Changing and removing images...

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!

Re: Changing and removing images...

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,

Anne

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

Re: Changing and removing images...

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?

Re: Changing and removing images...

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?

Re: Changing and removing images...

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.

Re: Changing and removing images...

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!

Re: Changing and removing images...

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/index.php?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.:blush:
