Help with some PHP editing a new template (Picaflor)

[JohnnyScience]

There are a few things I need help editing on my site still and a lot of it seems like it's PHP.

But where can I find the index.html so I can edit things like body etc? All I can find are PHP files

To start I'm having issues with the logo showing up

The website is http://visionaryscience.net/ and I have uploaded the new logo & edited the code correctly (I thought) but not sure why the logo image isn't showing up? Anyone have any ideas? I followed the Picaflor directions as follows:

Create your logo in your image editing program and upload it to includes/templates/yorkshire_clean/images.

Open includes/languages/english/yorkshire_clean/header.php in a plain text editor. Find this code on or around line 24:

define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Yorkshire Clean :: Free Template by www.picaflor-azul.com');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '235px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '60px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.png');

    Replace "Yorkshire Clean :: Free Template by www.picaflor-azul.com" with your site name and tag line here
    Replace "235px" with your logo width
    Replace "60px" with your logo height
    Replace "logo.png" with the name of your logo image

define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Your store name :: your store tag line');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', 'height in px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', 'width in px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'your logo name .png');

You have the image listed as visionarysciencelogo.jpg. The browser is looking for visionarysciencelogo.png.

BTW, there are no HTML files to edit in Zencart. All pages are created on the fly from PHP files and database data and presented to the browser as HTML.

[gjh42]

There is no index.html to edit. All the HTML output is created at runtime by various PHP files with info from the database, and sent to your browser. When you click a link to another page, the one you are on evaporates and the next one is built and sent to you.
So you need to locate the correct PHP file that builds the element you want to edit. What exactly do you want to change aside from the logo?

It is currently looking for
includes/templates/template_default/images/visionarysciencelogo.png
because it couldn't find
includes/templates/yorkshire_clean/images/visionarysciencelogo.png
but you say you are using visionarysciencelogo.jpg, and when I change the HTML output using Firebug to look for that, the logo displays correctly on your site.

[JohnnyScience]

I made both a jpg & .png & neither one of them were showing up for me.

Normally I only use .png's when I need a transparent background.

Since I already have the .jpg file uploaded, what/where do I need to change the HTML output code to reflect this?

Not html but php

Look for

/includes/languages/english/template_name/header.php

Replace template_name with your template name

Ahh wonderful! It seems I finally got it to work. Needs a little CSS, but at least it's there!

Now what about cleaning up the stuff at the bottom:

Copyright © 2013 VisionaryScience.net. Powered by Zen Cart.
Zen cart templates by Picaflor Azul.

I want to leave the Copyright 2013 visionaryscience.net

But I want to delete the rest.

Thanks.

[stevesh]

It's in english.php, though I think a small link is the least we can do to say 'thanks' for a great piece of free shopping cart software.

[JohnnyScience]

Hmm, when I delete

'</a>. Powered by <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen Cart</a>'

in the english.php it breaks the page:

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright &copy; ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '" target="_blank">' . STORE_NAME . '</a>. Powered by <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen Cart</a>');

Any idea why?

[kobra]

Try this

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright &copy; ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '" target="_blank">' . STORE_NAME . '</a>);

[picaflor-azul]

Try this

define('FOOTER_TEXT_BODY', 'Copyright © ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '" target="_blank">' . STORE_NAME . '</a>);

I just wanted to post to let you know that if you read the readme.html file included in the template package most of your questions will be answered ;)

Thanks,

Anne
