Unable to get Company Logo Visble
Being a total NEWBIE - more than likely this is a silly question ?
Just bought Crystal Blue Skin for 4.0.11 - completed install exactly as per readme file below
Install went fine - demo company name displayed AOK (this was in swf file format)
I changed the "company_name.swf" file to a newly created "company_name.jpg" file and uploaded it as per instructions
Only found two instances of "company_name.swf" in head.tpl to change !!!
- but it now displays nothing for the company_name ???
All the correct files seem to be in the right place -checked them 3 times tonight.
I am not even sure about the jpg file will work within this template
Or does it have to be a swf file and if so what size should it be ???
I am running Xcart 4.0.11
All suggestions appreciated
Regards

'CRYSTAL BLUE' SKIN
===================
This file provides information about the installation and configuring of 'Crystal Blue' skin.
Please make sure the version of the skin distributive corresponds to the version of X-Cart.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=========================
To install the skin, follow the steps below:
1. Unpack this distributive and copy the files from 'xcart' directory to the directory where your X-Cart is installed.
2. Run the installation script (install.php) in your browser:
http://<your_xcart_domain>/install.php
3. Enter the authorization code and select the option 'Re-install skin files' at the first step.
If you do not remember your authorization code, you can find it in include/install.php file as the value of $installation_auth_code variable.
4. Select 'crystal blue' skin from the 'Layout' dropdown box (do not change the other options) and click the 'Next' button.
5. After the skin files are successfully copied, you will see a frame showing the new X-Cart skin. You may have to click on the 'Click to refresh' link to see the proper layout.
6. Click the 'Next' button to complete the installation.
CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
==========================
To replace the logo with the one of your own:
1. Create a new company logo. It must be a JPG graphic file or an SWF movie file (Macromedia Flash movie).
2. Save the logo file as 'company_name.jpg' or 'company_name.swf'.
3. Go to X-Cart Admin area.
4. Click on 'Edit templates' in the Administration menu, the 'Browse templates' form will appear.
5. Click on 'images' directory, then click on the 'custom' one.
6. Select the 'Rewrite file if exists' check box near the 'Upload' subsection.
7. In the 'Upload' subsection click on 'Browse', and locate the image file which contains the new company logo.
8. Click the 'Upload' button.
9. If the file you have uploaded is named other than "company_name.swf", you need to modify the "head.tpl" template:
9.1. Click on 'Edit templates' in the Administration menu, then find the file 'head.tpl' and click on it.
9.2. Find all the occurencies of the "company_name.swf" substring in this template and replace them with your file name.
9.3. Click the 'Save' button to save the changes.
10. Open the browser window with the customer front end and make sure the new logo appears at the top of the page. You may have to clear the browser cache to apply the changes.
