Changed index.php, and getting an error.

[jerrysgirl]

Greetings-

 

My church is using osCommerce 2.2 - MS2. I need help! How do I fix these things?

 

I modified the page text for the home page on our store.

 

I went to the file found this way [path to catalog]/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

I changed the default text.

 

Now my title, which used to read "What's New Here?" reads "HEADING_TITLE".

 

Where the text is supposed to be, it reads "TEXT_MAIN".

 

And there is an error at the top of the page that reads: Parse error: parse error in /home/newgrace.org/www/store/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 13

 

The code on the page is below:

 

<?php

/*

define('TABLE_HEADING_DATE_EXPECTED', 'Date Expected');

 

if ( ($category_depth == 'products') || (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) ) {

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Let's See What We Have Here');

define('TABLE_HEADING_IMAGE', '');

define('TEXT_BUY', 'Buy 1 \'');

define('TEXT_NOW', '\' now');

define('TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES', 'All Categories');

define('TEXT_ALL_MANUFACTURERS', 'All Manufacturers');

} elseif ($category_depth == 'top') {

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

} elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') {

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Categories');

}

?>

 

Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

Greetings again-

 

I forgot to list the website: www.newgrace.org/store

 

Also, I noticed that the text frame that has new items reads "TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS" instead of New Products.

 

Thanks again for any help you can give me in repairing these things.

 

Have a wonderfully blessed day!

Hi, it's a simple error, but one that gave me a headache when I first started using osCommerce too.

 

You see where you've used appostrophes in your words? for example where you have said: [Let's] see what we have here? Also in your text-main you have used the word you'll?

 

Well, osCommerce treats ' as code, so where you have an appostrophe you'll have to insert a " \".

 

For example,

 

Let's

 

Becomes

 

Let\'s.

 

Do that everytime you use an apostrophe in a sentance.

 

This should fix your parse problem!

 

Kind Regards,

 

Peter

Peter,

 

Thanks again for the tip.

 

I was trying to upload photos, and some of them kept saying the image was unavailable, but the name of the photo would appear under the image unavailable spot.

 

When I looked at the ones that didn't load, the titles that I had given them all had apostrophes in them.

 

I renamed them, without the apostrophe, and they all uploaded fine!

 

Thanks again.

 

Robin
