Replace Logo Image on Drupal Site - php

I'm new to Drupal and to PHP, all I need to do is change the image file for the logo in my header. I've found my page.tpl.php, and the line for the link, but I don't understand what $logo is referencing. What file is it pointing to? How to I find it and change the file?
Thanks, in advance.

It's point to your {your_theme}/logo.png.
But if system cannot find that png file on your theme.
It will use default logo, for example: themes/bartik/logo.png.

You should not do that in page.tpl.php. Just login to your site, choose appearance => choose your active theme => settings => upload file => go to your file and click upload => save.
Drupal will automatically set $logo to the place it uploaded your logo (somewhere in your public folder). It is important for your theme to use this variable in order to show it on your website. Since you found the variable in your page.tpl.php file, that should be fine.
If you really want to change the file rather than use the proposed method, do this method once and simply search for the logo file in your public folder. Next time you can overwrite this file. You should not overwrite the default Drupal logo.
An even better way to get it is by opening the source code when looking at your webpage (your browser provides this, you can also use a tool like firebug) and search for the "header" id. On the next lines you should find the relative path to the image file that is currently used.

If you are using default theme, you can change your logo at
[your project folder>themes>your theme>logo.png]
If you are using custom theme, you can change at
[your project folder>sites>all>themes>your themes>logo.png]
$logo is referencing to logo.png on those directories.

How do I get my current wordpress theme's header & footer in a PHP file?

The file is manually created by me & not a part of the theme.
I've tried by placing get_header( ) inside my file but it shows a error that get_header( ) is not defined.
Maybe you don't have default header and footer names. Then you need to set additional name.
Includes the header.php template file from your current theme's directory. If a name is specified then a specialised header header-{name}.php will be included.
If the theme contains no header.php file then the header from the
default theme wp-includes/theme-compat/header.php will be included.
Source: https://codex.wordpress.org/get_header
I highly discourage it but you need to include the wp-load.php file that resides in the root of your wordpress installation, in your lone php file. That is how you have access to WP functions and capabilities.
But again I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE IT. Find another way, create a simple plugin and activate it, in which you put that php file's code, or if part of a theme, just create a new page template with a different header, that you can call with get_header('name_of_header_without_php_extension') or a new footer called the same way but with get_footer().
There are alternatives, maybe if you share what you are trying to achieve, we can guide you to a better, safe solution.
Based on theme it's defer.
Same time define as get_header(),get_footer()
But now latest themse assign particular theme name based header & footer function
Ex: Theme Name is "Demo"
So the header function assign as Demo_get_header() or get_header_Demo()
Dashboard ->Appearance ->Editor -> in your Template file or in page.php write
<?php get_header()?>,<?php get_footer()?>
if you want to use different headers on different pages
1. create new file , name it header-example.php
2. you can call this header in any page using code

How custom template implement in opencart

I am new in Opencart, I have installed Opencart 2.3.0.2 in my xampp server.
I have a custom html template. How I implement it in Opencart ?
can I use the template in same store(opencart default) or another ?
Thanks alot.
Make copies…
To start with copy the default folder found in
upload/catalog/view/theme/default
to a new folder in the same directory. Name it “mytheme“.
Then copy the theme_default.php file in
upload/admin/controller/extension/theme
and place it in same directory. Name it “mytheme.php“.
Rename the class to (line 2):
ControllerExtensionThemeMyTheme
+ Replace all “theme_default” text to “mytheme“. Yes there are a lot (197).
Copy the theme_default.tpl in
upload/admin/view/template/extension/theme
and place it in the same directory. Name it “mytheme.tpl“.
Replace all “theme_default” text to “mytheme“. (48)
Copy theme_default.php in
upload/admin/language/en-gb/extension/theme
and place it in the same directory. Name it “mytheme.php“.
Set the new theme’s title in heading_title (line 3) to “My Theme”.
Finally for the thumnail image to show correctly in store settings rename default.png to mytheme.png in
upload/catalog/view/theme/mytheme/image
Now go into your Administration > Extensions > Extensions and select Themes in “Choose the extension type”. You should be seeing your new theme. Install it with the green (+) button and edit it to enable it. Also ensure you set the correct theme directory whilst editing the theme!
Then in System > Settings edit your store to use your new theme.
That should do it. You can now go ahead and start chopping and changing the default theme.

How to access static files from inside Wordpress plugin directory

I'm trying to create a custom Wordpress Plugin for one of my websites. And I've created a shortcode inside the plugin and I have one .swf file inside the plugin directory that I want to embed using the created shortcode. I've tried with <embed src="wp-content/plugins/myplugin/obj.swf"> also tried with <iframe> but I get 404 Page not found error. The same error when I try to open the swf file directly from the browser's address bar. Can anyone give me little hand how can I achieve this?
Based on our comments, and the screen shot, you should rename the folder on the server to be in lower case (ie from falja-e-namazit-WP to falja-e-namazit-wp).
EDIT
Not sure what you mean by your latest comment, but you should be able to get the URL of your asset using the plugins_url() function. Assuming your SWF file is in /wp-content/plugins/falja-e-namazit-wp/assets, the following code (in /wp-content/plugins/falja-e-namazit-wp/falja-e-namazit-wp.php) should return its URL:
$swf_url = plugins_url( 'assets/falja.swf', __FILE__ );

How to make a template overwrite for mod_menu with alternative layouts for link outputs?

I understand and love template overwrites. I need to do some heavier changes to the menu output (basically making the output work better with Bootstrap) - but only for certain menus.
Currently in Joomla 3 there are the following in the mod_menu/tmpl folder:
default.php
default_component.php
default_heading.php
default_separator.php
default_url.php
If I want to change the classes I'd copy the default.php into my mytemplate/html/mod_menu and change it. Great, no problem.
If I want to change the link outputs to go along with that I can copy the default_component.php to mytemplate/html/mod_menu and change it. Great, no problem.
If I want to have the choice of having a different "Alternative Layout" I'd rename the mytemplate/html/mod_menu/default.php to newlayout.php, then select it in the admin module manager for that menu. Great, no problem.
Here's the problem: If I want to have the link output changed for certain menus but not all of them I figure I'd change default_component.php to newlayout_component.php like I did above which would correspond to the newlayout.php...but that doesn't work.
Questions:
1) How to have alternative layouts for each of the default_component.php, default_heading.php, default_separator.php, default_url.php template files (not just an overwrite)?
2) I would think default_url.php is the one that would affect the link outputs but it seems it's default_component.php that does. So what does each one of those do? I couldn't find any information on joomla.org about that.
Thanks!
The alternative layout feature only works for the main file (default.php), not for the sublayouts (default_component.php, ...). So you have to create your own newlayout.php which then can load newlayout_component.php, or use the default_component.php. In fact, the default_component.php will be used as fallback if no newlayout_component.php is found.
The code switches over the $item->type of the link. 'separator', 'url', 'component' and 'heading' are handled by the 'default_'.$item->type, everything else will use default_url. So a plain URL should indeed be generated by default_url.php, not default_component.php. If it behaves differently, it's likely a bug.

Wordpress calling an HTML file from PHP

I am trying to modify a theme on wordpress. The theme shows a slider on the front page, which reads from the featured.php file.
I have gone into the featured.php and removed all the PHP code. I can inject my custom HTML into the featured.php and the pages display properly, however I want the page to display from a wordpress page.
So i tried to:
<?php
$html = file_get_contents('http://www.mydomain.com/homepage-featured');
?>
The above link corresponds to a page i created in wordpress. So i want to be able to inject my HTML into that page and then when you load my homepage, the PHP tells the browser to display the contents of this URL.
The above code doesn't work.
Thanks for the help.
file_get_contents() - as its name suggests - reads a file in but does not print it. You need to echo your $html variable. A better way is to use require() or include() but if I were you I would put my custom file on the same server so that way you don't have to use the file from a remote location thus sparing network traffic.
I think you have better to use the include function.
The file_get_contents you are using would generate an HTTP request, so it would make your script slower. I think it would be a good idea to put the HTML file on the same server if possible.
Have you tried
<?php
require('http://www.mydomain.com/homepage-featured');
?>
If my understanding is correct, you are trying to use a template (featured.php) for a different page other than the front page.
To do so, just change the Page Template of the page(the separate page which is # www.url.com/myhomepage). You can change this # Dashboard > Pages (Click Edit link in the required page) > Edit Page > Page Attributes meta box (available in the rightside below Publish) > Template. Change the template of this page to "Featured".
(I assume that your code in file feature.php has Template Name: Featured at the top)
