hi my shop header is in my templates folder in 'images' and i have created a new one and i will upload it shortly via my file manager but my question is because the new file has different dimensions how do i locate the 'index.php' file via my cart so i can edit the dimension settings? also i am creating a .swf banner and i would shortly like to add this as well do i just add the normal flash 'object' code or do i have to add something extra?

 

any help would be appreciated, many thanks

I'd edit the new image to be the same dimensions as the current one and upload it as the same name.

 

In that way there is no need to change anything.

 

But this article should help.

hi

 

well the main reason to change the header is its not wide enough so the dimension will have to change to accomodate the wider header? i've just looked at the link but theres no referrence to changing dimensions? i'm familiar with html code and i know how to change dimensions but i'm not sure where the homepage of the store is located to edit the html in question? once i can locate that i'll be fine? can you help me find it as once found then i can edit it and upload the new header via my file manager? thanks again

ah yes i realise keeping the same name is important as its a direct replacement via upload but my concern is the dimension changes? will the cart resize it automatically?

hi geoffrey

 

ok i think i understand what needs to be edited but i'm not sure which .php file to edit? for the dimension changes for the new header? when i view the index page code i can see where the header is located and its dimensions but i'm not sure which .php file to download and edit in dreamweaver?

 

i look forward to your advice geoffrey

 

best regards
