X-Cart forums

The logo I made for my upper left hand xlogo.gif is larger than the original. I'd like to change the size of the logo somewhere in the code so that it matches the new logo. It currently shows up scrunched to fit the old logo size of 244 x 67.

I've looked through the forums and couldn't find the answer. Sorry if this has been asked before!

(hope I made sense...)

It's been asked a zillion times... and you will only succeed with xcart if you do the following:

1. In your admin, startup webmaster mode.
2. In webmaster mode, click on"open customer area in new window"
3. Read the manual about webmaster mode...
4. in the pop-up, hover your cursor over the section with the logo -- you'll see that this template is "head.tpl"
5. SO -- this means you should open skin1/head.tpl with your ftp client.
6. In head.tpl, you will clearly see that the logo (in a stock 4.0.19 install) is in a td:

<TD><A href="{$http_location}"><IMG src="{$ImagesDir}/xlogo.gif" width="244" height="67" border="0"></A></TD>

So, change this. Rename the image. Change the size attrbutes. Go to town. (and don't forget to upload your image to to /skin1/images)

Without webmaster mode, you will never learn what goes where.

I appreciate your time. I've been learning webmaster mode and finding it very useful to pinpoint the location of the templates.

Thank you so much for answering, even though it's been asked a zillion times. I am bookmarking those links now.
