Re: Where did this go?
Hi Ruth You got me curious, so I had a more detailed look at the code. In the standard ecommerce web pages, the logo is set to be the first found of the following: 1. a logo set for the user's session only, something to do with tracking codes in Marketing, didn't follow this up further. Haven't started trying to learn about Marketing yet :-) 2. the logo associated with the catalog (see Catalog Manager, same screen where you set the name for the catalog) 3. the logo associated with the theme. Don't know much about the first option, but I guess the one for the theme (#3) is meant to be the fallback if one hasn't been set for the catalog (#2)? Haven't actually tried any of this. I suspect what you are wanting is the one associated with the catalog. Looks like it's moved to there from the productstore.

I presume the same applies to the style sheet, but haven't checked. The code I looked at did appear to have some other mechanism for overriding the logo defined by the theme. Didn't follow this up, but it looked like it was associated with the company settings? Cheers, Anne. 2009/9/5 Ruth Hoffman : Hi Jacques: Thanks. Anyone else care to comment?

Re: Where did this go?
Was looking at some of the code for header logo settings in trunk a couple of days ago. Yes, the one defined in the theme is now used instead, and there's a comment somewhere in the code that the logo field for the product store is no longer used. I presume the same applies to the style sheet, but haven't checked. The code I looked at did appear to have some other mechanism for overriding the logo defined by the theme.
