Create your logo and upload it to /_templates/default/img and now open /_templates/default/css/screen.css and find this line: [code] div#header h1#logo a{width:390px; height:82px; outline:0; background:url(../img/jobber-logo.gif) 0 0 no-repeat; text-indent:-1000em; float:left} [/code] and change jobber-logo.gif to your logo file. You should try to keep the size of the logo same as the current jobberbase logo which is 375x82. If its different from it, you will need to adjust the css according to it.

Can you post the content of the file where you had adsense code. Also turn error reporting on in the config.php file and report back the error what you get.

Hi, but the adsense code was inserted in 1.7 where it was working fine, but now i overwrote the 1.8 over all the files in 1.7 and then put in the config.php settings into config.php and then replaced the .htaccess with old .htaccess files. Please help Regards ltoso

Insert your adsense code like this: {literal} ADSENSE CODE {/literal} And now check again.

Yes, you can import the 1.7 database into a fresh 1.8 database. Login to your phpmyadmin and visit your 1.7 database and export your 1.7 jobs, job_applications, pages, hits, searches, spam_reports, types [b](only if you have extra or different job-types apart from the default 3)[/b] and cities tables. Now go to your 1.8 table and drop the above mentioned tables and import the 1.7 exported sql data. [b](Always have backup of both db beforehand)[/b] Now run these SQL Commands in your phpmyadmin: [code]alter table jobs modify column `city_id` int(11) default null; update jobs set city_id = null where city_id = -1; delete from cities where id = -1;[/code] Your 1.8 job board should now show old data.

You also have to update the template - this guide is only for the core files upgrade. Which theme were you using to check for upgrade. Upgrade using the default theme and then modify the theme to your needs. This is the best option.

If you are facing problems on localhost related to Jobs Application and receive errors of the sort: [code] *Warning*: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at \_includes\class.phpmailer.php:527) in * \_includes\function.redirect_to.php* on line *30 [/code] Then don't worry. This is not a bug. Its just that PHP Mail() function needs a SMTP Connection for sending mails on localhost. Read this if you want to send mails on localhost: http://roshanbh.com.np/2007/12/sending-e-mail-from-localhost-in-php-in-windows-environment.html

[b]A Small Compulsory Update for Making Widgets Page work after the upgrade[/b] Go to your Administration Panel and Go to Pages and Delete Widgets Page. Unless you delete this, Widgets Page won't work properly because now the Widgets are loaded from its own template file. This change was done so that widgets page show the proper url automatically instead of localhost and does not get corrupted while editing from TinyMCE.
