Attempting To Add Custom Header Logo...

[smartster1983]

Hello again.

Thanks to everyone who helped with my previous issue. Unfortunately i'm completely stuck again.

I've had a custom header created for my website. I'm want to now add it to the header, but i've no idea how to even start.

I'm totally confused by the FAQ explanation. In the tutorial in this tutorial (https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=124) it says i need to make changes to this (includes/templates/CUSTOM/images/your_header_image.???.) path. But i can't even find it.

I'm using Filezilla and i'm totally baffled yet again.

Can anyone give help???? I'd just like a fool proof run-through of exactly what i need to do....

assuming you have override done. then your background image should be uploaded to

includes/templates/YOUR_COSTUME_TEMPLATE/images folder

then follow the rest of that tutorial on how to modify your stylesheet.css .

your_header_image in tutorial refers to your background image name ie : mybackground.jpg

Override? This is where it all starts to go over my head. I have no idea what that means...!!

I tried to remove the header_bg.jpg file and upload my .jpg file, but it made no difference to my site.

And, in your case, YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE would be replaced with comstock. That the custom directory for the comstock template you are using.

BTW do your customers really need three months notice that the site will be under maintenance? Sure messes with the look of the site until then.

Oh okay, that makes a LOT of sense. I forgot that my custom template would now be comstock.

Ha ha, I'm from the UK, so our date is different to yours. in the UK it shows as 06.03.09 (6th March 2009).

I'm gona try and amend the comstock file and see what happens.

Okay i'm looking at: /public_html/includes/templates/comstock/css

I've amended the stylesheet.css file. It now reads:

#logoWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
width: 907px;
height:100px;
background: #f2f2f2;/* url(../images/smokinlaces.jpg) no-repeat;*/
position: relative;

- Is this correct? It hasn't made any difference to my site. The web address is www.smokinlaces.com

If you are trying to add a background image, this will not add and image as it is enclosed with /*blah blah*/

If you are replacing the existing header backgound image, you would just replace it in the files. Unless you have made size changes, there should be no need to touch the css.

All i wana do is upload my logo so that its in the space at the top of my site. That's it. I've been trying to do it for over a day now and nothing's worked.

I've read the FAQ's/Tutorials and all the associated forum threads, but i still can't do it.

I just don't understand what i need to do, but i'm pretty sure it'll be something real simple....

IF the name of the image you want in the header background is

smokingplaces.jpg

Then upload it to the www.smokingplaces/images directory.
Netxt go back to

#logoWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
width: 907px;
height:100px;
background: #f2f2f2;/* url(../images/smokinlaces.jpg) no-repeat;*/
position: relative;

and change it to

#logoWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
width: 907px;
height:100px;
background: #f2f2f2; url(../images/smokinlaces.jpg) no-repeat;
position: relative;

what you need to do is change the logo.gif to smokinlaces.jpg in the includes/languages/english/comstock/header.php file Your image is already in the includes/templates/comstock/images folder so this should do it for you.

/ added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '424px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '155px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'smokinlaces.jpg');
