Change logo in Admin area

[vivesystems]

Hi everyone!

Thanks for the many answers I already found in the forum. I got myself used to the template customization and using the Developer Tool to lookup things.

I just installed a clean 1.3.8a. And I am trying to change a few things. But the help about them is mostly when it comes to the customer side. Both my questions are for the admin area.

1. (a favorite) How do I change the logo in the ADMIN area. (yes, I did use the search)

2. How do I remove / replace Support Site link on top?

What I have found on 1:
admin/includes/languages/english.php is the place to change the logo, but when I upload my english.php to admin/includes/languages/(My Template Name)/english.php it does not pick it up... Seems it does not work for footer.php either.

What I have found on 2:
The text "Support Site" is in two files and the lines start with DEFINE but customizing them and putting them in a folder below the one where the originals were called (My Template Name) does not seem to make a change.


Thanks for your help in advance,
V

1. Easiest solution... Just make a new logo and name it logo.gif then find ../admin/images/logo.gif and replace logo.gif with your new logo and your done!

Well I thought I could change the logo the "nice" way through the overrides as I did in the customer area.

Still can't find a way to get the "Support Link" in the header of the ADMIN area to go anything different so any input on this is appreciated...

[vivesystems]

OK. This was in the FAQ... overlooked it somehow. No overrides in admin area.

Now the only question left would be how to change/delete the support site link in the header part of the admin area.

Ok try this:

Navigate to ../admin/includes/header.php and search for

<a href="http://www.zen-cart.com/" class="headerLink" target="_blank">' . HEADER_TITLE_SUPPORT_SITE . '</a>

It should be around Line 230. Change the http://www.zen-cart.com/ to the site you want.


To DELETE that link all together I Believe you would delete this chunk of code completely:

<a href="http://www.zen-cart.com/" class="headerLink" target="_blank">' . HEADER_TITLE_SUPPORT_SITE . '</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;

But make sure to include the ending &nbsp;|&nbsp; or you'll have double the spaces between the remaining links.
Again, I didn't try this but I'm pretty sure that should work for you.
