Muldrick Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 So I have many pages on my old web, created with MSFrontpage. What's the easiest way to convert the text to HTML, without having to type it all, and instead use the copy and paste method. I copied and pasted text into MSWord, then saved it as a html, htm, and txt file. (tried each one) I then used AceHTML Freeware to convert it to html. I pasted the converterted text it into (this case) my shipping.php file and uploaded it. The page now comes up as an error, obviusly because of the pasted text. When I delete the pasted test, the page refreshes fine. So my question is (again), what's the proper/easiest/correct way of doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Without seeing the error it is difficult to say but I would suspect it is because you used a contraction (what's instead of what is). When you use such a word, you need to type it as what\'s, for example. If you create a page in any html editor, you can copy/paste it to the english directory for that file. For example, for the home page, you would open engish/index.php. Then find the TEXT_MAIN definition and past your code where the current text for that page is.

If your copy and pasting the code in to that page remember that the page already has <html> and <head> plus <title> tags in it. So when you copy and paste from another page remember to leave them out. so you dont have 2 sets of tags in the same page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscommerce is in PHP and there are many better editors available. For some of these go here. Even Dreamweaver is a bit better. However it is still possible to use html with php you just need to know how to insert it. For more osc basic design try here Here is an example of how to edit the shipping.php page. Open the file catalog/includes/languages/shipping.php Look for this command. define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'put your html in here'); Put what you like including html between the apostrophes. What ever you put in there will appear on the content of the shipping.php page. Hope this helps. Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes! Backup before making changes!!

I know about where to insert the edited text, in the 'TEXT_INFO....' (Thanks) My problem is that when I did that, it messed up the the page. So I wasn't editing it correctly. I seem to have missunderstood that my text needs to be edited to php, not html? I was editing it to html. I'm gonna try Crimson now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then open the .php file, copy the text, and enter it into my shipping.php file. Correct? What am I doing wrong, I entered it into the correct line ('TEXT_INFO...') but the (shipping) web page comes up with an error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/richard/public_html/eglobal-mart/includes/languages/english/shipping.php on line 28 I can only get it to work correctly if I actually type in text, but that would take years. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddp Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 sounds like a apostrohpe error of some kind. Post the shipping.php file here so we can have a look. Backup before making changes.

Muldrick Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 That's what I thought, but I'm not familiar enough to know wht is, or wht is not allowed.

ddp Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Your problem is that you have many dangling apostorphies. Read the second post in this thread it has the solution to your problem. If you have a word like what's in your text you need to have it like this what\'s what's wrong!! what\'s right!! The slash tells the php to ignore the upcoming apostrophe. There are tons of these in your text just add the slashes and all should be fine Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes! Backup before making changes!! You did do a backup? eh?
