index.php

[Guest]

hi,

 

I have installed oscommerce and I have followed the instructions on editing the index.php in the /catalog/includes/languages/english/ dir. I have a wierd issue though! as soon as I edit one word or even change on letter and save it I loose the index.php content totally. All I get is a blank page when I launch the catalog url ?

 

 

Thanks Mark :( :blink:

If you are entering a single quote or apostrophe you need to escape all occurances of that character with a backslash, e.g. ' should be \' and that is most likely your problem.

I have tried what you have suggested but I still get the same problem. If I edit the directly on the server I don't get the problem....it looks like everytime I use the OSC file manager to edit the file it breaks it?. The only problem with editing directley on the server is that using ee text editor is a pain :(

 

Do you have any other ideas ?

 

Thanks Mark

If you had searched the forum you would have found thousands of posts about this issue. Th eosCommerce File Manager does not work - it screws up files - don't use it.

 

Download the file to be edited, take a backup, edit in a plain text editor like Notepad, upload, and if it doesn't work restore from the backup.
