Changing and removing images...

[Amy Chomas]

I'm finally up and running, using version 1.3.9.
I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out, and looked for tutorials on, getting rid of or changing these 3 things, but I'm lost! If anyone knows, that would be awesome!

#2 and #3...

admin panel/ tools/ define pages editor/ drop down box choose/ define_main_page.php

Number one is the logo. To add your own logo:

Create your logo in your favorite image editing program and upload it to includes/templates/your-custom-template-directory/images/logo.gif.


2 & 3 you will edit the define_main_page.php via the admin --tools--define pages editor

Thanks,

looks like something was "adjusted" prior to this image as you have the admin logo sitting on the cart home page.

My daughter has snagged my computer with all my log in info, so I'm going to play with this tomorrow more.
DBLtoe, I don't understand what you mean?

[Amy Chomas]

Ok, I'm in there, and I have the included/templates, but there is no your custom templates in there, just
classic
css
images
template default

And for the 2 & 3, I did change that, it was gone, and it came back. Now it doesn't show it here... 2 & 3 you will edit the define_main_page.php via the admin --tools--define pages editor. All it shows is welcome to Chomas Creations.

Ok, I'm thinking I need to change some settings? I had built the page on the IP address, and I wanted to move it. But when I login t zen cart, I'm still logging into the IP address URL. How do I change that? Is it supposed to be amychomas.com at the top of the log in page for zen cart?



Any other ideas?

You need to get your template system fixed before going much further.
Viewing your page source shows

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/./css/stylesheet.css" />

which should have either classic/ (not recommended) or some custom name (like amyC/) after the templates/ instead of just a DOT/. This is messing with finding the right files and the sideboxes.
Download the Overrides Chart and visit the tutorial on overrides. You should have a directory wherever the chart shows "custom(your_template)*" and then follow the tutorial to switch to the custom template you created directories for.
Once everything is in it's rightful place, you can move forward.

Oh boy, I"m completely lost now. I had hired someone to do this for me, and she gave up, leaving it in my hands, and won't answer my emails. So I'm pretty much clueless. I'm suprised I have gotten this far!!!
Is there an easier way to describe what you just said? Sorry to be such a pain!

Start by downloading and printing the chart. I have it close by at all times.
Decide what name you want for your custom template. Choose something that is not a dictionary word but one that you would remember like amyC.
Following the chart, create a custom (amyC) folder wherever you see custom on the chart. You can do this in the file manager of a cpanel or with a good FTP program like Filezilla.
Once you've done that, go to https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=142 and follow the steps to create folders/files inside the includes/templates/custom(or amyC) folder.
When you are through, go to the admin >> tools >> Layout boxes and reset them for the new template.
Now you'll have a basis to start working.
Don't worry about funny looking colors or boxes you don't want. You can easily fix those AFTER getting the foundation correct.

Should have been

When you are through, go to the admin >> tools >> template and select you new template
Then admin >> tools >> Layout boxes and reset them for the new template.

that's why I don't like a mouse pad on a laptop.
