help! header is missing

[fairview]

I don't know where to put this, but I was attempting to modify the template and thought I was going to delete the logo, but when I did that i lost the header so I just decided to let the logo show up, but the header isn't coming up at all now! Can someone help me? Let me know what to put up and I'll gladly post it. my page is www.heavenlycreationsoklahoma.com

If you had something like this in your stylesheet (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css) and removed it, you removed the background image for your header:

#logoWrapper{
	background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-color: #ffffff;
	height:75px;
	}

To remove the ZC logo or change it to your own, it's in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php

// added defines for header alt and text
  define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
  define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '192px');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '64px');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

Okay, I had not removed the #logowrapper from the stylesheet. So any more guesses. I had attempted to follow these instructions to remove the logo https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=126 which worked for removing the logo, but that's when the header background image disappeared and when I simply tried to reverse the logo removal instructions the logo did come back, but the header image did not. I know that it was that exact time because I was refreshing the browser after everything thing that I uploaded so that I would know if something happened that I didn't like.


Oh also, do I have to have a logo in place to use the header image or can I just incorporate my logo into the header image and then of course not use a logo image file??

It appears that the problem is just with this particular template, so I think that I'm going to try to re-upload the template and then make changes from there to customize it and hope this fixes the problem. Unless someone else has a suggestion....

You can merge the logo with the background. In that case, you have two choices. Treat it as a logo or treat it as the background. Personally, I'd treat it as the logo.

In your stylesheet you need the #logoWrapper to give a background color like this:

#logoWrapper{
	background-color: #ffffff;
	height:75px;
	}

Adjust the size and the color as necessary.

In includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php, you define the size and name of the logo.

// added defines for header alt and text
  define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
  define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '192px');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '64px');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

I suppose you could always make the logo.gif image transparent, so it wouldn't actually show.

Make certain the logo and/or the background image is in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/.
