Editing a template 101

[NekkidFish]

Okay, I have figured out how to do a few tings from the admin panel, but now I am lost on how to continue on.

1. Based on things I've read on here, I thought I could edit out the text included, in the header.php file, but there is no header.php in the includes/languages/english folder. There is an index.php but I don't see any text in there to edit/delete either. So, how do I remove both the text at the top "Your logo could be wider here ..." and "Congratulations, you have successfully installed ..." ??

2. How do I place my logo at the top, and get rid of the Cherry Zen logo? How do I know what size my logo should be?

3. Can I remove "Template designed by Sage Fish.com." from the bottom, or is it against the rules? If I can delete it, can you tell me how to do that?

Lastly, is there a place where there are some easy to read and understand tutorials ... for someone like me that has never used Zen-Cart? I am using the Zen-Cart/wiki ones, the ones I can understand ... but I'd love if there were some easy ones on customising a template ... setting up products, prices, sales tax, etc.

I have used the search function on here so many times the last week I feel brain dead. So, yes, I do know how to search the forums ... it's just hard finding specifics ... especialy for a total newbie.

Thanks and HUGz! Jules

One other question ... when I open my website, up in the left hand corner of the browser it says "Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce - Mozilla Firefox".

Can I change that so that it has my own custom title, such as "Pawsome Dogz - Haute Designs for Pawsome Dogs! - Mozilla Firefox". ??

Thanks bunches! Jules

You can find the answers in the Tutorials/FAQ (link at top of page).

Start with... https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=129

You might also consider using one of the free templates available for Zen Cart. They make great jumping off points and learning tools.

You can see them in action at http://(sorry, site offline)/

Thanks Afo.

I did open the index.php file, but did not see any text in there ... just code.

However, I will say that I opened it in my host's file manager, in edit mode, so maybe it does not show up in there. Maybe I need to try and open it in a text editor for that text to show up?

HUGz! Jules

ALWAYS edit php files with a good text editor. Crimson Editor and Notepad++ are good and free on the net.
