Logo Issues

[plum11]

I followed the tutorial here: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=125 to try to get my logo on the top of the template. I figured out how to get rid of the zencart logo, and I can change the header text, but my image won't show up. I changed the name of the image to logo.gif and uploaded it, but now the zencart logo is back. If I change the name again, the zencart logo goes away, but my logo does not appear. I thought maybe there was something wrong with the image, so I tried using another image, and that didn't work either. Any help would be appreciated. My site, if you need the link, is www.tinderboxoftennessee.com/cart.

I'm new to ZenCart so may not be the best for advice but the logo on your site is searching for a location/URL of
http://www.tinderboxoftennessee.com/...mages/logo.gif

The obvious thing to me to check something like this, is are you sure you uploaded your logo.gif to the location /cart/includes/templates/template_default/images/

The logo would go in /cart/includes/templates/Custom/images/logo.gif

Make sure the extension is .gif instead of .GIF.

so is this what I'm reading about adding customized things, they need to be in a different area, otherwise when you update versions or change templates they will get over written? Hence the /cart/includes/templates/custom/images .......?
So why would the above site for example still be looking/taking the image from the cart/includes/templates/template_default/images/
Is it because it is not detecting another in the custom area? Does it look there first? Do you have to point it elsewhere?
Sorry, trying to learn my way around it too and this topic is just of interest so when I come to do it I can understand it better myself.

Yes, it'll look for a custom template folder. If it finds the folder, it'll look for the file it needs. If it doesn't find the folder or file, it'll default to template_default (hence the name).

fanastic, sounds easy. Thanks . I love it when things magically happen like that :-))

i double checked and the image was in the right file, and it was .gif. but now I can't even get rid of the zen cart header. This is a copy of header.php file. I was just going for a blank up there right now.

and it's under www/cart/includes/languages/english/custom

I'm very confused. Thanks for any help!

Add logo.gif back, above in red, and see if that helps.

I had the logo.gif there and it didn't work. Right now, it's blank in the header,php file, but the zencart logo is still showing up on my site. No changes I make show up. I'm sure something is in the wrong place somehow, but I cant find it..and I'm not sure where else to look.

Ok, don't forget about capital letters. You are using this template.
includes/templates/Custom/ Note the capital 'C'.

Make sure that you have a logo.gif in this directory
includes/templates/Custom/images/logo.gif

And, make sure you are working on the correct English file.
You say you are looking at this one. 'www/cart/includes/languages/english/custom'
But, it should be 'www/cart/includes/languages/english/Custom'
