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.

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?

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

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.

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

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????

now the logo is just blank!

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.
