I have installed v1.3.8. How can I get rid of the huge log of zen?

[sunzhoujian]

I am looking at the index.php, however, I don't know which one to delete. I definitely would keep the "powered by zen cart". However, I need more space for my stuff and I hope that you can understand me and help me.

/**

 * now read "includes/templates/TEMPLATE/jscript/on_load/on_load_*.js", which would be site-wide settings

 */

  $directory_array=array();

  $tpl_dir=$template->get_template_dir('.js', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, 'jscript/on_load', 'jscript/on_load_');

  $directory_array = $template->get_template_part($tpl_dir ,'/^on_load_/', '.js');

  foreach ($directory_array as $value) { 

    $onload_file = $tpl_dir . '/' . $value;

    $read_contents='';

    $lines = @file($onload_file);

    foreach($lines as $line) {

      $read_contents .= $line;

    }

    $za_onload_array[] = $read_contents;

  }



  // set $zc_first_field for backwards compatibility with previous version usage of this var

  if (isset($zc_first_field) && $zc_first_field !='') $za_onload_array[] = $zc_first_field;



  $zv_onload = "";

  if (isset($za_onload_array) && count($za_onload_array)>0) $zv_onload=implode(';',$za_onload_array);



  //ensure we have just one ';' between each, and at the end

  $zv_onload = str_replace(';;',';',$zv_onload.';');



  // ensure that a blank list is truly blank and thus ignored.

  if (trim($zv_onload) == ';') $zv_onload='';

  require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_main_page.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_main_page.php');

Have you created your own template?

To create a very basic custom template (you can build from there), you need:

• includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

Anywhere you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder, the /template_default/ folder or the parent folder.

Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.

How can I create my own template? I am a totally newbie in this field. It would be nice if there are some free simple ones for me to download to get started...

I don't have dreamweaver/frontpage installed in my machine right now...

[afo]

There are free templates available in the downloads section of this site. There's a link at the top of the page. You can see them in action at http://(sorry, site offline)/.

You don't need dreamweaver or frontpage to create a template. You need a copy of Zen Cart unzipped on your local computer, a good text editor like NotePad++ or Crimson Editor and an FTP client like SmartFTP or Filezilla. You can use the list I posted as a guide.

Thanks a lot for your message. I have checked out a few of them. However, they still got the big zen log in the bottom. How can I get rid of that?

If you're referring to the copyright message, it's:

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=42

I also suggest you stop what you're doing and start from the beginning reading the FAQ page before you do something you shouldn't do to your cart and have to start over.

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php

If you're not referring to copyright, but one of the banners, then by going through the FAQs that will help you too.

OR, you can buy the e-Start book (links all over the ZC forum for it) because it will walk you through the set-up process.

That would be the banner at the bottom of the page which can be managed at admin>tools>banner manager in combination with admin>configuration>layout setting>Banner Display Groups - Header Position 1
Banner Display Groups - Header Position 2
Banner Display Groups - Header Position 3
Banner Display Groups - Footer Position 1
Banner Display Groups - Footer Position 2
Banner Display Groups - Footer Position 3
Banner Display Groups - Side Box banner_box
Banner Display Groups - Side Box banner_box2
Banner Display Group - Side Box banner_box_all

The "Log" of which you speak is footer position 3

[sunzhoujian]

Thanks a lot for that!

BTW, how can I get rid of the one in the head? I couldn't do that after disabled all those banners...

Do I have to disable that from the code?

[sunzhoujian]

Please take a look at my site. It is in Chinese version right now.

http://www.nanningsigma.com. You can see the zen cart logo is still there. I have been keeping that for days, I hope that I can remove that to spare spaces for stuff...

Thanks a lot for your attention and understanding!

[sunzhoujian]

Thanks a lot for the reminder. And I am reading those articles to make the change.
