novation Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I have recently purchased some webspace with a pre installed oscommerce store - this is the demo version of the store... http://www.favhost.com/store3/ What I need to do (I am still learning a lot :blush: ) is to change the URL that the IBM part of the store front (in the top centre) and the Projector at the bottom of the left column point to. Or if at all possible, remove them as links all together. Im pulling my hair out as to what file does this, or even if it can be done through the admin panel settings Any help would be appreciated J.

♥Vger Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Go to your osC admin panel, go to Catalog and edit the products. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novation Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 Go to your osC admin panel, go to Catalog and edit the products. Vger I have deleted all the products in the catalog as I will be putting the stock on in a week or 2, once I have updated all the images on the site. I just want to take the URL away from the IMB Banner part, and do the same for the Smaller advert in the left column (or failing that, change the URL completely for that one) Any ideas? Thanks for the response :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novation Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 there are some clever guys on here, surely someone must know how to remove the URLs / change what they point to? this is the store as it is now, as you can see, because I deleted all the demo products, the adverts I am talking about point to nothing... http://www.cityrecords.co.uk/store/ again, any help is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Rush, I'm not clear: are you wanting just to remove the links but leave those two ads there, or instead are you wanting to remove those graphics as well as the links. Obviously, as Vger instructed, you have removed the products those links pointed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main IBM one, I will be changing the graphics to a banner, of which I dont want a URL And on the bottom left one, I will again be changing the Graphics, however I want that to link to another website, and not a product. Is this possible at all? Im still a bit of a newbie with OSC Regards John :) looks like the link is just in the index.php which is in languages\english HTH Giovanna just had a look, and cant find a reference to it in that file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this possible at all? Im still a bit of a newbie with OSC Regards John :) just had a look, and cant find a reference to it in that file John, absolutely, what you want to do can be done. I would go to your catalog/index.php file and poke around in there to find the location where it's calling up those images (the IBM is m17.jpg and the PlusV is m24.gif). I don't know if you have them hardwired into the index page, or if they're brought in via script. You can either do the surgery right where they're invoked and hardcode your alternate image locations and target url's there, or else you can use the same script format as may exist, and do your surgery instead in the files that are being called at those points. I'm using TextPad to do my raw editing. However there are lots of good products available for that. I just saw some discussion on that this morning in this forum.

Troy Hi Troy By the looks of it (I have searched for the image filenames), they are brough in via script (unfortunatly lol) so Im just having a look through now to see if I can work out exactly where abouts they are mentioned, and how they are mentioned - wish me luck lol :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
