Website name change/edit header problems
Permalink
I decided to update and revamp my site today, i am experiencing a problem, as I have altered the name of my company, i have being trying to change it on the upper left hand corner of all my pages, with absolutly no success, now I have edited it within 1) global scrapbook, didn't work, even tried deleting the entry there, still nada. 2) I have changed the name within site wide settings, this has renamed each page and the copyright on the footer, still nothing on the header! 3) Even checked all the .php files, still nothing in there with my site name.
now the theme i am using is Dark Chocolate, I recall trying this a few months ago with no success, now I really need to sort this, as I need to change the direction of my business and that needs to be reflected within the name.
I have trawled through the search feature and tried anything that looked relevant, but still nada.
Please if anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Josh,
Forgot to mention I had cleared the cache, still nothing!
Now i just atempted the Refresh core database tables and blocks and I get an error message, as follows
mysql error [1142 INDEX command denied to user 'splashgo_stefanm'@'localhost' for table 'AttributeKeys'] in Execute("DROP INDEX akHandle ON AttributeKeys")
That's pretty much Mandarin to me, what does it mean?

As for that error message when rebuilding the tables. That was in reference to the user account the database uses. The user doesn't have access to certain commands (INDEX, DROP). This can be changed if you have access to your database (MySQL via phpMyAdmin for example) or something similar.

Have you tried to clear your cache? Is there anyway you can post a link so we can see what you are talking about?
link to my site ishttp://www.splash-goa.com
where it says in text Splash! Bathrooms (Goa) is what I want to change.
Really baffled by this.

Hi Stefan, theres two other ways of going about this. The first, go into Dashboard, click Scrapbook, and then Global Scrapbook link. In there should be a block called "logo" or "My_Site_Name". There you can edit it. Then you'll need to clear the cache again.
You can also edit the file itself, but try the above first. BTW what theme are you using?

Hi Josh,
The theme i am using is Dark Chocolate and I had deleted the global scrapbook entry, after trying to change the name over there, I had also followed the proceedure of clearing the cache after, still nothing.
Any idea's?

Sorry for the multiple replies, scatter brained today. You said you're using Dark Chocolate for the theme. I just setup a quick C5 site using that theme, and updating the site name in Sitewide Settings, then clearing the cache allowed me to change it.
The other option is directly editing the file and removing it all together,

How/where do I do that? I asume somewhere in cpanel?
I may be way off base, but to change your "Site Name" goto Dashboard/Sitewide Settings/General tab/Site Name
The Sitewide Settings option is in Concrete5's dashboard, (the link for dashboard is in the top gray edit bar of your site). After removing it or changing it, clear the cache like before and all should be good.
If not, I have one other idea we can do.

Tried that aswell, it just changes the footer on the site next to the copyright.
What I think happened is when the Global Scrapbook was deleted, it had the My_Site_Name block in it, but I bet the value is lingering in the database. How do you feel about editing a little HTML/PHP files directly?
Or if you have access to your database, we can try that route first.

Don't mind editing html/php, as for databases, i have access, but really am clueless to that, i can vaguely muddle through html and php, please advise, will respond later/try what you suggest in the morning as it's almost 1 am over here.
Thanks for the help so far,
Stefan

Understandable. I'll reply back after work tonight (its 2:30pm here). With a somewhat detailed response on how to accomplish this. I'm a night owl, so if you need anything just holler.

Thanks Josh,
Will look forward to your reply.

Will look forward to your reply.

Here is an idea check your config->site.php and see if the site title is defined. Look and see if there is a line that looks like this.
If you see that line, that is the problem, all you have to do is remove it or comment it out.
define('SITE', 'Splash! Bathrooms (Goa)');
If you see that line, that is the problem, all you have to do is remove it or comment it out.
I thought that too, but looking at the templates, the footer uses SITE, but the header uses My_Site_Name.

It doesn't really look like a block problem to me because the code isn't wrapped in anything. It is the standard <title>Splash! Bathrooms (Goa)</title>. Usually blocks are wrapped and would look like <div id="block"><div class="title">TITLE</div></div> That may help in trouble shooting.
I'll have to look again, but I thought his had:
around it.
- Josh
<div id=logo>Some Text Title</div>
around it.

I see what you are looking at now. I think that you are right because the SITE appears to be right. It is actually set to "Splash! Bathrooms & Interiors (Goa)", which I am assuming is what he wants.
I just glanced at the title and saw "Splash! Bathrooms" and thought there is the problem. haha. Thanks for pointing that out. At least we know that his SITE variable is working. So you were right, it is displaying the My_Site_Name block. Sorry about that. Glad one of us is on the ball. haha

No need for sorry! I pulled an all nighter last night, so I wasn't sure if I was hallucinating that or not. :-)

Thanks Dwayne and Josh,
Just edited the header.php file, where the line says 'My_Site_Name' I simply put the new name in there and it worked!
Great stuff, thanks,
Also I forgot to mention that one page on my site, I am using another theme, which could be the reason for the conflict, this pasge was added last, as I recall editing the site name a few times during developement.

Hi
I'm running into this problem as well.
On the published web site it is "Site Title".
If I edit system- site-name
It updates the bottom of the web site.
Somehow I've edit the common "Site Title" and it shows up in the edit and preview, but not the published version.
Seems like there is a disconnect in what variable controls these and can't find any help on it.
While I'm a C/++ programmer - I'm just attempting to put a web site together for a friend.
So looking for a header.php file there are a number under different themes. Then I can't find what theme I'm using.
This first time through was a trial, so I'm going to reinstall for real and see if the same problem comes up, but I though I should leave a not here for anybody looking at this

Have you tried clearing the cache? Also rebuilding the db tables. If you go to the dashboard, click on Sitewide Settings, it has a option to clear the cache. Then on the nav above it, click on Debug then check "Refresh core database tables in concrete/config and all block directories" and click the "Refresh Database" button.
We'll start their, and see where it goes.
