2 Questions

[Tripme]

First off, just want to say thanks to everyone on these forums. I have been reading through tons of the topics and and learning a great deal about osCommerce.

 

I have two questions:

 

I wish to create two different 'Category' boxes. One would go on the left column and one on the right column. (They are for new and used categories....don't worry, not an adult shop :thumbsup: ) I don't mind if I have to update the contents of the boxes manually. I'm just not sure if I should just model the new boxes from, say, the information box, or if I should create my own box from scratch. I have limited knowledge in php (although I am learning :) ) and I don't know if there is just some simple way to create these boxes. I am just trying to get a basic shape up before I begin getting too 'pretty', but if you need to see anything or want to make suggestions the site is Atlantic Desks

 

 

Second, on a default store, it has the stuff at the top that says, "What's new here?" and the login links. I would like to remove those and move the login links elsewhere....except I cannot remember where they are located. I recall seeing them in one of the files but I just can't find which one it was.

 

Thats it for now...any help is greatly appreciated. If you need anymore information or if I need to be more specific, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

If you look at the documentation that comes with the oscommerce you will find out how to do everything you asked about ...adding a box and the includes/languages/english for the words modification....

[Tripme]

Ok, I figured out the boxes and have them added. That was easier than I thought it would be. Still looking for the default text at the top.....

 

Thanks for the reply

go to includes/languages/english

 

and then all the files in there have the text to there conrisponding pages, for examle includes/languages/english/index.php contain the default text for your index page

[Tripme]

I understand how to edit the text and such. I am just having a hard time find where this certain text is located or defined.

 

It looks like this:

 

What's New Here?

 

Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in? Or would you prefer to create an account?

 

 

 

It's not part of includes/languages/english/index.php...thats the first place I looked.

 

Is there some sort of greeting box that I am missing or something like that?

 

Thanks,

Sorry, don't mean to bump....

 

I found the "What's New Here?" text. It was a define at the bottom of english/index.php :-" Don't know how I missed that so many times.

 

Still cannot find the welcome user text.

This is the PHP code responsible for the greeting:

 

			<td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>

Thank you very much, exactly what I was looking for!
