editing templates
 

Help
I have checked to make sure $admin_safe_mode is set to false but I still cannot edit the logo templates. What do I need to change to allow me to edit the templates.

Re: editing templates
 

You need to make sure the templates are writable (666). You can change permissions via your hosting control panel, or via FTP. It is actually better to edit them via FTP anyway, as there is an undo there :)

Moving to the Template Editing forum.

hmm still not working once I made x-cart writable. any other ideas?

Re: editing templates
 

Can you be more specific about what exactly isn't working?

Re: editing templates
 

This section allows you to edit the templates from which you store is built. As the templates engine is very flexible and extremely configurable, you may change the look and feel of your store so that it will fit any design layout.

I have made sure that the admin safe mode is set to false and made the templates writeable by changing them to 666.

Re: editing templates
 

That is an image file - you will need to upload a new one with ftp rather than try and edit it.

Okay off to try that. Thank you!

I am also using the mosaic skin pink. Got the same problem, too.
All images files are in the right folders.

I have tried to use my own images file instead of xcart's existing ones. They weren't showing up. The image files (including the company logo) were BLANK!


WHAT'S GOING ON??? IS THIS V4.4.1 a working version????

Re: editing templates
 

now the logo is just blank!

Re: editing templates
 

If you post a link, we might be able to see what is wrong.

You can also try putting the link in a browser to see if you can see the image.

For example - the one you posted above in post #5 above would be here:
www.your-xcart-path/skin/fashion_mosaic_green/images/fashion_mosaic/company_logo.gif

If it is blank in the browser independent of x-cart - something is probably wrong with the image you uploaded. If you can see it, something else is going on.

Just tried to put the image url in the browser https://www.yourstore.com/skin/common_files/images/PA_xmas_Logo_228x50.jpg, the image is visible, BUT...
when try to load the home page, the logo is just (missing) blank but the rest of the page load just fine (well, other images didn't show either).

There are another issue with the import/export...I had to close my store to fix this. I think I will just switch back to the old version.

CAN'T STAND this XCART frustration....

By the way, this is brand new installation with new data base.

Re: editing templates
 

I'm not familiar with the template - but maybe you modified what they were doing to display the logo? This is in your css - so it is turning display of the logo off:

in this file: /skin/fashion_mosaic_pink/css/altskin.css



You can use firebug to see the css.

Re: editing templates
 

Oooh, thank you for the help.
now it's working.
Had to reload the image file.
Here's the part of the css. I replaced the company logo.gif with mine.


{
display: block;
width: 228px;
height: 50px;
background: transparent url(../images/fashion_mosaic/PA_xmas_Logo_228x50.jpg) no-repeat left top;
}
#header .line1 .logo img {
display: none;
