Guest Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Art, You do not have to alter the SQL database to change the banner. If you are changing your heading banner, alter the catalog>includes>header.php file (reference store_logo.png) If you want to change the footer banner, do so in the Admin panel under tools, banner manager.

Guest Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Art, If you are speaking about your HEADER, then you can either create a NEW HEADER banner and name it store_logo.png then upload it into the /images directory which will over-write the existing image.........OR, edit the catalog>includes>header.php file and change the file name from store_logo.png to whatever your file name is, THEN upload your new Header image to the /images directory.

Chris I have uploaded a banner to the banner manager but the banner doesn't display on the store front. Where can I find catalog>includes>header.php file? I have searched through my phpadmin. Where's store_logo.png? Can't locate it. Sorry if these are dumb quesitons and maybe I'm over my head here. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 OK, the banner you uploaded using banner manager is for the FOOTER. Not the header. You will need to upload your banner image using an FTP program. Then download and edit the catalog>includes>header.php file and change store_logo.png to yourimagename.jpg (whatever you named your banner). The upload the header.php back to your server.

Chris The banner I uploaded still doesn't display on the store front at the footer. Thanks for your help but it seems I'm way over my head with this oscommerce thing.

Guest Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Art, No the banner you uploaded probably will not display on the footer as the footer banner is restricted to 468x50 in size. Use your FTP program to add and modify files as I said above. If you did everything and still don't see the changes........hold ctrl and hit F5 to refresh your browser, sometimes browsers use the cached version instead of the new version.

Chris Chris, Thanks for your help but I'm going to drop this becuase it's over my head. I don't understand the FTP accounts listed in my cpanel. Thanks again.

Guest Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hi Art, I am sorry to hear that. Once you figure out the structure of OSC, it gets much easier. If you ask your host about using FTP to access your files, I am sure they can give you instructions and can get OSC running in no time at all. If you have any further questions, or need 'private support' please PM me. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
