First Timer has a few Questions

[mjfontec]

Hi All,

 

Just discovered and installed the software yesterday. I'm hoping someone can assist me with the following customizations:

 

1. I have a book publishing website so I'd like to change 'Manufacturers' to Authors. Could that be done easily?

 

2. I'd like to remove the language and currency from the homepage, is there an easy way?

 

3. I'd like to turn off the 'review' option, can I do that?

 

4. In the admin, I'd like to remove the 'Post Code' option as most of the users are from the US. Can this be done?

 

5. I'd like to have the country default to the US.

 

6. I'd like to have the State option automatically show the drop down box.

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

 

Regards,

Mike

To get you going:

 

- change Manufacturers in includes/languages/english.php.

 

- open the file the laguage is being displayed in (includes/left_column.php or right_column.php) and remove the line of code that has languages in it.

No prob getting the languages/currency removed, but could not get the Manufacturers to rename to Authors? Any other ideas along with the other questions I had?

 

Thanks

To change the Manufacturers as Jack stated above go to your includes/languages/english.php

Find the code below. It should be on line 76. Aleast it is on mine.

('BOX_HEADING_MANUFACTURERS', 'Manufacturers')

 

Then simply change the text 'Manufacturers' to in the last part to whatever you choose.

('BOX_HEADING_MANUFACTURERS', 'Authors')

5. I'd like to have the country default to the US.

Im new to this aswell but if your asking what I think then in your admin>Configuration click over the word Country then click Edit on the right side of the page. There you can change and save your country.

 

If thats not what your asking Im sorry just trying to help.

Thanks, I was able to get Manufatcturers changed to Authors.

 

Anybody know how I can remove the Post Code option? Also, how can I make the country show up as US and the State have the drop down box?

 

One more question, what wysiwyg editor do you all recommend?

 

Thanks

Mike

The postal code is needed in the shop to calculate shipping correctly so it shouldn't be removed.
