Changing the logo

[FredZ]

Hello everyone

I am attempting to change the logo situated at the top left corner. I have followed the instructions as per https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=256

I am using the following ver

Zen Cart 1.3.7

Database Patch Level: 1.3.7

v1.3.7 [2007-01-30 15:45:02] (Fresh Installation)


I have not installed any new themes. An out of the box install.

As per the instructions, I built my new logo (using firefox) as a GIF file being L551px x H71px called ssr.gif

the file is located at "includes/templates/custom/images/ssr.gif"

I then modified the header.php file as follows.

// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'My text in here');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '551px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '71px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'ssr.gif');

And saved the file to "includes/languages/english/custom/header.php"

You will note that I have not used capitalized folder names as per the instructions simply becuase the original folder "english" wasn't capitalized from install. so I didn't think it mattered.

The logo didn't change, nor did the text when you hover over the logo.

I am somewhat perplexed by this, as these are the only set of instructions I can find to do this.

Any comments would be most helpfull

Thank for that Kim

I have tried https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=125 and I still cannot get it to work as described.

Update

I have managed to change the logo, but I had to edit the "includes/languages/english/classic/header.php" directly.

I have also noted that the LOGO_WIDTH & LOGO_HEIGHT definitions appear to make no difference to the logo and/or the way it appears. The LOGO_IMAGE definition did work.

I know this is NOT the way it is meant to be done, but when all else fails, what else is left.

Did you select your custom template in the admin under tools->template selection?

I don't have any custom templates installed. This is still an out of the box installation.

I have been reading this thread with interest as I need to change the logo on my zen cart also, like most people I guess.

Anyway I followed all of the directions from both of you and I have a problem I can't quite figure out.

I was able to change my template from admin - tools - templates to my new custom template using the files you listed in your post here in this thread.

Well I must have missed something.

My logo.gif is a picture that I am designing with so I'm using it as a place holder. I changed the sizes to my custom logo.gif in the includes/languages/english/My-Template-Name/header.php so the pic shows fine.

The problem is the whole page is all shifted around. Nothing is in the right place and the left side boxes are pink?

Here is my url so you can see for yourselves what the problem is.

Hopefully you can help me.

I am new to zen cart however, I'm not new to html or css or php. I do know I made a big error somewhere

Any and all help would be much appreciated.

Have a marvelous week!

Blessings,

Looking at your site what I see is exactly what I would expect to see right after creating a custom template......The interesting colors are on purpose so that you can find them by their hex code in the stylesheet while learning the layout. Its the stylesheet from the default_template.....copy the stylesheet from the template_default to your custom template css directory and edit to your liking. It will then override the default stylesheet.

That's in the stylesheet. Here are some hints.

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
	margin: 0em;
	background-color: #9a9a9a; 
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #ffffff;
	height: 1%;
	width: 100%;
	}


#navBreadCrumb {
	background-color: #cc9900; 
	}


.leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading {
	margin: 0em;
	background-color: #FF6699;
	padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
	}

I see Mike beat me to it!
