. Well... that didnt work. I ended up with a bunch of links (that you couldnt click) with what I think were the file names or text captions of the pics. FAIL.
Then I remembered you'd given me this code above... but there were alotta </div>'s so maybe I need to cut the code Im using at different points? I dunno. I ended up with a big red box (rectangle)...
So, help! LOL (and thanks for everything, youve been a great help so far, really appreciate it) Oh! and maybe I should mention, this isnt actually "Shaheed" this is the wife, lol, Ke'lona. Its pretty much been me the last coupld weeks of posts cuz were working on my site now
So here's the code that the Slideshow Program Generated:

...I was told to cut and paste the code as follows:
Open the generated index.html file in any text editor.
* Copy all code for Visual SlideShow from the HEAD and BODY tags and paste it on your page in the HEAD tag and in the place where you want to have a slideshow (inside the BODY tag).

...so I did. And I used the first code above that you gave me, and just pasted my code in between where you indicated. Ended up with a big red rectangle overlapping the text, and thats all.
Tried it with the second code (the object one) and it didnt show anything.
Here's the page where I'm trying to put it: www.creative-motivations.com
I wanted it right above the "welcome..." text, and obviously want the welcome text to move down
