index.php woes

motorsportclocks · May 28, 2006

Hey, I've searched but can't find the answer to this.

I was editing /httpdocs/shop/includes/languages/english/index.php and long story short lost my original backup, as well as the modifications. :'(

I had to download a fresh OScommerce in order to get the original index.php code, which worked fine except that it had that stupid new user etc message. ANY attempts to edit this resulted in Parse errors all over the place, so I was going to come on here to ask for help/shell code to allow me to type a personalised message or get rid of the message entirely. .

However, now even the original code (copied and pasted back in from wordpad) is producing said errors! I can't work it out as it's literally the entire code just copied from the edit window, pasted into wordpad then pasted back into the window. I'm failing to understand how this is possible?

Just how stupid am I being?

Shop is www.ultimatemotorsportclocks.co.uk/shop if that helps.

Thanks very much for considering my problem. :(

can you post the code for that file

motorsportclocks · May 28, 2006

That's the lot. I guess Dreamweaver might have something to help find errors? I couldn't afford it though. Thanks :)

Thanks man, you've just saved me from many more hours of pain!

Not how do I replace the text? Do I have to do it via another module? If I make any changes at all for the "easy eh???" bit, it brings up parse errors?

Do I have to change something else as well as just editing that bit of text?

I feel really stupid, sorry for this. I've managed to do the rest without asking, but this and 2 other things are really causing me problems.

Oops: Now how do I replace text*

No problems

What you need to do is this

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'easy eh????');

change it to read what you want between the 2 ' - like so

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'change the text between the single quotes');

when you are putting something like

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'What's new?');

You need to make sure you escape the ' with a backslash like so

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'What\'s new?');

HTH

Ahah, that was the problem. I wasn't using the \' :D

You learn something new every day!

Is all text formatting in stylesheet.css, or do I need to edit the colour in the module itself for things such as this: http://ultimatemotorsportclocks.co.uk/shop/login.php

You can see it's black, but needs to be gray or it's invisible!

As far as stylsheet goes, I can't find any text that I've left black...

I couldn't find color codes in login.php, but then again you've seen how prone I am to mistakes. ;)

crash3903 · May 28, 2006

The font colors and sizes are controlled w/ the stylesheet. You'll find the file in catalog/stylesheet.css

Your smaller text (in the paragraphs) on the 'conditions' page is class "main",

in the stylesheet it looks like

TD.main, P.main {

font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;

font-size: 11px;

line-height: 1.5;

}

Your headings ("contact us" and "conditions of sale") are class "page heading",

in the stylesheet it looks like

TD.pageHeading, DIV.pageHeading {

font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;

font-size: 20px;

font-weight: bold;

color: #9a9a9a;

}

Woohoo! I now have a fully working shop again. :D

I have quick easy checkout (the latest version from the contrib. page on here) to install after my exams are done, then just tweaking (need to tidy up some buttons, get a larger logo at the top of the homepage) removing login requirement and getting ssl secured.

Then let the advertising commence!

Thanks so much man, I know it can be a pain dealing with beginners in any field but you've been very patient and clear! :)

Hello

I have the same problem. I deleted all the text in the define(MAIN_TEXT) section and I left it looking like this:

define('MAIN_TEXT', "); and I got a parse line #19 error message alsp a line 18 message when I made it look like this: ('MAIN_TEXT',); . I tried the define('TEXT_MAIN', 'easy eh ????'); and I got the parse line #19 back again. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
