Change and maintain main page text

[Guest]

I see a lot of new store owners having a bit of trouble with maintaining TEXT_MAIN so here is a quick fix that is useful on stores that only support one language.

 

In index.php find this code:

<td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></td>

Replace it with this:

<td class="main"><?php include('main.php'); ?></td>

Next, create a new page in the document root called "main.php". Use HTML and all characters are allowed...no need to escape anything. In addition, it allows for PHP tags and is versatile.

 

It's a quick fix and should eliminate all problems with escaping characters.

 

This will work for a store that supports one language only...

If you are looking for a multi-language solution, or a general way for including html into certain pages, check out this contribution that explains how to include texts as well as create popups:

Hello Chemo,

 

I am having a problem with the main.php

 

I cannot get the styles and sizes on the fonts to match what I am setting in the main.php file.

 

Thanks
