logo display

i thought this was easy peasy but.... it isn't working.

My set is multilingual and i want to show a different logo.gif for each language.

I thought this would be done by naming the logo.gif differently in the language/header.php file.

So i changed the logo.gif into logode.gif logonl.gif etc and uploaded the pictures and teh adjusted header.php files.

BUT.... nothing happened it is still showing the original logo.gif file,

Ho wcan i make this work?

Thanks

Read this file first:

includes/ templates/ template_default/ css/ CSS_read_me.txt

This is a core file, so if you are using the override system place in your_template/ css

Fundamentally, the approach you have taken sounds logical.

Are you sure that your site actually displays logo.gif ... and not just header_bg.gif? (Some people configure the background image to be the site "logo".)

Haredo's suggestion that you could control this via language-specific stylesheets alse seems plausible...

read that too, and still can not figure out how to get it to work.

I have a german_stylesheet.css and for all the other languages as well.

and inlcuded this:
#headerpic img{
image: url("../images/logode.gif");
display: block;
}

but this is not working

I think i actually use the logo.gif. Cause when i deleted mine the classic logo.gif was shown and that is the small zen-cart logo pic.

ok, just discovered something.

When i change my tenplate to the classic template, the logo is actually doing what i want it to do.
It changes to the logo that goes with the language you choose.

But in my custom template it is not working.

why o why??:wacko:

ok, i have now seen that when i choose the classic template. The images are pulled from the classic/images file.

However when i choose my custom template, the images are pulled from the template_default/images file.

i am oing crazy, not sure why this happens.

Cause i have the images in the custom/images file

ok in my custom template i found the following

template/custom/common/tpl_header.php

I found the following line:

<a href="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ?>"><?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE.'images/logo.gif'); ?></a>

When i deleted this, it also deleted my logo image. So this def. has something to do with it. It is for sure the reason why it keeps showing the logo.gif But how would i work my way around this.?

SOLVED :clap:

I change the lien above with:

( as written in the default template )

I'll bet a $10 donation to the Dev team that the template was either from TemplateMonster or Algozone !

you just donated $10,- cause it is zenflavour template :)

:smile: Donation will duly be made !

Here it is...

SOLVED :clap:

I change the lien above with:

<?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?>

( as written in the default template )

Without hacking into core files your problem is best solved by:

1. creating a new image file for each language ie logode.gif (for german), logoesp.gif (for spanish), logofr.gif (for french) etc

2. place all of these images into your image folder includes/templates/your_template/images

3. open header.php in includes/languages/german/your_template and find define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif'); then change logo.gif to logode.gif

4. open header.php in includes/languages/spanish/your_template and find define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif'); then change logo.gif to logoesp.gif

5. open header.php in includes/languages/french/your_template and find define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif'); then change logo.gif to logofr.gif

6. next language ......

I would suggest to reverse your core file edit and use the above approach.

Here it is...

I love it when people stick to their words :yes::yes:

Frank, thats how i originally did it.
But because of the code in the tpl_header it would automaticly use the logo.gif that was the issue.

By changing that code somewhat back to the original code got it to work for me.

YEAH:clap: i think the donation is highly apreciated.

Yep, that's the way. At least someone else may benefit from our exchange in this thread when they attempt to do something similar :D
