Removing Default Text/info on Catelog Page

[richypete]

Hi:

 

Ok, OS is working after installing it manually in Ipowerweb. That is another story of superhuman willpower I may elaborate on later.

 

In any case I have edited various things, added my own logo, as well as a test item and image. My admin page is fine.

 

But I CANNOT find the file/s to get rid of the default text "this is a demonstration site..." et cetera. This page has an item I listed and I have put in my logo so I know I am doing something right.

 

LISTEN!!! There is NO text in catelog/functions/languages/english.PHP to edit out!

I have checked both english files and cannot find the text to edit. Another poster had an identical problem and the respondent gave hime a snotty answer directing him to the english.php file so I did a new topic.

 

Help!!! Rich :'(

Ok, in /catalog/includes/languages/english.php you should see:

 

"define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project, products shown are for demonstrational purposes, <b>any products purchased will not be delivered nor will the customer be billed</b>.

It's there that you need to edit. For example, for now, mine says:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to Sweet Homes.');

 

I hope this helps.

Remember - don't edit it online with the osCommerce File Manager. Download the file, use a plain text editor (NotePad not WordPad) and then upload when finished - and keep a backup of the original file just in case.
