Which file changes the "welcome" message on the main page?

[Guest]

Version from 2003, Milestone 2.2 I believe.

 

I thought it was default .php in cart/includes/languages/English/ but when I made a change, the page was blank (fortunately backup is your friend).

 

But, last year my site was technically upgraded so I'm thinking the file has changed.

Pam, you define the Welcome text in catalog/includes/languages/english.php and you display the text in catalog/index.php near the end of the file after //default page. Search for TEXT_GREETING_GUEST throughout the site and you will find all instances of this so you can see where the text is defined and where it is called. This is how I find a lot of stuff. You could also search for "Welcome" or any other text and when you find the define entry, search for that. Hope this helps.

Thanks -- I don't have any text in english.php that I added when I set up the site in 2003 and that's what I need to change.

 

It's definitely not in the catalog/index.php page

<?php

header("Location: default.php");

exit;

?>

 

 

That's all that is on my page.

 

When I edit the default.php page, my site comes up a blank white page. When the site is loaded properly there is a huge amount of text in the center that I wrote myself, welcoming people to the website.

Pam, I'm running version 2.2 milestone 2, and all of my text is defined in the language files. Either in includes/languages/english.php, or includes/languages/english/filename.php. Do you have a local copy of the site? If so, try searching the site for part of the text that appears on your current home page, and you should be able to locate the correct file.

Is it a template?
