Exactly what do you want to edit. Like me I was a complete noob with oscommerce but you need to spend some time finding out how it fits together. Once you know this then you will know which php files you need to edit. You need to know this if you are going to open a web shop because if it goes tits up there may not be a person on here that can help you so you need to know what you change and where you changed it.

 

If you want to update your privacy.php file with your own text then the_bear is right. If you open up the privacy.php and look for your some text 'enter your privacy information here' or something like that then you just replace that with your own text.

 

other than that I don't see what the problem is. Unless you give more info.

When entering content into a defined area, be sure to use \ (backslash) before an ' (apostrophe or single quote).

This is wrong: What's New?

This is right: What\'s New?

Also this might help-

 

If you are just editing text from the "place your shipping terms here" etc or whatever it says, you can edit the raw HTML. If you click to edit that file, and you get an empty, blank field, that means your HTML editor is enabled. You need to disable it to edit the raw HTML. All you need to do is unclick the box that says"

 

 

"use HTML editor - turns on HTML editor for editing web pages through the file manager. Disable this to edit with a regular text editor."

 

then you will see where it says "add your shipping terms here" and you can just change that text.

 

Hope that helps.
