First please dont shout at me

I have looked thru the existing posts and have tried everything that people have said....

I want to a add my own logo to the top left where xlogo.gif currently is...

I can do this fine - simply replace the file with my own logo - but no matter what I do the image is squished...

I have tried changing the image dimensions and uploading again - no joy

I have tried changing the size in the head.tpl (both using the template editor and ftp in case that made a difference)

Nothing seems to change the image size

Am I being really dumb or is there a problem with xcart ?

[Yurij]

Show me that you changed in the code of the file "skin1/head.tpl" (for size logo)?

[nivag]

Hi Yurji...

I change the code near the top of the head.tpl file: the width and height and kept the filename the same as default xlogo.gif to make it easier...

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="HeadLogo"><a href="{$http_location}/"><img src="{$ImagesDir}/xlogo.gif" width="244" height="67" alt="" /></a></td>
<td class="HeadRightBox">
{if $usertype eq "C"}
{include file="customer/top_menu.tpl"}
{/if}
</td>
</tr>
</table>

SInce some browsers cache images, try renaming your file, upload it to /skin1/images and set the exact image size in the width="244" height="67" params.

better now?

This is getting even more weird - I changed the file to xlogo.jpg cleared all the cache etc - deleted the xlogo.gif file from the server - reloaded the site and the logo doesnt show, just a red x - checked its properties and says its still looking for the xlogo.gif file and at 290*68 pixels !

heres the entire head.tpl - hope I am missing something silly

[carpeperdiem]

do you have your smarty prefs in Smarty.class.php set to

var $compile_check = true;

If it set to false, then NOTHING that you do to a template will ever be updated.

You can also force clear your template cache, buy running:

yoursite.com/cleanup.php

[ARW VISIONS]

Are you sure you uploaded the correct head.tpl. Maybe you have uploaded it from the distributive or a back up or something. I have done this before. Made changes to a file but was uploading the wrong file. Just a thought.

[nivag]

Figured it out but dont know how/why mine is different than others....

Edited file: /customer/home.tpl

this has the same bit of code as the head.tpl where the logo and size are entered... altered this and it worked...

Hopefully this might help someone else with the same problems... or someone can explain why my head.tpl doesnt seem to have any affect but this file does

[ronstop]

Any suggestions for v4.3?
I need to change the logo size, too.

[ronstop]

The solution found here worked for me:

http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=50645&page=6&highlight=logo+size

I had to alter the skin1/altskin.css file.
