top header image

OK, I am a total noob here when it comes to Zen-Cart and how to change things. I am trying to put my logo image across the top and everything I have found to do it has not worked. Made the custom folder put the files in it changed the template_info.php and now there is nothing there, it was the blue logo orig. I need step by step help cuz I have going around in circles trying to figure it out! Please help. I am 2 days old. LOL
This is what is in my template_info.php now.

$template_name = 'CUSTOM';
$template_version = 'Version 1.0';
$template_author = 'Wayne Seabright (c) 2014';
$template_description = 'This is my own template, created for my site. Three images are required; logo.jpg, header_bg.jpg, and tile_back.jpg.';
$template_screenshot = 'scr_template_default.jpg';
?>

Re: top header image

I'm checking that you've uploaded your three images; logo.jpg, header_bg.jpg, and tile_back.jpg in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images.

Re: top header image

It looks deeply nested...
/includes/templates/new/images/logo.gif is what I saw from your site.
Did you name your image .jpg or .gif?

Re: top header image

Your site won't load here, and it's difficult to offer specific advice without being able to see it.

I can't tell if you have it right, but template_info.php should be in includes/templates/CUSTOM

Re: top header image

I don't know why it won't load there, I clicked on it and it loads fine here. That's where it's at.

Re: top header image

You have selected the default template 'CUSTOM' in admin here:
Admin ->Tools -> Template Selection
It should look something like this on the right...

Preview Classic Contemporary Green
Preview CUSTOM

click edit
select from the dropdown menu
update

Also, YOUR_TEMPLATE or CUSTOM files should all have the same name...

Re: top header image

It is safe to overwrite the logo.gif (currently zen) to ( your dreamweaver) and other images in templates/new/images. Save your logo as logo.gif.
That's the code it wants to read. Otherwise, you have to custom code dreamweaverlogo.gif in multiple locations.

Hope that helps,

Re: top header image

Glad it's starting to come together :)

Change your css look here:
templates/new/css/stylesheet.css

and in admin I'd start here:
Configuration-> tools -> layout boxes controller

Start having some fun!

Re: top header image

Use your stylesheet.css

something like this:

#logo, .attribImg {
float: inherit;
display: block;
margin-left: 90px;
margin-right: 90px;
}

Play around with it :)

Hope that helps,
