Need Help Removing Logo.Gif and "Sales Message Goes Here"

[AmandaNoelle82]

Hello,

I'd like to totally remove logo.gif and the "Sale Message Goes Here" line in the Classic template. I've looked in the FAQ and tried Googling, but I haven't anything that's helped me remove it. All I want is the header image at top.

1) Which PHP file is this located in?
2) Which code do I remove?

Thank you in advance for your help. I'm new to PHP and trying to chug along.

/includes/languages/english/classic/header.php — Line: 22

define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<h1>Sales Message Goes Here</h1>');

Remove "<h1>Sales Message Goes Here</h1>"

Just below it is the logo and header part:

define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '200px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '70px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

Either change the logo image or remove it completely. But since you want a full width header image on top, just replace logo.gif with your header image and change the sizes below and you're set.

Nimbuz,

No such luck. Here's the page: http://www.greathealthytreats.com/store

And here's the current header.php code I have:

<?php
/**
 * @package languageDefines
 * @copyright Copyright 2003-2006 Zen Cart Development Team
 * @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
 * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
 * @version $Id: header.php 2940 2006-02-02 04:29:05Z drbyte $
 */

// header text in includes/header.php
  define('HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT', 'Create Account');
  define('HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT', 'My Account');
  define('HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS', 'Shopping Cart');
  define('HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT', 'Checkout');
  define('HEADER_TITLE_TOP', 'Top');
  define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Home');
  define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF', 'Log Out');
  define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN', 'Log In');

// added defines for header alt and text
  define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '760px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '110px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'header_bg.jpg');



// header Search Button/Box Search Button
  define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search');
  define('HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'Enter search keywords here');

?>

If I remove logo.gif, I get the default Zen Cart logo in its place. I just want to remove that and the line "Sales Message Goes Here" completely.

You mean you replaced:

define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<h1>Sales Message Goes Here</h1>');

with:

define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');

in /includes/languages/english/classic/header.php — Line: 22, and the text still won't go?

Noway. I just verified this locally and text does disappear for me. You might want to try again and see if you aren't missing something?

[Nimbuz]

Lemme if it doesn't work still (would be shocking though), there's another workaround to this using CSS.

Ok, just noticed I was editing the wrong header.php file (I didn't realize this one was by its lonesome). Now, the header image does not fit in correctly (runs off side), but I'm sure I can figure that one out.

Thanks for all of your help!

Thanks this helped, wonder why this page is separate from the other classic folder? Just a little confusing. No reply necessary. Came what I was looking for from this thread.

If you edit the files in the classic folders, all your changes will be overwritten with the next upgrade/update. You should create your own custom template, copy the files into those folders and make your changes there.

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/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.

Will the zen script automatically read from my template folder?

[jasperguy]

Okay, I have created the new folders, this is my settings for the header, but I still get a "no image" in my header.

// added defines for header alt and text

// define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', '<a href="http://jollyworks.ab.ca>Back to Jollyworks home" </a>');

 define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<h2>Jollyworks Online Shopping</h2>');

// define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '200px');

// define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '70px');

// define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

Do I have to remove the lines or can commenting out do the trick?
