I Need Desperate Assistance..please

[Can't Figure It Out]

I am in desperate truble. I am building a cart for my boss and he wants the logo changed from ZenCart to Our logo - I have gone through the forums and found the same question but do not undertand what it is saying for answers. I am using bluehost as my host, I am assuming I can't do this through my zencart admin. Please anyone if they have a minute to walk me through this.

You need to create your own template and upload the image you want to use as the logo. It sounds more complicated than it is.

For the time being, you can use the list below as a guideline. You don't necessarily have to change all the files, but try creating the folders and copying the files. Edit includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php to change the logo info.

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.

When changing php files, use a good text editor like Notepad+ or Crimson Editor. You'll need an FTP client to copy the changes to your website. Filezilla and SmartFTP are both good. All are free on the net.

Just a little concerned that you are struggling with such an elementary part of zencart (and websites generally).

Does your boss expect you to be in charge of the website - and are his expectations very high?

If you are struggling with relatively simple functions you may do well to tell your boss that you may need some outside help - (and the forum is part of that). But we can't do your job for you.

You may need to find a technical person to assist you for a while, until you are more familiar with the program.
