Cannot change logo on header

Hi guys,
I am hoping someone can help. I have ran into a few issues when I am trying to change the look of the xataface app. I tried to change the lable tags and also tried to change the logo in the header to be something else but nothing I do works.
When trying to change the lables I followed the tutorial instructions exactly and there was no change. I then downloaded the tar file from that tutorial and tried that to see if I had done something wrong but I couldn’t get that to work either.
I then moved on and tried to change the header template, followed the instructions exactly and the new template is being used but whenever I try to use an image of my own it doesn’t work. However if I use an image from the xataface folder that works.
What am I missing guys???? I am completely confused as the xataface images work but my ones don’t?
I thought that I hadn’t set up xataface correctly since I am having a few issues, which may be the case but I can add rows to the db and can view the db so I assumed I have set it up correctly?
Sorry for the long post, I am just frustrated that I can’t get the simple things to work
Thanks guys,
K.

When you say that you can’t change labels, does that mean that you attempted to set widget:label directives in the fields.ini file?
Can you give me an example table info:
e.g. table name
the path to your fields.ini for that table
the contents of your fields.ini for that table.
It may be as simple as case sensitivity in table names.

Yes, sorry I probably wasn’t very clear. Yes I created a fields.ini file and copied across the code from the tutorial and changed it accordingly for my fields. But it wouldn’t pick up which makes me think I have done something wrong in the installation?
The table I was using was called area_owners and the field name I was trying to change was ownerName. I created the tables directory within the project folder.
This is the contents of my config.ini which I wasn’t sure if this was the problem but I doubt it:
[_database]
host = “localhost”
user = “root”
password = “BSkyB”
name = “business support plan”
[_tables]
Area_Owners = “area_owners”
Improvements= “improvements”
Improvement_Status= “improvement_status”
The path to my fields.ini is:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\myApp\tables\area_owners
And the contents of the fields.ini is:
[ownerName]
widget:label = “Team Leader Name”
widget:description = “Enter the name of the team leader”
I couldn’t see anything wrong with what I had done but it just didn’t pick up. Also as hard as I tried I could not get my logo to show up in the header even though it was in the correct location as I was able to get the alt text instead. All the images that came with Xataface worked but mine didn’t??
Thanks,
K.

Are you sure that the table is named area_owners, and not, for example, Area_Owners?
The most likely cause of the problems you described is that the path to the table’s config directory doesn’t match the name of the table exactly.

I am having a similar problem to the one described by kerry.finlayson, but I have double checked my paths and upper/lower case issues.
I have installed xataface and am able to modify records and view the modifications in phpMyAdmin’s interface.
My path is:
C:\xampp\htdocs\mb_test\tables\ip
In my IP table, I have a field “ipname” (no underscore) and another “ip_category” (with underscore), both of which I see in xataface. Inside the ip directory I have the following fields.ini file:
[ipname]
widget:label = “IP Name”
widget:description = “Enter the name of your IP”
When I edit an IP record, all I see are the fields:
Ipname
IP category
Do I not have something installed correctly?

problem now seems to be due to PHP 5.3, when I run a simple example, I get:
Warning: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in conf.ini on line 1 in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\index.php on line 5
Should I download 5.31 release candidate from phpMyAdmin, or something else?

I reinstalled xampp with 1.71 and 5.29 php and now the example conf.ini with: a:b=c and index.php with:
