How to change welcome text

[jorujuja]

Hello. I'm new here. My questions are:

1. How can I replace the welcome text in the index.php?

2. It says in the welcome text - "This is a default setup of the osCommerce project, products shown are for demonstrational purposes, any products purchased will not be delivered nor will the customer be billed. Any information seen on these products is to be treated as fictional." How can I activate the store and not be a "demo" only?

 

Thank you, I have other questions in mind but I'll reserve them as I go along developing the store.

One of the hardest things to do is read through so much text that seems "demo" rather than instructive. Your answer is in the demo text :)

 

...<b>Editing Page Texts</b>

 

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

 

includes/languages/english/index.php.

 

That file can be edited manually, or via the Administration Tool.

 

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', '');

go to this:

 

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

 

looks for define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is......');

 

Remove the 'This is...' and it will be this define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

 

Good luck

Thanks guys, I found it and was able to edit it.

1. But what about this "Welcome Guest" thinggy, how can I edit this?

2. Also how can I change the heading_title's color?

 

I'll be asking for more questions later on, so please bear with me.

3. Where's the tell-a-friend section here? I've activated it in the configuration. (http://dabsko.com/store/index.php)

4. When click on login or create an account, page does not exist, please help.

All full of questions aren't you. There are some helpful tips in some documention set up just for you.

 

You will have to read.

Should keep you busy for a while.

 

And just to answer your next question before you ask, All the editable text can be found in your languages folder. Where do I change the new products of the page heading? That would be in the languages/your language/index.php

Thanks. As I've said in the beginning, I'm new here; not really a programmer or sort of. I'm a designer and this is a learning experience for me. So any help from anyone is greatly appreciated.

I know it isn't easy in the begining and I am sure the documention in the packet could be better and point you to online help but just being told that all the editable text in in your languages folder would have been so much help.

 

Where do I change the wording on the payment page? Well, catalog/includes/languages/english/checkout_payment. The credit cards and shipping are under modules

 

Easy once you get a pointer.
