Change Links in Custom Logo/Header?

I had a custom logo/header installed on my site and now I need to be able to go into it and change the links. I have been into the stylesheet.css and the tpl_header.php and I don't know what to look for to get my links changed.:shocking:

I am trying to change my blog link so it will link to my blogspot rather than the one it is linked to currently.

Thanks!

Re: Change Links in Custom Logo/Header?

More than likely they are coded in the tpl_header.php - Hopefully your designer put it under includes/tempaltes/sweetwater.

Note: it has some extraneous code that will cause you problems. The parts in red should be removed - the CSS in the blue should be moved to your stylesheet

<td><html>

<head> <title>storeBody</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background-image: url(<http://www.sweetwaterlane.com/images/flowerBG.gif%29;> background-color: #FFFBFB; } --> </style></head> <body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <div align="center"> <!-- ImageReady Slices (storeBody.psd) --> <img src="http://www.sweetwaterlane.com/images/storeHeader.gif" width="824" height="256" border="0" usemap="#Map2"> <map name="Map2"><area shape="rect" coords="12,198,121,239" href="/gallery"> <area shape="rect" coords="130,196,236,241" href="http://www.sweetwaterlane.com/forum"> <area shape="rect" coords="242,195,348,242" href="http://www.sweetwaterlane.com/blog"> <area shape="rect" coords="357,195,466,237" href="http://www.sweetwaterlane.com/makemoney.html"> <area shape="rect" coords="476,194,584,240" href="http://www.sweetwaterlane.com/contest.html"> <area shape="rect" coords="591,195,699,239" href="http://www.sweetwaterlane.com/craftclub.html"> <area shape="rect" coords="708,194,819,239" href="http://www.sweetwaterlane.com/contactUs.html"><area shape="rect" coords="34,47,431,159" href="index.html"> </map> <!-- End ImageReady Slices --> </div> </body> </html></td> <!--eof-branding display-->

This is the current link to your blog. Change the href as you wish.

Re: Change Links in Custom Logo/Header?

Re: Change Links in Custom Logo/Header?

What is in your tpl_header.php?

Re: Change Links in Custom Logo/Header?

maybe I am in the wrong file. I went to
public_html
store
includes
templates
sweetwater
then there is a file called template_info.php and I assumed this was my tpl_header.php:huh:
Ok, maybe this is not it. WHERE IS IT??:shocking:
Going crazy here.

Thanks for all your help.

Re: Change Links in Custom Logo/Header?

It must be in another file.
What is in the <!--bof-branding display--> section of tpl_header.php? There is probably a require() or include() function that is calling the other file.

Look in /includes/templates/sweetwater/common/.

Re: Change Links in Custom Logo/Header?

I DID IT!!!!!:clap::clap::clap:

Thank you very much for pointing out where that was pointing to. Now the only thing I would like to learn is how to code it to open in a new window rather than in the same window, any ideas?

Thank you to both of you for helping!

Re: Change Links in Custom Logo/Header?

Yep, now you have to locate that file. It doesn't seem to be within your Zen Cart installation - are you really dependent on someone else's website for the existence of your header?

What do you want to open in a new window? The shop when you click the link in your splash page? The header display here has nothing to do with that. OK, you want your blog to open in a new window.
You need to have that file inside your Zen Cart folders to make any changes to it.

Re: Change Links in Custom Logo/Header?

So I got to the file where the header is located and changed my blog button to go to my blogspot but it opens in the same window and I would like when the blog button is clicked to open in a new window.

Re: Change Links in Custom Logo/Header?

Standard links use
target="blank"
to open in a new window. I haven't used image maps, but try this:

<area shape="rect" coords="242,195,348,242" href="http://www.sweetwaterlane.com/blog" target="blank">

Re: Change Links in Custom Logo/Header?

To answer an earlier question, I think the reason the header is set up that way is because it is the same header for my gallery and forum. However those links did not change when I changed it for my store :huh:. So I will try to figure that out now, yeah got to seek help for my forum and gallery now.

Thanks again!
