I do not recall where the default install says welcome to osCommerce but you look in either your

 

includes/languages/english.php

 

or

 

includes/languages/english/index.php

 

depending on exactly which text you are wanting to change.

Thanks for that. I can view the source code of the web page and see:

<td class="pageHeading">Welcome to osCommerce!</td>

 

But no idea where that is coming from

Ok i found it on directory_path\catalog\stylesheet.php on line 171 contains this code:

 

TD.pageHeading, DIV.pageHeading {
 font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
 font-size: 20px;
 font-weight: bold;
 color: #9a9a9a;
}

 

Thanxs dude.

can I just ask, in relation to this, how to change the style of this heading on only the first page? I want to make my header bit a girly cursive font but it won't suit the other pages.

[Wendy James]

First, if someone goes to your website and doesn't have the font you specify they will not see it so it is best to use an image.

 

Second, if you really want to do it with a font then make a new class in the stylesheet. You can use the pageheading class as a sample, rename it to something else like pagehadingindex then change the class name on the index.php

no, happier to make it an image... but how to put an image there instead of the welcome title?

[Wendy James]

Open your index.php and add the code for an image.

I would change

<?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?>

to something like

<img src="urltopic/picname.jpg" width="100" height="100">

If it is the "Let\'s See What We Have Here" text you want to replace.

OR you could open the includes/languages/english/index.php (or whichever language(s) you are using and change

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'What\'s New Here?');

to

define('HEADING_TITLE', '<img src="urltopic/picname.jpg" width="100" height="100">');

 

don't forget to change the width and height to the correct sizes.

I'll have to have the pic hosted somewhere though... can I upload the pic to a folder and link it to that somehow? sorry, I don't know how to do these things at all, but surely that is a better way to do it? or is it too complex?

[Wendy James]

You can upload the image to anywhere you want to then call for it like the code I posted above changing the url, pic name and size to match where your image is and the image itself.

 

Like if you upload an image named mypic.jpg that is 100 pixesl wide by 100 pixels tall to your images folder the code would be

<img src="images/mypic.jpg" width="100" height="100">

or

<img src="http://yourdomain.com/images/mypic.jpg" width="100" height="100">
