HELP!! with index.php file!!!!

[francellasboutique]

Hello! I've been searching through previous posts and tried all suggested solutions, however nothing seems to be working with this file! I want to get rid of the default oscommerce text on the main catalog page, but I always end up getting an error, or a blank page! <_<

 

Here's my includes/languages/english/index.php file :

 

<?php
/*

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome!');
define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'New Products For %s');
define('TABLE_HEADING_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS', 'Upcoming Products');
define('TABLE_HEADING_DATE_EXPECTED', 'Date Expected');

if ( ($category_depth == 'products') || (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) ) {
 define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Let\'s See What We Have Here');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_IMAGE', '');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_MODEL', 'Model');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS', 'Product Name');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_MANUFACTURER', 'Manufacturer');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_QUANTITY', 'Quantity');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_PRICE', 'Price');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_WEIGHT', 'Weight');
 define('TABLE_HEADING_BUY_NOW', 'Buy Now');
 define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS', 'There are no products to list in this category.');
 define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS2', 'There is no product available from this manufacturer.');
 define('TEXT_NUMBER_OF_PRODUCTS', 'Number of Products: ');
 define('TEXT_SHOW', '<b>Show:</b>');
 define('TEXT_BUY', 'Buy 1 \'');
 define('TEXT_NOW', '\' now');
 define('TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES', 'All Categories');
 define('TEXT_ALL_MANUFACTURERS', 'All Manufacturers');
} elseif ($category_depth == 'top') {
 define('HEADING_TITLE', 'What\'s New Here?');
} elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') {
 define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Categories');
}
?>

 

 

I was receiving an error before, (something about unexpected T_STRING) but now I just get a blank page :blink:

 

Thanks in advance...all help is GREATLY appreciated!

To change your main text focus on this line ..

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome!');

 

it's critically important to keep the

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', '

and the

 

');

 

What you want the page to say goes in between.

 

e.g.

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is my new page<p />I have finally got rid of the old text');

Perhaps you're looking to change the wording..."This is the default setup of".... if so, try looking in includes\languages\english\index.php. Just put your text after -- define('TEXT_MAIN', 'new text here';

 

Hope this helps!

thanks so much for your replies! However, I've been doing this and my page still comes up blank. I even uploaded the previous/default code and my page still comes up blank. So I don't understand why the page still isn't showing up when I replaced the code with the default..
