header_bg.jpg>>?

[Jasonf]

I'd like to alter the size of the header image to be a little 'deeper' on my page. When I make a new image and upload it it obviously ownly fits in to the space assigned to it. I'm using classic template - what do I need to edit to allow for more height please?

Thanks in anticipation

includes/languages/english/YOURTEMPLATE/header.php

You'll see the image dimensions settings there.

You need to edit includes/languages/english/header.php. You should put a copy in your override folder first and then edit that file.

// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce [home link]');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<h1>Sales Message Goes Here</h1>');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '200px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '70px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

You should consider building on the template_default or Kuroi's template rather than Classic if you are using 1.3+. Reasons stated many times in other posts.

Good luck.

And takes me longer to say it! (At least that's what they tell me at church).

Did not mean to trample Dr. B's excellent answer. grin

Thanks for replying...I did find that before I posted.....but that to me looks like the dimension setting for logo.gif, not header_bg.jpg which is the graphic that is displayed across the whole page at the top.( Which is what I want to edit.

Any further ideas appreciated, thanks

If this answer shows up twice - hit the 'send to abyss button.' Something timed out. Likely my brain without coffee.

You might try -

// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Jason :: Jason's Art of E-Commerce [home link]');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<h1>Jason has the products you need</h1>');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '760px'); Use your image width
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '200px'); use your image height
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'header_bg.jpg'); Add your image to same folder logo.gif is in your custom template folder.

Edit: If this does not help you, please post a url for the site.

Yes that dimension is for the logo, but because the background is behind the logo it is affected by the dimension. Change the dimension and watch the magic happen.

If you are still stuck, post a URL...

Hi there;

I have a question about this; I've created a new background in which included my logo, so I'd like to get rid of "logo.gif".
Yes, I read FAQ "How to get rid of .... " but I still have [ x ] empty link on top of my background.
Sorry guys, I, m newby.
Thanks
