Amost there, just 2 weird things I cant figure out...

[Guest]

Well I must admit this prodcut is pretty robust. The default layout is really nice and simple to look at. Although PHP is a bit overwhelming. So if anyone could please help with these small issues, I would be very happy indeed!

 

 

On my main page, I managed to edit out all the demo text (luck). Now I still have "MAIN_TEXT" just sitting there with the other stuff that I want on the page. I cant find those words in the index.html :(

 

 

How do I change the text in these following pages? PHP is so confusing compared to html.

 

Shipping & Returns

Privacy Notice

Conditions of Use

Contact Us

 

When I open the files, I can not find the text to change.

 

Well any help would be great. I can offer 4 tickets to our festival if the solution finder wants them...

I am new to this as well, so I only have the answer to your last question. (It took me some searching to find it the other day)

 

Go into the includes\languages\<selected language> folder to find the php files. They are not the ones in the main folder as you would expect.

 

Hope this helps.

They are all in catalog/includes/languages/english/+whatever file

 

The main page text:- catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php the part you have edited looks like this:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'YOUR TEXT IS HERE');

 

Make sure you have it like that. Also make sure with any text you edit, if you include apostrophes or quotes, you must escape them with a backslash \ If you don't you will get an error. e.g.

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'O\'Reilly\'s Wife wouldn\'t bake a cake. \"It\'s not right!\" he exclaimed.');

The backslash tells PHP you want it to take the apostrophe/quote literally and not take it as the end of string.

 

In the other files you wish to edit, shipping.php, privacy.php and conditions.php, the part you need is:

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Put here your Shipping & Returns information.');

Or it will say Conditions info or Privacy info, depending on what file you're editing.
