Editing the logos and other things

I am trying to change the top logo, or get rid of the top logo that comes with the cart, i deleted the pic, but the link, Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce. is still there of course, so do i edit that in the css sheet or what? thanks for the time and help, i know i am new to all this, sorry

Start with the FAQ link above. There is a large section on Customizing the Catalog.

You'll find it (the text and link) appears in quite a few places including the email files. Pay to do a search for code "powered by zen" and anything else you want to change.. (dreamweaver, etc is pretty good at finding it all).

thank you, i was trying what the faq said, but it wasn't working for me, i will try that

i can't get it to work, :down: you can check it out at https://www.skinevo.com, it will load up in japanese, but if you want english, pust the flag

look in includes -> languages -> English/Japanese -> YOURTEMPLATE -> header.php

find these lines:

define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'make changes here');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'make changes here');

make your changes to the portions in red. either leave them blank or add your own text.

Do you mean the meta names?

You can just edit the includes/languages/english(japanese)/your_template/meta_tags.php.

But again if you do a search for the code only (say for "The Art of E-commerce") no quotation marks, plus your search needs to ignore white space, it should yield all the occurances of what ever it is you need to change.

I will try that stuff, but I am not sure how to search all the files at once, I use dreamweaver and the php files don't even show up.

Try just opening dreamweaver, using site manager create the site if you haven't already (though you don't even need to do that), and without opening any pages type cntl f, select find in folder, browse to folder, put your words into the find box (eg Powered by), check ignore white spaces, don't put anything into the replace box and do the search. if you find hundreds of hits, you need to refine the search..

One more thing, I wouldn't use dreamweaver to edit the code, you should use something like notebook2, a pretty decent bit of freeware.

Thanks, i had no idea i could do that, i will try that after work, that should make things go a lot better.:thumbsup:

Got it worked out, it was not the header.php it was in includes\templates\template_default\common\ and it was the tpl_header.php file:thumbsup:

Actually, in ver 1.2+

define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'make changes here');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'make changes here');

was in the header.php file. In ver 1.3+ it has been moved to includes\languages\english\meta_tags.php. The tpl_header.php file only calls the "tagline" variable from the meta_tags.php define.

You should copy the meta_tags.php file into includes\languages\english\MY_TEMPLATE\ and then edit that file. If you have edited the tpl_header.php file you will need restore a clean copy so this will work properly.

While your current editing will likely work for now, as soon as you run an upgrade or patch that overwrites tpl_header.php, the changes will be lost.

Also, you can do the same search with admin > tools > developer's toolkit. Enter the term in lower left box and seleect all files then search.
