what did i do wrong with this

hello :)

So upon trying to remove the zen logo and sales message from the logo, i searched the forums and tutorials and thought i found the answer so i modified my tpl header to this

<-- <div id="logo"><?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>'; ?></div> -->

and i get <----> the left corner of my logo, no zen cart logo.

I still have the sales message goes here in gray. So I attempted to add the following:
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', ");'<h1>Sales Message Goes Here</h1>');
which i found on the forums. then when i upload it all to a test server in my office my site goes blank. So the site isn't live yet.

I don't know what i have done wrong :(

remove the <-- and the --> and you should be ok.

define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', ");'<h1>Sales Message Goes Here</h1>');

That looks wrong. See the end ) without the beginning ( ?

Take a look at the original file to see how that line was set up and compare it to what you have.

It is seldom that you would need to mess with a tpl_ file.

You can change the logo in the includes/languages/english.php file and the sales text in the includes/languages/english/header.php files. If you do not want to use any logo.gif, you can turn it off in the css.

Be sure to save the changes as includes/languages/CUSTOM/english.php and includes/languages/english/CUSTOM/header.php respectively in order to not lose the changes in an upgrade.

ok I see the problem the original code is :
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<h1>Sales Message Goes Here</h1>');

so upon a nice lil walk to think i came back and switched to
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');

I left in the single ' after the comma :(

as for my red arrows... well i use <-- instead of <!--

thank you

PS> Dbltoe I knew I took the long route! dang it ! :)

Glad you got it going. You're seeing why I have the sig.

now i have run into a problem where my logo has been cut off. according to my main_bg it is 10.556x1.528 inches and 72dpi.

current code looks like this.
// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce [home link]');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '200px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '64px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

I don't remember changing anything so any help would be appreciated in fixing this

Your image is 761x110 and the css is set to 75 for the height.

Around line 200 of your stylesheet, change the height: 75px; to height: 90px;

Adjust the 90 up or down to suit your needs.

Additionally, you don't really need the background-repeat: repeat-x; and can change it to /background-repeat: repeart-x;/ in case you may need it later.

As to the links and other css tweaks, make sure you have the new firefox3 with the new firebug addon. Couldn't do a thing without that addon:yes::yes:

ok I merely looked at the properties of the original logo and went from there, now i know to look via firebug..

As luck would have it I just d/l'd the ff3 today.

thank you !
