How do i find the original file tpl_header and could that be the problem

I trust you have an unzipped copy of Zencart on your local computer?

If not, go grab a copy and unzip it on your hard drive...

(download link is on this site home page...)

Basically.... no.... it's not correct.

I do not know why you are creating your own folders... !

Did you read the docs that come with ZC ? Perhaps you haven't done so yet, so take a look here:

it opens under dreamweaver

Better keep Dreamweaver out of things for now. Only very experienced users should manage the files in dreamweaver.

You need to download a PLAIN TEXT EDITOR (such as CRIMSON EDITOR), and that is what you will use to open your PHP files - NOT Dreamweaver.

Crimson Editor is freeware on the WWW. Google for it.

Yes I have read that,and thought i followed it......I thought CUSTOM means to make your own folder, thats what ive read in the forum somewhere....so do you think my image upload is not correct?

Sorry that i dont know that much, but appreciate you patience

It automatically opened in dreamweaver because i guess its on my computer, i have a mac

It's really great that you are so enthusiastic about Zencart, and you want it working for you right now - (not tomorrow, but NOW)...

Be a little patient... don't try to sprint before you can crawl...

There are a few basic rules you need to follow, so slow down a bit.

Firstly, you should not be ripping into the core code.

My advice to to set up a proper CUSTOM template (over-ride system), and then move on from there.

There are good tutorials in the FAQ for setting up a custom template.

By default Zen Cart™ uses header_bg.jpg for the name of this image, but you can use your own filename for the background image.


Using an image editor, create a new background graphic and save it to includes/templates/CUSTOM/images/header_bg.jpg and upload the file to your server.

This is where i thought i had to create my own folder for the custom part

i have a mac

Okay... that explains why...

Crimson Editor may not be appropriate. You need to get a MAC compatible plain text editor...
