scrapbookingdeb Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I just changed the logo on my home page and it's way too large. How do I change it to make it the correct size and also, how do I get rid of the one there? scrapbookingdeb.com Yikes!! It's huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookingdeb Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 thank you for your reply. Actually, I had already gotten the logo fixed; so it is as I want it now. It WAS enormous, covered the menu bar and top row of featured products. However, I appreciate your help. The problem was that I could not change it when i went to Preference/appearance. No matter what I tried to replace it with, the huge logo stayed and it was a JPG file and I was replacing it with the same. Do you know why that would be?

Rayman Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hi can you tell me if you used a different method to resize your logo? I'm having the same problem.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsayanng Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 resizing logos is probably the EASIEST thing you can do IF you like the size of the place holder logo that was there (the prestashop logo in the case of the default theme). If you like the size of the logo before you uploaded your own you simply just open your picture in a photo editor (i'm sure one came with your PC - you can google "how to resize an image with Windows) and then reupload it. You can also change the appearance of the size of an image by changing the css. Open the GLOBAL.CSS file and find the style called img.logo and add a width, height, or both attribute like this: img.logo { float: left; font-size: 2em; font-weight: bold; height: 313px; width:215px; margin-top: 0.5em; } If you change the logo image with a new size or even an entirely new design sometimes when you check your site it will look like nothing has changed. This happens because your browser (Internet Explorer or FireFox or whatever) does something called CACHE. CACHE means that your browser downloads all images on your site to a temporary memory and when you go back to that site it pulls the images from a temporary memory instead of from the server which gives you a faster browsing experience. You can simply clear CACHE by holding the shift key when you click refresh most of the time. HOWEVER, Prestashop has a forced CACHE on which you can turn off in the admin.To turn off the cache go to Preferences >> Proformance and disable both cache functions. Now you will get a fresh download of your site from your server every time you view your site. When you are done editing you should turn this back on so your site loads quickly for viewers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsayanng Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Here;s something that will give you tremendous amounts of help.. Download FIREFOX and use that for your browser and then install an addon called "FIREBUG" . Firebug allows you to select an element on your live website and view the code (html and css) that is creating that element. You can make live changes to CSS to test and see how these changes effect your page (but you can not save them so keep notes if you go nuts editing) but it will also show you where a specific image resides so you can get more information about it. Here is a good tutorial on ithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rfiPaWz4NoThis is a tool I have in my arsenal that I consider indispensable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Lindsayanng that is a fantastic bit of kit!!! I already use Firefox so the add on was easy - it's briliant. Thank you so much. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
