OMG!!!

[ewholesalesunglassesdotcom]

:'( omg.. what have I done?

 

I'm a total newbie.. I probably shouldn't even be allowed to touch this program! Anyways, all i wanted was to get rid of the default text on the main page from osommerce. I thought I was carefully deleting just the text stuff... but nooooooooooo, I destroyed everything!!!!! :'(

 

 

When I open the website this is all I get now:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/virtual/site330/fst/var/www/html/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 14

This is a copy of my index.php file....

You need 1 more ' on the end.

'</td><td class="main" valign="top"><b>Error Messages</b><br><br>';

[gscreations]

The error is here:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to eWholesaleSunglasses.com! If you need assistance please feel free to use our Live Help customer support system. Please note that most of our sunglasses are inspired by the listed manufacturers. All of which are legal and do not violate any copyright laws. <br><br><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/warningcone.gif') . '</td><td class="main" valign="top"><b>Error Messages</b><br><br>;

change it to:

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to eWholesaleSunglasses.com! If you need assistance please feel free to use our Live Help customer support system. Please note that most of our sunglasses are inspired by the listed manufacturers. All of which are legal and do not violate any copyright laws.');

and put this bit under where the include TEXT_MAIN bit appears on your index.php

<br><br><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/warningcone.gif') . '</td><td class="main" valign="top"><b>Error Messages</b><br><br>

OK, open the file in your favourite text editor.

 

Replace:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to eWholesaleSunglasses.com! If you need assistance please feel free to use our Live Help customer support system. Please note that most of our sunglasses are inspired by the listed manufacturers. All of which are legal and do not violate any copyright laws. <br><br><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/warningcone.gif') . '</td><td class="main" valign="top"><b>Error Messages</b><br><br>;

 

...with...

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to eWholesaleSunglasses.com! If you need assistance please feel free to use our Live Help customer support system. Please note that most of our sunglasses are inspired by the listed manufacturers. All of which are legal and do not violate any copyright laws.');

 

...then re-upload the file.

 

This will get you up and running again quick. If there's more text that you need on your home page, just add it in after the final " laws." and before the ');

 

If you have any apostrophes in your text, then you need to type them as \', otherwise PHP will think that the ' is ending the TEXT_MAIN definition, and you'll get an error. If you're unsure, post what you intend here and I'll have a look for you.

 

Don't edit the file using the admin file manager, it tends to screw files up.

 

And always make a backup!

Also these lines:

define('TEXT_BUY', 'Buy 1 \'');

define('TEXT_NOW', '\' now');

you dont need to do that just delete the extra ' like:

define('TEXT_BUY', 'Buy 1 ');

define('TEXT_NOW', ' now');

[arod]

imho, all you miss is a close quotes and parenthesis "')"

in the line that looks like:

'</td><td class="main" valign="top"><b>Error Messages</b><br><br>;

should become 

'</td><td class="main" valign="top"><b>Error Messages</b><br><br>');

 

and everyone will be happy.
