bump!

This line:

 

<td valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce') . '</a>'; ?></td>

In that code, change oscommerce.gif to match whatever name your image is. Put your image in the images folder where the existing image is.

 

Change the word osCommerce to say whatever you want to be displayed on a "mouseover" (probably your store name?).

I'm bouncing back and forth between english.php and header.php with errors. If I change one, the other indicates an error.

Are there supposed to the '...' around the store name on either or both? If the store name is two words, can there be a space or do you need to use an underscore?

Or, is there a way that I can get the name to show without the underscore?

I'm hoping someone can get me going in the right direction, as I'm tired of going back and forth to figure this out.

[germ]

Are there supposed to the '...' around the store name on either or both?

There should be in this code.

 

Don't know what you mean by "both"?

:unsure:

[tcbconn]

:unsure:

both = header.php & english.php

 

I made the change in header.php on this line

<td valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce') . '</a>'; ?></td>

 

and I get an error for english.php (I think line 48?)

 

So, I try to make sure it reads the same, to no avail, as any changes then indicates an error on line 57 of header.php.

[tcbconn]

OK... I put an underscore in the name and got rid of the errors.

 

Now, the question remains... is there a way to use a store name with two words without using an underscore?

[germ]

Probably.

 

Post the code lines where you want to remove the under score, and I'll give my opinion.

;)

header.php on this line

<td valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', STORE_Name) . '</a>'; ?></td>

 

 

english.php on this line

// page title

define('TITLE', STORE_Name);

[germ]

You should be able to replace STORE_Name with something like:

 

'Store name'

In both places.

[tcbconn]

Well... I finally figured it out.

I don't understand why, but that's from trial and error... The apostrophe mark was not used in the osCommerce header.php or the english.php default.

 

The '...' marks are REQUIRED on both header.php & english.php around the 'Store Name'

The space wasn't the problem, IF you use the ' mark

 

Without the mark, it will only work with the underscore between the words.

 

Thanks Jim... I was posting when you were replying. You are CORRECT... IT Worked!

 

Thanks

Jim

(I hope I'm not talking to myself) :thumbsup:

Perhaps you might be able to explain what the Banner Manager is...

Of course, I was first trying to use this to change the osCommerce header banner, but it didn't do anything.

I uploaded another banner and I created a "text" banner, but nothing seems different on the web page.

So, I'm not sure what this is supposed to do.

[germ]

Well, you're not talking to yourself!

:lol:

 

Unfortunately, I've never used the banner manager so I'm useless there...

:blush:

:blush:

Well... that's certainly a relief... although I've been known to do so. Whew!

 

I doubt that I'll need the banner manager, as well. I suppose it has some use for someone. But, since it doesn't seem to control the header image, then that's all I was trying to accomplish in the first place.

 

Thanks again

Jim
