Sweet! That happened to me yesterday - four hours later I discovered that I had used an apostrophy in the text I'd written (instead of the code for one) and it had closed the statement. As soon as I corrected the syntax it worked fine. Wish someone would have told me!

Nope don't seem to have done that.

Hopefully it is just something simple

that is what is in my index.php file.

Any ideas on where i went wrong?

[jpweber]

Your error is here:

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Let's See What We Have Here');

 

Instead, you need to replace it with this:

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Let\'s See What We Have Here');

 

 

Always put the \ before an apostrophe. Good luck,

 

Jason

[jpweber]

Sorry -- looked some more. You'll get more errors. You had some extra single quotation marks, and another part there you didn't put the \ ....

 

I changed around the beginning contact us link, too. Just give 'em the link right there instead of telling them to look for the link in another part of the page. Keep things simple ;) ... Just take this code for your page, and copy and paste it OVER your old code, and this will work fine:

nope no luck

[♥Vger]

Or try uploading a default (unedited) index.php and start again. But this time don't try and edit the files using the osCommerce File Manager. Download the file via FTP and edit it in a plain text editor like Notepad, Text Pad, or Crimson Editor (not Word, or Wordpad).

 

Vger

[sweetly_screwed_up]

how do i do that?

[jpweber]

Here ... just take mine, which works just fine. Make sure that you're in your ADMIN section, and the define languages section, and editing index.htm there ...

errr .. index.php ...

[♥Vger]

You download the osCommerce 2.2 MS2 zip file from downloads at www.oscommerce.com, unzip it on your computer and upload the catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php file to the correct folder on your website using FTP.

 

Vger

[jpweber]

So between

<font face="arial" size="2">The Vision

 

and

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="fixit.js"></script>

<br><br>

 

Put your own stuff, preferably:

[sweetly_screwed_up]

none of that worked either.

:(

[shootingstar]

I am struggling with the same trouble. I changed one word on includes/english/index.php and got parse error, unexpected t_string on line blah, blah , blah. I didn't change any code. I finally gave up and loaded a brand new page and am still getting errors. Can't figure out trouble. Should I be using something besides the file manager to edit. Have edited all of this before with no problem. Whole site is down until I can figure it out!!!! Thanks

[shootingstar]

Yeah, Finally got mine working. Maybe this will help you. I have been using the admin File manager to edit for a couple of years, no problem....suddenly anything I tried to edit using it gave me parse error, unexpected t_string error, etc. I got this error even when I just deleted one letter. Finally gave up and went into my server's file manager (not the oscommerce admin manager), copied and pasted the original file from the original zip file, typed in my new text and everything worked great. Had to see one more time what had gone wrong. Tried oscommerce admin file manager to edit just one letter of text and got error messages again. Something is seriously wrong with oscommerce file manager. Try a fresh index page and then edit it with anything but oscommerce file manager. Hope you get it fixed!!

[sweetly_screwed_up]

nope still not working.

I pasted in those codes etc but all i am getting is a blank page.

Does anyone know someone who I could hire to fix it and the charges?

[jpweber]

Yeah ..... www.getafreelancer.com

[jpweber]

Try doing this, first:

 

1) Go to www.yoursite.com/catalog/admin (whatever the path to your admin is).

 

2) Log in to your admin.

 

3) Under "Localization", click "Languages".

 

4) In the Admin/Languages subcategory, click "Details".

 

5) This will bring you to the "Define Language" page.

 

6) From here, click "index.php". This is where you're supposed to do all the editing for your admin/includes/languages/english/index.php page!

 

7) Copy and paste the good, clean code in -- like the one I suggested, and click "save".

 

8) Open a web browser, clean your cache so you don't get old web pages (delete temporary internet files), and go to your site. See it's working. Refresh if necessary.

 

Give it a try.

[sweetly_screwed_up]

nope no luck.

This is strting to frustrate me.

I appreciate all your help.

[sweetly_screwed_up]

I did it!!

Thanks so much for all your guys help.

I ended up uploading all the index files again and restarting.

I used the link for contact us like you suggested.

I already did a back up just in case.

:D
