Opening Store

[Dabitz]

Well, I still have plenty of work to do but I need help with something very basic.

 

How do I edit the opening copy on the store home page? The text that says: This is a demonstration online-shop, any products purchased will not be delivered nor billed. Any information seen on these products are to be treated fictional...

 

I will be using PayPal as the only method for payment. Any suggestions about that?

 

Thanks for your help... this looks like a great tool and you guys have done a great job.

Any changes to the body text, titles, anything, on any page is always found in the languages file. So if the main page (home in your inference) is /catalog/default.php then go to /catalog/includes/languages/english/default.php for the text. Similarly if you wanted to change something in /catalog/checkout_process.php then go to /catalog/includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php. I found that the format is the same always. Even if you are changing things in modules - say you want to change text to /catalog/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php - then go

to /catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/flat.php.

There is a system! Oh and of course I am directing you to the English directory coz I'm assuming that you have an English speaking site - if not its the same just use the appropriate directory instead of English.

 

Made me understand thing a whole lot better

 

 

Hope that helps...

Thanks for your help. I did had search for an answer and did not find an answer at least right away. I think my confusion was because I did not know what to change thru templates and what to change thru the admin panel. For examples, I still don't know where to set the text for

I now guess is on the templates since I did not find a way to change that on the admin panel. Sorry if I bothered you with my question. You are using phpBB for your boards which is a great bulletin board system, but I think the search funtion is a little weak. I use it myself on another site...

 

Thanks again!

you cannot change these via the admin - you must go straight to the php pages for these changes

 

your question was definitely not a bother - that is what everyone is here for - the search feature is a little weak -anyway, if you have any more questions the docs that mattice ( i think) mentioned above are a great resource.

 

Good luck!

An easy way to find where to change text is to do a search for the text string. Both Windows and Linux have utilities for this. Say you want to change "Post Code" to "Zip Code". Do a search for all files containing the string "Post Code" and it will point you to the file that contains the string. Then open the file with a text editor and make the change.
