can't change logo, no custom file found

Logo problem

After updating from 1.3.8 to 1.3.9e & my database patch level, lost my logo , got zen cart logo.

To change logo steps say:

Using an image editor, create your new logo and save it to includes/templates/CUSTOM/images/your_image_name.??? and upload it to your server.

The problem is there is NO CUSTOM folder under templates, only “classic” & template_default

Found an “images” folder under “classic” with a logo.gif (this looks like the same logo.gif on 1st page when downloaded an opened) and I replaced it with my own, no luck?

Thank you for your help.

to make it simple
right click on the zen-cart logo a see the image location,
override that file with your logo. make sure that the file format is GIF,

by default it is
(includes/templates/classic/images/logo.gif)

the better way to do this is
open the
includes/languages/english/classic/header.php

look for

define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

and do the changes, you can use any file and any name and any format(jpg, gif, png etc.)

if you look right above that line of code, you will see the alt-text for the logo and some other useful stuff

remember BACKUP before changing anything

G'luck :)

Thank you, got logo up. Now I can’t find:

includes/templates/CUSTOM/css/stylesheet.css

to edit logo. Again no custom folder.

Did find a css folder here:

includes/templates/ template_default /css/stylesheet.css

Could not edit from there.

Did also find a css folder here:

includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css

Could not edit from there.

Thank you for your help

The CUSTOM refers to a custom template which you need to create (https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=142). You'll also create all the necessary CUSTOM folders.

Thank you, Yes, I realize this. The tutorials tell you to edit the "custom" folder. I have not made any custom folders. So, where is the file to edit the code on the 1st page... "Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution."

I have looked in every folder and file and, so far have not found it. The tutorials must be out dated, the information is wrong.

thank you for any held.

The location of that text has not changed in years. All output text is defined in language files (to allow multiple languages to be used), and the Developers Toolkit in admin > Tools is the best way to find it. Paste a distinctive word or phrase in the bottom left box, select all files and search. Among the results will be the file and line number where it is defined. Edit the file and save it to a /custom/ folder, following the tutorials on templates and overrides.

Thank for your help and insight, it worked. Your years of experiance is greatly appreciated. I am new to Zen cart with only a few days of experiance working with Zen. Just went live, still have much to learn. Thanks again. :o)

Thanks for any help.

Problem is backing up Database on existing Zen cart and copying to new Zen Cart

Tutorial states you can do this through you admin page. I can not find any"database" drop down on the admin as stated in the tutorial?
