wizardsandwars Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 so can you let me know if you know what is happening. Sure thing. You are breaking syntax of the php. Post what you are trying to change it to, and we'll point out what you are doing wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

kdav Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 oh excuse me! its not english.php! wrong file name, same problem. i'm going into /includes/languages/english/index.php to change the front info on the cart (like where it has all the annoying directions, first off). i followed what the directions said, and i'm even when i change ONE LETTER of the text, it gives me that syntax error message. this is the text i need to edit: 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>.

wizardsandwars Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Here, change it to this. define('TEXT_MAIN', ''); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

kdav Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Here, change it to this. define('TEXT_MAIN', ''); <{POST_SNAPBACK}> tried that several times, and it just ends up saying: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/.kasha/kdav/kristendavenport.com/shop/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 19 im gonna try reading that link.

kdav Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 problem solved by simply opening up the index.php in notepad like suggested in the link and editing it that way. for some reason it would give me the error when i changed it through the admin panel, but not when i did it by hand. strange. anyways, thanks for your help!

wizardsandwars Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yes, don't ever use the admin file manager, or the file manager in your cpanel manager. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

kdav Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 haha well, i'm new to php, and i try to avoid messing with the code as much as possible. like i said, ive messed with zen cart (which is super similar) and i should have known, because i had to code that part in to zen cart, too. sucks for people who dont know ANYTHING about web... they'd be toooootally lost. i guess i was fortunate that i was only semi-lost ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdav Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 oh one last question real fast... can you tell me what file i should edit to change the "Let's See What We Have Here" header on the product view page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdav Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 scratch that. found it. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardsandwars Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 To be completly honest, people that don't know *anything* aobut the web, or dynamic content websites, shouldn't be building something as important as an ecommerce web shop. I shudder to think of a customers personal information security in the hands of someone that hasn't got a clue. There is a reason that people that develope these types of websites are paid decent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.
