Header Question

[sunwest]

I'm brand new to Zen cart, and I have been able to figure out most of the things I'm working on. but I am still having trouble with the header.

I cannot seem to find the right place to add my own header for the Bookshelf template. I've tried every suggestion that I can find in the FAQs and this forum with no success.

I have named it header.jpg, and renamed it to header_bg.jpg as suggested somewhere. I have made changes in language files, header templates and everywhere I can think of with no success. It's obvious I haven't found the proper place to make my changes.

Firstly, you have loaded (via Ftp) your images in ASCII mode - hence the mess. You need to Ftp images in BINARY mode.

There are TWO images - the header_bg and the logo (either logo.gif or logo.jpg - the desired format is specified in header.php in the language folders.

Thanks for the quick response! I can't believe I never checked my FTP to see if it was actually uploading as binary for my images. That's what I gtet for relying on the Auto upload setting!

The header image is fine now, but I'm still seeing the "HEADER_SALES_TEXT" words appearing beneath the header.

You edited a DEFINE statement incorrectly. Re-trace your steps when you edited the language php file that contains this constant. (I think it is header.php)

Make sure you follow PHP rules and syntax.

When you edit a define, you must remove only what is between the second set of single quotes, LEAVING the quote marks intact:

ORIGINAL
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<h1>Sales Message Goes Here</h1>');

EDITED OUT
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');

OK - I got it! I appreciate your help. With this kind of help, setting up the cart will be less of a problem. Thanks again.
