Trusten Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 I cannot locate the file that controls the store title. I changed it in the admin area and it still won't change on the pages.
Ajeh Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 You will note that on all the pages there is a section of code: <title><?php echo TITLE ?></title> If you were to do a search in windows ... which I know you are racing off to do now :shock: you would find it in the /includes/languages/english.php et. al. all other language files. // page title define('TITLE', 'The WebMakers Corner - Free-Call for Price'); Granted you can use your own name rather than mine :wink:
Trusten Posted September 20, 2002 Author Posted September 20, 2002 yes, i did see that command, i just couldn't figure otu wehre it was coming from. honestly, this is a good cart, but it really is hard to nav through if you are a newbie. btw, inserting images, any help please??
Ajeh Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 Most anywhere you want to add an image, using the function tep_image is helpful. This is in the /includes/functions/html_output.php file. You can look through the code to see how it is used in other parts then apply it to how you want to use it.
Trusten Posted September 20, 2002 Author Posted September 20, 2002 is there any tutoral on how to customize the look of the cart? I can't even figure out where the bckground color for the tables is coming from. I thought it was the stylesheet but i don't think it is.
drgroove Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 titles and a lot of the text can be found here: /catalog/includes/languages/[your language here, probably english]/default.php - there are a ton of files in here, check them each for more stuff to edit colors and the like can usu. be gotten at here: /admin/includes/application_top.php /catalog/includes/application_top.php I agree, the information provided for newbies is a bit lacking... good thing they've provided this forum!
drgroove Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 its in the default.php page of the english directory... seriously, just go through there, you'll see most of what you're looking for.
Trusten Posted September 20, 2002 Author Posted September 20, 2002 seriously, I am going through. i found the colors before you responded, but i couldn't find the intro. so sorry and you can't say "go through", there are SO many pages.
Ajeh Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 One thing that is really helpful is just using the Windows File Search feature and search your /catalog directory on your computer for what you are looking for. As you get more familiar with the code, you will better be able to anticipate where something might be. As to text, most is in /includes/application_top.php or /includes/language/english.php or /includes/language/english/*.php If it is a shipping module text try: /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/shipping_modules_name.php If it is a payment module text try /includes/languages/english/modules/payment/payment_modules_name.php You will find most of the main files like /catalog/default.php - /includes/languages/english/default.php /catalog/shopping_cart.php - /includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php etc. etc. etc. Just take your time ... it's in there :listen:
Trusten Posted September 20, 2002 Author Posted September 20, 2002 alright, thank you. will do. :o) btw, would i have to edit each language the same way? like german and spanish?
Ajeh Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 Only if you want them to understand what you are trying to say in german and spanish :shock:
horus Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 :huh: Thanks for the info, it helped me as I've been trying to change the title also. I have another question that might be common. How do I edit the links on the added navigation bar? I'm a newbie, so when I try to edit the added_application_top.php file, I mess everything up. Should I even touch this file? How can I change the links?
bsharke Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Hi Linda.......while trying to find out how to change the title on each of my products I have listed on my website http://www.blacklightshopantiques.com I came across your reply on a thread saying "One thing that is really helpful is just using the Windows File Search feature and search your /catalog directory on your computer for what you are looking for. " I haven't a clue as to getting to my /catalog directory or finding my windows file search feature. How do I get to the windows file search. Are you referencing the browser window or what. As you can see I am a real fledgling with this but trying my to overcome it. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bill Thanks Billy

Guest Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 I really think they should add this variable to the config screen so you do not need to go into the lanaguage files to change this.

magicmonkey Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 It would be a really good idea to add the title variable to the config menu! Whenever I try to change the title variable in the english.php file, I get parse T string error and the site crashes!! I have tried doing it many times with the same result. Could someone tell me how I can change the variable without this happening? Yours hopefully, J

First the do NOTs. Do Not use the file manager. Open up the respective files (back up first) in text format, change whatever you need to change and save the file. Use your ftp program (or fantastico - as I did) to upload to proper folder. Hope this helps.
magicmonkey Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Hi Mikey Thanks, I edited in dreamweaver and ftp'd it back up with explorer. Works at last! :D J
