jpeabody Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Hi everyone, I have read the posts on how to fix images by setting the image width to 0 and to make sure "calculate image size" is "true" but my images still are deformed and my store logo has never appeared. I know where to find them in the includes/header.php file and have tried to change them with no change. Both on the store and on the admin pages. Any suggestions? A few other things I've noticed: The "Building a Template Layout" in the dashboard talks about catalog/includes/template_top.php, _bottom.php and I do not have any template files in my oscommerce-2.2rc2a zip that I downloaded and then of course I do not have those in my uploaded catalog. Also freeoscommerce has been hijacked??
knifeman Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Hi everyone, I have read the posts on how to fix images by setting the image width to 0 You should set the width, or the height, to blank not zero. Setting it to zero causes it to be very very skinny. Leaving the box empty will allow the image to resize proportionally. Tim
germ Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Image problems (not showing or deformed) can also be caused if you FTP the images in the wrong mode. Images files are binary and must be FTP'd to the server in BINARY mode. PHP/CSS/HTML files are text files and should be FTP'd in TEXT or ASCII mode. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

The only time you have template top and bottom is if you have already installed addons that create a template system.. crumb trail = Dashboard > osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 > Catalog (Frontend) > Template Layout and Header Tags Template Layout and Header Tags A basic template layout structure has been introduced in osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 to simplify the process of customizing the design of the catalog frontend. Building the Template Layout Header and Meta Tag Modules Building the Template Layout The template design layout is defined in catalog/includes/template_top.php and catalog/includes/template_bottom.php, with the page content existing in the base catalog files. Thank you for the quick response. I will stop worrying about the missing template files. For the other 2 who responded to my questions also thank you for taking the time to help me. I will respond as soon as I see if either of the solutions work.
lindsayanng Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Did you not download this from the oscommerce site?? Where did you get this version.. its definitely not the standard version.. If i were you i WOULD be worried about the lack of the files and/or the presence of that language.. because it is not default for 2.2 STOCK install A great place for newbies to start Road Map to oscommerce File Structure DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP.

I was going with your first assessment that I have to download a template to find these files. Thanks, Joe
lindsayanng Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Ohh wow.. Ok, the "dashboard' Is just the new documentation dashboard, not your actual website's cart dashboad.. the introduction of the layout and template editor is on 3.0, NOT the version you have.. 3.0 is still very unstable and not for product use.

The .png store_logo. I never would of thought I needed to change that to a .gif but it popped right up! Hope this helps someone else in the future.
lindsayanng Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 You CAN use a .png if you change the code to call for a .png..
