Centering logo and combatting 500 Internal Server Error

[mescalbean]

ok thanks, using dreamweaver 8, i have looked at what i donwloaded from the server last night and there was nothing that i edited except for the css and jscript_main.php - why would it be working 8 hrs ago and not now, thanks

[DrByte]

why would it be working 8 hrs ago and not now,

I don't know.

1. It could be any number of things, including what I've suggested above.

2. If you are using Dreamweaver for uploading, DO NOT use "check in" and "check out" unless you know EXACTLY what that is doing on your server. It WILL cause problems in several cases.

3. The link I posted earlier explains several other possible causes that are permissions-related. Have you checked and verified all of those suggested causes (the red text in that post)? Have you asked your hosting company about the implications of those issues on your site?

4. You could try this step, to be sure that no files have accidentally become corrupted on your server, whether caused by you or by someone else: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Obscure_Issues

5. You need to talk to your hosting company for further information.

1. /includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
add this: align="center"

          <tbody><tr><!-- All HEADER_ definitions in the columns below are defined in includes/languages/english.php //-->
            <td height="70" valign="middle" width="200" align="center">

2. Your sidebox graphics are 165px wide, but you have your column widths set to 150px.
You'll want to adjust those to somewhere between 165px and 170px in Admin->Configuration->Layout Settings

I tried that but it did not work...
here is my code:

1. /includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
add this: align="center"

          <tbody><tr><!-- All HEADER_ definitions in the columns below are defined in includes/languages/english.php //-->
            <td height="70" valign="middle" width="200" align="center">

I have the same problem but when I go to my template/common/tpl_header.php, I do not have the same code as referenced above. That is, when I open up the tpl_header.php file in Dreamweaver and search for (for example) tbody or td height, it indicates "Done. Not found in the current document." I have searched in both my custom_template/common/tpl_header.php and the default_template/common/tpl_header.php with no success. I am using 1.3.5. Here is the link to the Zen Cart part of our site:
http://www.holymtn.com/catalog

Also, what happened to the search feature in the Zen Forum? It is an option only in the FAQ area of the site now, much to my consternation.

Hi Rae!
If you are trying to center your logo, this should work in your situation;

In your stylesheet.css, find:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
	float: left;
	}

Replace with;

.centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
	float: left;
	}
#logo { text-align: center }

Is the search you mentioned not working for you? I just tried the "Search" in the upper blue bar and it seems to work okay.

[DanAllkins]

I've just tried this and still no luck.. I'm pulling my hair out now, how can I center my logo! lol

If anyone else can help please do!

Cheers
Dan

[Sketchy]

Are you trying to center your 'logo'(the overwrote little Zen Cart logo) or the actual header background? Do you have a URL for your old skool Zen Cart? Only then, we'll see if this is a hair pulling issue.

[Sketchy]

I'm magical; http://www.burningcardmagic.co.uk/

Ahhh, so you went the troublesome way and made a full size image out of the mini logo. That won't go over to easily with the newer versions as you'll crush the tagline wrapper and make unnecessary whitespace in IE.

For a quick fix, declare or make your logo width to 750px... the same width as the actual layout.

[DanAllkins]

That works for me... making the image a little bigger want too much of a pain... my client likes it so that works!!

Cheers

Dan
