[Iniquityclothing]

hi how can i delete "whats new here" the default welcome text at the top of my main page, if its not possible to delete then maybe change it to say something else?

I added a little bit of javascript code to a couple of files, and have it set up now so that the heading echos the current category. Let me know if this would interest you.

yeah thats an idea, please tell more...

 

1) In catalog/index.php add the following immediately before the </head> tag:

 

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function addHeading() {

var catFinder = document.getElementById('categoryFinder').innerHTML.split('">');

var category = catFinder[catFinder.length - 1];

document.getElementById("categoryHeading").innerHTML = category.split('</a>')[0];

}

 

//-->

</script>

 

2) Add the following inside the opening body tag:

 

onLoad="addHeading();"

 

3) Near line 239, there is a tag that says, <td class="pageHeading">. Change this to read:

 

<td class="pageHeading" id="categoryHeading">

 

4) Remove or comment out the following bit of code:

 

<?php echo Heading_Title; ?>

 

5) In the file catalog/includes/header.php, find the <td> tag that contains the following bit of code:

 

$breadcrumb -> trail

 

Inside that opening <td> tag, add id="categoryFinder"

 

That should do it....let me know if you have any problems.

I was looking for a solution for the same issue and found this thread. I did the above and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much for assistance!!!!

 

(That thing was so annoying! Now I need to get rid of "Let's see what we have here"....)

I believe that you need to go to the file catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php, and find the line that reads define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Let\'s see what we have here'); Replace the offending text with something more suitable.
