it will be in index.php ... but my own is so heavily edited (with the greeting removed) I have nothing to work on ... can you post the relevant part from index.php that contains the php code that calls in the greeting message and I'll show you what needs removing

includes/languages/english.php

 

 

define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', 'Welcome back <span class="greetUser">%s!</span> Would you like to see which <a href="%s"><u>new products</u></a> are available to purchase?');

define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL_RELOGON', '<small>If you are not %s, please <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a> with your account information.</small>');

define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Shopper!</span>');

 

Erase the define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Shopper!</span>');

Coeli, Thank you!

 

But... I just tried it and now I'm getting this text in it's place:

 

TEXT_GREETING_GUEST

 

Any ideas?

 

I'll try doing a search of the site for that particular text and see what I find...

I DID IT!!! I FEEL SMART! (this will only last until for 5 minutes tops!)

 

There are 2 steps to getting rid of that greeting. Follow these instructions below:

 

HOW TO DELETE THE GREETING ON THE HOME PAGE “WELCOME GUESTS”

 

STEP ONE: go to page: includes/languages/english.php

 

And cancel out (// ) the following script

 

define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', 'Welcome back <span class="greetUser">%s!</span> Would you like to see which <a href="%s"><u>new products</u></a> are available to purchase?');

define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL_RELOGON', '<small>If you are not %s, please <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a> with your account information.</small>');

define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a>? Or would you prefer to <a href="%s"><u>create an account</u></a>?');

 

STEP TWO: go to Includes/functions/general.php and cancel out line 994

// return $greeting_string;

OR

 

Edit index.php by removing the following code:

          <tr>
           <td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>
         </tr>
         <tr>
           <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
         </tr>

 

Should work just as effectively
