Want to help a newbie of osCommerce/myPHPAdmin

[slydawgg]

As some one who is somewhat knowledgeable on how to program, but who is not familiar with myPhpAdmin or mySQL, I am looking for some help. Here is the situation... And yes, I realize it is probably very easy and a dumb question~~I just havent found the answers in the forums or Google. :'(

I recently set up a new database for osCommerce but there are a few things I would like to adjust in the tables and within the actual store. These things consist of changing the "Company field" to something more suitable for my customers, as they will not be from a business. Do I simply change a php file on the front end by editing the content, or do I need to breakdown the database in myPhpAdmin and file some kind of "company" field in one of the tables?

I also would like to add & remove some of the fields throughout the store to make it more suited for my site. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated...

 

 

Thanks :thumbsup:

If you just want to change the text then all you will need to do is change it in your english.php file or one of the other language files. If you want to change the behavior of the field then you will need to work on the database ie: if you needed to have the field accept more letters etc.

 

If there are fields you do not want to show up for the customer to look at then you can just edit the files so they do not. As long as it is not a reguired field then you would have to change that also.
