STS and index.php $Content

[falswrx]

Is there an easy way to modify the $Content of the Index.php pages with STS or do we absolutely need to edit define('TEXT_MAIN'.......

 

 

Thanks for your recommendation

Hello Sebastian and welcome to the osCommerce Forum.

 

:thumbsup: For a faster response to issues related to STS, please post those questions in the STSv4 Forum (see link in my signature below).

 

As for the main text, you should remove the text in the index.php file. This is a one time procedure and once it it done you will not have to make anymore edits to the PHP files as you will be doing this in your STS templates.

 

Make the following edit:

In your catalog/includes/languages/*each language*/index.php file, find:

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of osCommerce Online Merchant. Products shown are for demonstrational purposes. <b>Any products purchased will not be delivered nor will the customer be billed</b>. Any information seen on these products is to be treated as fictional.<br><br><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/1.gif') . '</td><td class="main" valign="top"><b>Error Messages</b><br><br>If there are any error or warning messages shown above, please correct them first before proceeding.<br><br>Error messages are displayed at the very top of the page with a complete <span class="messageStackError">background</span> color.<br><br>Several checks are performed to ensure a healthy setup of your online store - these checks can be disabled by editing the appropriate parameters at the bottom of the includes/application_top.php file.</td></tr><td class="main" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES .

Change to the following:

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');
