Edit the front page text

[forest-fairy]

Well so far so good I think I edited the colours, now I want to edit the front page text .

I have read the details but I need bunny hop directions in simple english and I just dont understand

path to catelogue what where?? Is this something I do in ftp via dreamweaver?? like I did the colours. I went into the administration section big blue square oscommerce page and played around in there and went into file manager opened cattledog cannot find a file called languages/english and Tools just has all my files from server and oscommerce, so now I am batteling this one and any help would be appreciated

First off how to edit front page where is the file and how do I edit it and when I do, do I have to stay inbetween the TEXT_MAIN ' bla bla bla ' inbetween the those things ' '

Also iI have read and printed off all the knoweldge base stuff, and I am still confused.

Step 1 open what? in oscommerce files or in filemanage in my server files or in ftp ??

Step 2 ??

 

Thanks I appreciate any help as everyday is a learning day!! Lynn

OK I went looking and I found it in smart ftp. catalog file languages english index php so I opened it in Front Page in html and there were boxes on the sides I presume were the set up of the front page like grids

I saw the text in three grid type things, now do I just delete all that text and put in what I like?

do I have to do it between any formatted text code? or do I just delete the text in there and put in my own, as for the grid boxes on the side I see they must have something to so with the photos in the special boxes, when I edit products I presume they would change is that right?. Batteling along :'(

Thanks I await a reply so I can master the next step

If frontpage is like dreamweaver the design view in the panels is useless unless you are using STS. I do all my work in the code panel and open the page in my browser to see the results.

As for editing the text You will want to delete everything between the single quotes so it looks kike this:

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');
and put your text like this
define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Your text here');
