richypete Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 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 :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 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>. Any information seen on these products is to be treated as fictional.<br><br><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES .

For example, for now, mine says: define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to Sweet Homes.'); I hope this helps. SR Bullo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Vger Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 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.
