Problem with logo overlapping header

[Rev Tim]

First thing I did was to change the header and logo images. I made sure to recreate them to the exact size and file type so that I wouldn't have to worry about changing code.

First time I checked the catalog page, I see a clipped version of my header and the logo over it. Not quite sure what I did wrong and not at all sure how to remedy. I have looked at the banner control page and that isn't it . I've looked in Configuration, tools but can't seem to figure out how to make the banner go away. Any ideas on how to fix or what i did wrong?

You have logo-like images as both the header background and the "official" logo. You need one or the other, not both. If you want the small logo image, make the header background without the text so the logo can float over it. You may also want to make the logo.gif have a transparent background so it can sit on the header bg without the rectangular outline.

You can get rid of the "Sales Message Goes Here" tagline by redefining it 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');

Also, you are still using the /classic/ template folders. You should make a set of custom template folders to keep your changes safe. See the tutorials for instructions.

Well, I created the CUSTOM file according to the directions but I haven't copied all the rest of the files, just the ones in the tutorial.
I also copied the images from the Classic folder over.

Now, this is what i have

The layout is totally different... and the colors.. any idea where I screwed up? I know I followed instructions exactly on the tutorial?

To start from a base like the Classic template, you need to copy all of the /classic/ template files. It looks like you missed the stylesheet.

I think you copied the /template_default/ stylesheet; you should replace that with the one from /classic/.

[Rev Tim]

That fixed the layout so thanks for that but the original problem, I cannot do as you suggest as I now have a CUSTOM template director titled shcart and when I go to

/includes/languages/english/your_template/header.php
as you instruct, there is no your_template/ folder... only the Classic one. Am I to assume I need to upload the CUSTOM directory there as well?

[gjh42]

That is correct. Anywhere there is a /classic/ folder, you can make a /your_template/ folder.

Many of the /classic/ folders are empty, and serve only to indicate where custom template overrides can be placed.

I have a similar problem. I replaced the original logo with a bigger one... height 144px but now the logo floats underneath the main_define page... my sidebox is floating over the logo! where can I adjust the page layout so that my logo will have it's own space?

See post #2.
Change the width and height to match your logo image.

I did change the height but if you make it larger than 70px (the original ZenCard logo) the logo floats underneath the side boxes and the main_define page...
