In order to be able to help you we need to know a little more about what your have done. This rather looks to me as though you may have mixed program files from a fairly old version of Zen Cart with the language files from a newer version. With the result that some of the definition statements expected by the older program files have either been moved and renamed, or no longer exist at all.

If you're not sure what you've done, then a quick fix for the specific problems on the page you showed would be to edit your english.php file to add something like

define('SUBMIT_BUTTON_ADD_PRODUCTS_TO_CART', 'Add:');
define('TEXT_PRODUCT_LISTING_MULTIPLE_ADD_TO_CART', 'Add Selected Products to Cart');

kuroi:

thanks for the reply,
i havent done anything this is the version of zen-cart the provider im using has. should i see if they can upgrade it?

When I looked earlier, you appeared to be running Zen Cart 1.2.7d. Amazingly there are still a small number of hosts who offer that despite there having been 5 releases since then offering literally hundreds of security updates, bug fixes and enhancements.

However, your site has changed rather radically in the past few hours and you now seem to be running with the latest version of Zen Cart, though it looks like a fresh start rather than an upgrade. Does this mean that your question is now closed?

hey - you are QUICK i was just about to post here.
I contacted the provider and they said i could blow away what i had and install the latest version myself, which i just did.
If you saw it you no doubt noticed the errors on the main screen? I checked and those files are where they are supposed to be what did i miss?

also is there a way to get the color scheme back to that old version? It matched my logo well.

thanks,
ed

(are you on AIM by anychance?)

i think the permission changes didnt stick so im going to blow it all away and try it one more time and then see what happens

ed

I didn't see the main page, because I came in at the link you posted earlier which goes straight past that.

I've seen it now though and don't think that this is about permissions. It look more like the upload hasn't been completely successful. I'd re-upload but keep a careful eye on your FTP error for any failures that need to be re-uploaded.

(I'm not sure what AIM is, so the answer to your question is most likely no)

If AIM is AOL Instant Messanger - then certainly not :smile:

kuroi -
how bout MSN or Yahoo Messenger? I didnt realize you were in UK isnt AOL/AIM not the chat client of choice haha.

anyway i deleted everything and reuploaded and carefully made sure all the errors in the install (those first few screens ) screens, and it seemed to work.

i do have a new problem (take a look www.walkerindianrivergroves.com/zencart)
the old zencart scaled my logo perfectly. now it doesnt i tried changed the height and width?

any suggestions?

thanks,
ed

Adjust your logo size in the file at:
includes\languages\english<your template>\header.php
define(HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '<your value here px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', 'your value here px');

i did that.
there are two headeer files
the one under "classic" seems to be the one that works when i changed it to my logo instead of default but change the height and width doesnt help?

thanks
ed

The current width is set at 800. Change it to 750, save the file to your server and write back.

what file do i change that in, the headers.php i looked at didnt say that and i did a search with the developer tools and couldnt find it?

thanks,
ed

Look above at my post at 8:36. It shows what file.

ok again:
i must be missing something:

there is a header.php in
walkerindianrivergroves.com/httpdocs/zencart/includes/languages/english
and then one here (this particular one seems to be the one that load our logo)
:
walkerindianrivergroves.com/httpdocs/zencart/includes/languages/english/classic/

ive changed the settings in both and the logo is still huge.

also is ther ea way to get the old orange color back for this template?

thanks
ed

no suggestions on how to fix this?

i looked and changed the two header.php files i could find and it still has my logo totally out of adjustment and the catalog listed across the top (is there a way to turn that off) changing the pts does nothing.

any ideas?

Did you add your own code for the header file named walker_logo.jpg?

Hi Ed

ewalker3:

no suggestions on how to fix this?Three suggestions. The one that stagebrace has been suggesting, executed properly, will work, so there must be something wrong with the execution. However, it would be my personally least preferred. Let's go through them and see why.

Suggestion 1: If you image is too large, get out your image editing software and make it the size you want it to be.

Suggestion 2: As suggested by stagebrace adjust the html settings for width & height your header file. Your header file is the one in walkerindianrivergroves.com/httpdocs/zencart/includes/languages/english/classic/ however, this is not a good idea. I'll come back to this in a moment. I can see no evidence on your site of this having been edited. Are you sure that you re-uploaded your changed file to the right place? To what did you change the values?

Suggestion 3: Make your site wider. You could do this by altering making the following changes in your walkerindianrivergroves.com/httpdocs/zencart/includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css file> #mainWrapper {

background-color: #ffffff;
text-align: left;
width: 750px; <--- change to 800px
vertical-align: top;
border: 1px solid #9a9a9a;

}

Option 1, getting your image sizes right for your site, is the best option. There are no downsides. Option 2, has several downsides. Your visitors will have to download a larger image than necessary to see your header and you are at the mercy of the browsers as to the quality of the image that they produce (image editing software is much better at downsizing images) and your pages will take slightly longer to load while the browser does the downsizing. As your image is 800px wide, Option 3 would result in a site just a little too wide to display on an 800px wide screen.

You are using the classic template directory for your files, but this is not a good idea. You will undoubtedly have fallen into doing so by simply editing the default template that comes with Zen Cart. Why is this not a good? Well these are standard files in Zen Cart, so next time you upgrade, some of them will be overwritten and your changes will be lost. You should create your own template, even if you start it by simply copying the files from the classic directory. There is more in the FAQ on how to do this.

Indeed, this is why your orange color was lost. I agree that it went very well with your logo. However, it was lost when you switched to the current version of Zen Cart and your classic/images/tile_back.gif file was overwritten with the current green version. If you send me a personal message via the forum with you email address, I'll email you the orange version.

thanks for the suggestions - im going to blow what i did away
upload zencart again.

once i do that - i make another directory under templates and copy the classic files there and then specifc to use that direectory?

also - with my image, on the old zen it scaled just fine without me changing the width etc? i wish i could get it to work like that.

thanks,
ed

Your question on how to tell Zen Cart to use the new template can be found using this link.

If you need help on scaling your picture I will do that for you. Just attach it to your next post.
