Edit the page_header.tpl file in the elements folder of your chosen template.

i got a weird problem. I have modified the page header.tpl to show a custom header and that worked fine at first. But since I have modified it and changed the images but they will no show up as though the origional ones ahve been cached somewhere?? :confused:

doh.... i just needed to remove the files from the 'template_c' directory... all sorted now

When I go into page_header.tpl file in the elements folder of the template i am using i see reference to #siteTitle#

Where is the value for site title stored so i can change it? Been going round in circles trying to change it all day. feel like an idiot as i can;t remember where it is.

I think the file you're after is:

\includes\smarty\configs\config.inc

Hope that helps.

In case this is of any use to anyone I've found a good little freebie tool for tracking things down in folders/files and also replace en masse if necessary:

Just wonder if anyone knows how to fix the link that the logo points to. i have my custom logo and it links back to the index.php of the shop, but i want it to link back to my main site home page. currently it points to http://mydomain.com/shop/, but i want it to point to http://mydomain.com. i changed the //define('HOME_URL', 'http://www.mydomain.com/'); within global.inc.php, but doesn't appear to have worked.

If I have understood you correctly:


i changed the //define('HOME_URL', 'http://www.mydomain.com/'); within global.inc.php

Change this back to as it was otherwise it will mess things up.

Then in:

\templates\...\elements\page_header.tpl

You should see:

<a href="{$P_INDEX}" title="Return to {#siteTitle#} home page">

Simply change the ="{$P_INDEX}" bit to ="'http://www.mydomain.com"

That should do it...
