Desperate for help-Where do I start

[pgoutdoor]

I know this is so basic, but I set up all of my catagories and manufacturers and all of that, but I just don't understand where I go to change the front page

It still has the stuff oscommerce puts in there, so I just need some help finding where to enter my info.

Thanks to anyone willing to help me out!

Hi,

 

To edit text on the main page, go to your includes/languages/english/ folder and open up the file index.php. In index.php you will find a line of coding starting with define('TEXT_MAIN', '.......'). Anything that appears between the second pair of quotes ('.....') is the text that appears on your main page.

 

This is actually outlined step by step on your main page (at the link you provided above), just follow the steps there.

 

Then if you go to your main index.php file in the catalog folder (above the includes/ folder, it's a different index file from the one above), you will find towards the bottom of the code a line that says <td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></td>; here the TEXT_MAIN code calls on the text you define in the includes/languages/english/index.php file.

 

Let me know if this doesn't make sense.

Just in case the previous two posts are not enough for you, the osCommerce Knowledge Base will keep you busy for some time. After you finish, if you are willing to, reading all that, you come out as an osc expert. Guaranteed! :P
