new user, needing basic help

I am a new user of OSC and my headings and titles all have the underscore thing going on, for instance: every title does something like this, TEXT_GREETING_TEXT. How do I change all of this? Also, where do I go to set my shipping and returns info? EEK!!!

 

Thanks ahead of time for any help,

When you see capital letters, like TEXT_GREETING_TEXT, it means there is a missing definition in your shop (or it can't be found). Those definitions are in the includes/lanugages/english/ directory in the file by the same name as the page. So if the capital letters are seen on the privacy page, then look in the privacy.php file. You will also find the shipping.php file in that directory, which is where you would edit the text for shipping & returns.

Jack, thank you for your help. I've managed to type in my shipping information. i am still having the problem with capitalized text headings on every aspect of my pages. In the html part, it says

define('HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT', 'Create an Account'); So, the heading on that part of my catalog should appear as Create an Account (in theory). All of these seem to be correct, yet none of the words in 'these quotes' are appearing. I hope this makes sense. Do you have any thoughts?

You are missing the defines in includes/languages/english.php. You can get a stock replacement by downloading the oscommerce package.

I actually downloaded a second OS Commerce from my internet hosting company and copied the entire english.php from it and pasted it on my first version. It is still doing the same thing.

Here is a short example of the part of the page near the beginning...does anything look funny or out of place.

 

 

// Global entries for the <html>tag define('HTML_PARAMS','dir="LTR" lang="en"'); // charset for web pages and emails define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1'); // page title define('TITLE', 'osCommerce'); // header text in includes/header.php define('HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT', 'Create an Account'); define('HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT', 'My Account'); define('HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS', 'Cart Contents'); define('HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT', 'Checkout'); define
