Front page text - need help to alter

[banannaboat]

I've recently taken over a client website which has some text in the middle of the page just on the first page index. It consists of a welcome message and text such as "welcome guest" and "would you like to log-in" etc.

 

I've been to the page editor and i can see a page called "home" but altering the text there does nothing so i guess some coding has been done elsewhere but I cant find it. I've looked in all the index pages but no luck yet.

 

There is also a long pink bar accross the top of the page, it appears to be empty and I need to get an image in there.

 

Can anyone help? the website is : www.geniuslearning.co.uk

 

thanks

Editing Page Texts

 

The text shown here can be modified in the following file, on each language basis:

 

[path to catalog]/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

That file can be edited manually, or via the Administration Tool with the Languages->English->Define or Tools->File Manager modules.

 

The text is set in the following manner:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project...');

 

The text highlighted in green may be modified - it is important to keep the define() of the TEXT_MAIN keyword. To remove the text for TEXT_MAIN completely, the following example is used where only two single quote characters exist:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

 

More information concerning the PHP define() function can be read here.
