Basic Problem?

[bran8464]

I have just installed 4.8 via Fantastico for evaluation. I find, however, that I cannot change the font size in the header because I cannot change the permissions/the system won't let me. I have searched this forum thoroughly and there is something about site owner needing changing. I cannot find anything about how to change site owner. It would be a good thing if font sizes could be managed within admin - any chances of that happening?

If I was satisfied that Soho will fit my needs I will have to upgrade to acquire e-commerce. I notice from previous threads that the GBP is not displayed only USD. Is there now an option to select currency symbol? Will I be able to make it integrate with PayPal - I say that because a previous member has said it will not integrate with PayPal.

I am hoping for a fairly quick reply because I need to get on with a project.

Hello Bran8464,

Most template headers are controled using a class called pound_logo. You can find this in the index.html or custom.css file.

To change permissions-
Login to FTP for the site and navigate to sohoadmin/program/modules/site_templates/pages folder. This is where all templates are held. Find the template folder for your template and right click on it. Select the permissions option and change this to 777. You may also need to do this for the index.html and custom.css file.

If you have shell access you can use this command to change permissions-
chmod -R a+rw path/to/template/folder
This will set the folder and all files inside it to 777.

If you are running php suexec, use this command
chmod 0755 path/to/template/folder

To change owner using shell-
chown -R ftp_user.apache path/to/template/folder
Change ftp_user to your ftp username.
This will set the folder and all files inside it to a owner of ftp_user(you) and group to apache.
Depending on your server you may need to change apache to nobody, root or 99. It is whatever php is running as.

If you are running php suexec, owner and group should be ftp_user.ftp_user

You can also change permissions using cpanels file manager.

Cart currency
You can select the currency in the Payment Options of the shopping cart.
As for this currency passing through and working with paypal, I could not tell you off the top of my head.

Hope this helps! :)
