How to change format of "log yourself in" link.

[philip56]

I would like to change the format of the "log yourself in" and "create an account" links on the main shop page but can't find the right file to edit. I've looked in what I think are the obvious ones.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks

index.php refers the function tep_customer_greeting:

<td class="main" align="center"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>

This is a found in /catalog/includes/functions/general.php

////
// Return a customer greeting
 function tep_customer_greeting() {
global $customer_id, $customer_first_name;

if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_first_name') && tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {
  $greeting_string = sprintf(TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL, tep_output_string_protected($customer_first_name), tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW));
} else {
  $greeting_string = sprintf(TEXT_GREETING_GUEST, tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'), tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'));
}

return $greeting_string;
 }

////

 

The calls in this code are to the /catalog/includes/languages/english.php file:

define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', 'Welcome back <span class="greetUser">%s!</span> Would you like to see which <a href="%s"><u>new products</u></a> are available to purchase?');
define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL_RELOGON', '<small>If you are not %s, please <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a> with your account information.</small>');
define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a>? Or would you prefer to <a href="%s"><u>create an account</u></a>?');

 

Capice?

 

God luck,

Following Jason's excellent advice, I have managed to change the font styles and colours of the links as I wanted to. However the mouse hover colour set in stylesheet.css no longer operates.

 

Does anyone know how to correct this?

 

Thanks in anticipation.
