:rolleyes: To change the index page, edit the catalog/includes/languages/english (OR YOUR LANGUAGE)/index.php.

 

To change the colors of your site, edit calalog/stylesheet.css.

But wher in those do I find what I need to fix??? I am haveing trouble finding them.

[Guest]

see those statements in the code like

 

'default/1.gif'

'default/2.gif'

'default/3.gif'

'default/4.gif'

 

these are the bullet images the default file uses. So the

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', '...........................');

 

is where the entire text of your front page is, in html.

anyway to remove that pic?? There is one at the top of the page but I am not seeing it in index or am I just missing it? Is it in another folder?

[Guest]

are you refering to the one right of the What's New Here? If so its in the catalog\index.php file. Near the end where it says something like

<?php
 } else { // default page
?>

in one of the table cells has a tep_image function that displays it.

[redring]

ok ... that is solved.

 

 

Thank you for all the help. :) I am learning. Slowly but I am learning.

 

Next problem :-"

 

I took out all of the extra stuff my welcome page come with. Now I have no idea whear I can add text into each page. This system is verry touchy and it dose not like me playing around. I should say my page is on someone elses. I am just a seller. I think this may hinder what I can do my self. (Can I add contributations???)

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="top"></td><td class="main" valign="top"></b><span class="messageStackError"</span></td></tr><td class="main" valign="top"></td><td class="main" valign="top"></b><br><nobr class="messageStackSuccess"></nobr><nobr class="messageStackSuccess"</nobr> <nobr class="messageStackSuccess"></nobr><nobr><span class="messageStackSuccess"></span></nobr><br><br><nobr></u></a></td></tr><tr><td class="main" valign="top"></td><td class="main" valign="top"></b></td></tr><tr><td class="main" valign="top"></td><td class="main" valign="top"></b> <u></u></a><u></u></a></td></tr></table> </u></a><b></b></font>');
define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'All NEW!! %s');
define('TABLE_HEADING_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS', 'looking forward to');
define('TABLE_HEADING_DATE_EXPECTED', 'Date Expected');

 

I thinks its somwhear in between theese????

valign="top"></td><td class="main

 

Thank you .

[nana]

lets say you want to change ---------- looking forward to

 

 

then change

define('TABLE_HEADING_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS', 'looking forward to');

to

define('TABLE_HEADING_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS', 'what you want to say');

and it will say ======== what you want to say

keep the '' around your words

[redring]

And that changes the tabel headings but what about adding text to the top of each page . Like a bit about that catagory??? The welcome page had text on it but after I deleated it all I forgot what areas it went into. Or what made the text apear???

:rolleyes: As a rule of thumb, the files in the catalog/ directory is used to display your pages. The files in the catalog/includes/languages/YOUR LANGUAGE/ and the catalog/includes/languages directories contain the text you want to display.

 

It's helpful to know a little html before tackling osCommerce (this cart uses html, php, css, and javascript).

 

The best way to "get acquainted" with osCommerce is through trial and error. Reviewing the code of the original file in the catalog/ directory and looking at the matching file in the catalog/includes/languages/YOUR LANGUAGE/ directory and your "base" language file, you'll be able to see where the text is coming from.
