Logo problems - please help

[ryangsoton]

ok, thanks for that. have just read up on the template issues and think i can sort that with no problems.

With regards to the size, what size is ideal for a logo? and do i set this size in the index.php or in my image editor?

Many thanks for your help!

Make sure to use Override!
Please refer to other related topics about Override.

The original file is in the:
includes/languages/english/header.php

Then copy the above file and save to your override dirctory:
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php

If you had modified the above file before, then you should use compare and match methods.


And modify the following lines to match your needs.

// added defines for header alt and text
  define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
  define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here');
  define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '192px');   // adjust this for your logo width
  define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '64px');    // adjust this for your logo height   
  define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');  // this is your logo file name

Thank you for your reply,

Ive setup a new template and still have the same problem with that as i did with the classic template ie, when i change the logo width/height in the header.php file the file does not change size and is still no small. regardless of what sizes i make it it stays constant.

Any further ideas? Much appreciated

Ive setup a new template

Do you have the template updated for your site?
It is still in the form of classic template.

and still have the same problem with that as i did with the classic template

from the current site of the link you provided above.
The page width is 750px and its set in the stylesheet.

But now you have a logo.png with the a width of 760px and a height of 110px.

By view source of your page.

<table width='100%' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' border='0' class='header'>

<tbody>
<tr>
<!-- All HEADER_ definitions in the columns below are defined in includes/languages/english.php //-->

<td width='192' valign='middle' height='64'>
<a href='http://www.climax-creation.com/zen-cart-v1.3.0.2-full-fileset/index.php?main_page=index'>
<img width='760' height='110' title=' Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce [home link] ' alt='Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce [home link]' src='includes/templates/classic/images/logo.png' />
</a>

</td>

<td valign='top' align='center'>
<h1>
</h1>

</td>

</tr>

</tbody>
</table>

From above code you have another setting of the img width='760' height='110'.
It is too wide for your page width with 750px which set in the stylesheet.

You can either set your page width to 760px or reduce your true image size to width less than 750px.

And don't forget to modify the file of header.php
in the line
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<h1></h1>');

Remove the <h1></h1> and then read as below:
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');

Otherwise, you will have a blank white space of about 10px - 12 px at the right margin of the logo and can't get rid of it.

ie, when i change the logo width/height in the header.php file the file does not change size and is still no small. regardless of what sizes i make it it stays constant.

The setting in the header.php file will not modify the size of the image, instead it helps to adjust the positions of the centering.

Got it! Thank you so much. Taking out that h1 h1 sorted it. Have now opened a new thread about the stylesheet - feeling a bit dumb!
