web site name above address bar

[webbqt]

I'm not even sure what that box is called, the one above the address bar and everything else, but right now it says osCommerse when I go to my web site. I'd like to change it as well as the little box at the very bottom of the screen to my web site's name. I've looked through my files to find the place to change this, and searched around knowledge base too, but I can't find it. (could be because I don't even know what to call the boxes)

to edit the name on the title bar at the very top of the screen...

 

 

/admin/includes/languages/english.php

 

around line 47, you'll see this code..

 

// page title
define('TITLE', 'osCommerce');

 

simply change 'osCommerce' to the name of your store.

Easy to find and easy to change. Thanks.

but......

When I made the change I got a parse error on line 108 - not the line I changed. I've tried to change it from my cpanel as well as from admin/file manager. After the parse error shows up, I just reload the original file and that fixes it, but can't change the page title.

Hi Denise,

 

Always use FTP to place a copy of the file on your PC, then use a simple text editor like UltraEdit-32 to change the file. Then use FTP to upload the file to your webserver again. Before making any changes, please save a copy of the file as a backup!

Never use the admin - file editor or the editor in your control panel.

I tried the free trial of UltraEdit-32 to make this change. When I check my files it shows the change (osCommerse to my web site name), but when you go to the online catalog it still says osCommerce.....am I missing a change somewhere else?

Thank you, I was also looking for this one!

I am getting this in the titlebar of my browser:

 

$title - Microsoft Interent Explorer

 

Would you happen to know how to correct that. I added the name of my store in catalog/mystore/includes/languages/english.php, but this keeps showing instead.

 

Help!

ok got to www.davakay.com/davikwebstore/admin

 

then look in your includes/language/english.php

 

look for this line:

From:

// page title
define('TITLE', '$title');

 

To:

// page title
define('TITLE', 'osCommerce');

 

to test it out

ok...I have made this change in catalog/includes/languages/english.php, then, ftp the file back to the same location, but it still shows $title - Microsoft etc... in the titlebar.

by looking at your site you need to re-upload your catalog and re-install osCommerce to mysql that should solve the problem

[Guest]

Thank you for your help. I'll try that again.....

[webbqt]

It's me again. This time I'm wondering how to get the "<title>" out of the title. Mine reads <title> Name of Store. All the pages start with the <title> then the catagory name. You can see it at www.webbsgraphics.com/decals.

 

Thanks
