sjb47 Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24032 Oh too cool. Someone read it and is passing it on. Not quite as good as adding a Contribution, but it's a start at giving back to the community. Thank you, Paul. Made my day. Steven[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get alot more from finding out how osC works than you do with someone feeding you filenames and line numbers. That thread should really be made sticky.

germ Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Look in your "index.php" file in the root folder of your site. Search for TEXT_MAIN Copy/paste the line containing that phrase into this thread. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

♥Vger Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Do not look at editing the root index.php file. The TEXT_MAIN content to be edited is in the includes/languages/english/index.php file.

germ Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 That's the right place to look if you want to edit the content of "TEXT_MAIN". Removing it altogether requires an different approach.

♥Vger Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Removing it altogether requires an different approach. But who on earth would want to remove the text define in the root file, when all they have to do is to remove the text in the language level file and thereby leave the structure unchanged for future use?

germ Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 You can edit the text in the "includes/languages/english/index.php file", or you can just remove this (only the text in RED!!!): <td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></td> From the "index.php" file in the root folder. Y'all can decide what you want to do. I prefer the latter because then I don't have to remember where "TEXT_MAIN" is defined at, I don't have to traverse up the folder tree on the web site to alter it when required, I don't have to rely on data in the other file, and it also gives a good place to start adding HTML to your site to customize it (right where <?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?> used to be). It's just a matter of preference IMHO, both roads get you where you want to be. I prefer to have most of what I need in the "index.php" file right in front of me when I open it up for editing. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Vger Hi, when I was experimenting with templates... the instructions disappeared from the main page. I glanced at them a few times, but I did not memorize them :(. Now, after reading this thread, I am confused as to which indexphp file I ought to be editing. I "think" I should go to the one in the includes folder. Hope this works, I'll be back if I can't get it to work. Thanks for your help. PS. Also, I am not sure where to update the information for the home page into different languages.

Also, I am not sure where to update the information for the home page into different languages. OKay, success! Really strange thing though, in my languages. On my site the little flags say spanish, and dutch. But in my ftp/directories, I'm having spanish and german. So, really, I'm unsure which is correct. For my first product upload test, I did translations in Dutch, but I'm wondering if it should have been in german? There is a difference, right?

(ducks) Dutch and German are of course different languages. However if it says Deutsch, then that is of course the German word for "German" :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
