I'm using an altered Template and I've seen on the stock version of OsC where they have an open space to type like a welcome message. Which file would I have to edit to change that?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok I'm guessing that one of the files is missing the code to include the Text_Main so which file would that be in?

oh look at the first line of the code you posted before define('TEXT_MAIN', 'put your text here');

 

I'm not understanding what you are saying sorry. But here is all of my code for the index.php file (I hope this is allowed)

 

<?php

if ( ($category_depth == 'products') || (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) ) {

ok in includes/languages/english/index.php

 

replace this:

with this:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'put your text here');

 

replace put your text here with what you want to be displayed on the page..

Nope that didn't work. I changed it to that and still only showing products on main page. I'm guessing because it's a template I might have to change something like application_top.php or something else. Not sure but I'm guessing one of those files is missing something to prompt the TEXT_MAIN function.???

did you upload the file to the server in the correct place and refresh the page?

 

I edited in the File Manager in my Cpanel. Do you see it on my site? http://www.snsdealz.com ?

okay now that you put up a link tell what you want to change?

 

I don't want to change anything on the left side but the right side. I want to put something like a welcome message on top of the products their, where I can have current promotions/sells and what not. I'm going to be adding the Point Module and wanted to have a small intro to that with a link with more information.

looking at the page source I see this:

 

<!-- body_text //-->

<td width="100%" class="col_center">

 

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="cont_header_txt">

<tr>

 

<td>What's New Here?</td>

</tr>

</table>

 

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

<tr><td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;">

 

 

I don't know how your template is constructed but if you search for this bit of code you can insert what you want into this table..

Ok I think I found something but it is in

/includes/boxes/whats_new.php

 

 

The RED is where I'm guessing I would change or try to change/add my coding? What you think?

 

if ($random_product = tep_random_select("select products_id, products_image, products_tax_class_id, products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " where products_status = '1' order by products_date_added desc limit " . MAX_RANDOM_SELECT_NEW)) {

?>

<!-- whats_new //-->

<tr>

<td class="">

<?php

$random_product['products_name'] = tep_get_products_name($random_product['products_id']);

$random_product['specials_new_products_price'] = tep_get_products_special_price($random_product['products_id']);

 

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_WHATS_NEW);

 

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false, tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW));

 

if (tep_not_null($random_product['specials_new_products_price'])) {

 

$name_prod = '

<span><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id']) . '">' . substr( $random_product['products_name'],0,MAX_DESCR_NAME_BOX) . '</a></span>

';

 

$whats_new_price = '<s>' . $currencies->display_price($random_product['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($random_product['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</s>     ';

$whats_new_price .= '<span class="productSpecialPrice">' . $currencies->display_price($random_product['specials_new_products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($random_product['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</span>';

} else {

$whats_new_price = '<span class="productSpecialPrice">'.$currencies->display_price($random_product['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($random_product['products_tax_class_id'])).'</span>';

 

$name_prod = '

<span><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id']) . '">' . substr( $random_product['products_name'],0,MAX_DESCR_NAME_BOX) . '</a></span>

You want this to be put in under Top Selling Items and above the products correct?

Post your catalog/index.php file so we can see what it is calling so we can get you to it.

Well actually I want it on above "Top Selling Items" if at all possible. I was messing around with it and I can put it under "Top Selling Items" but not above that. Should I still post the index.php file?

Thats a little more tricky because that could throw off the layout of your design. If you have to have it above then I would almost suggest putting it in the header.php, but then it would show on every page and I don't think thats what you want. Although I'm sure it could be worked in with an if statement.

How exactly do want it to appear on your site?

Well for right now I just want to have it right over the "Top Selling Items" or even under the the MENU - NEW PRODUCTS - SPECIALS - MY ACCOUNT - CONTACT US.

 

My main thing is I just want it lined up right. I'm sure once I actually figure out how to get it to show in one of those places I can work it to look right. But if I can do an "if statement" in the Header that would be GREAT. Could I use the same one as it uses in the index.php? I know how to edit php but don't KNOW IT if you know what I mean.

Then I would suggest the header.php for now. Lets atleast get something there.Post your header.php and what you want in there and we will give it a shot.

BTW I know exactly what you mean. I'm the same way

Find this section

 

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="height:357px">

<tr>

<td>

<br style="line-height:15px">

<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('index.php')?>"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES.'p.jpg')?></a><br>

<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('index.php')?>"><?php echo tep_image_button('m1.gif')?></a><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('products_new.php')?>"><?php echo tep_image_button('m2.gif')?></a><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('specials.php')?>"><?php echo tep_image_button('m3.gif')?></a><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('account.php')?>"><?php echo tep_image_button('m4.gif')?></a><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('contact_us.php')?>"><?php echo tep_image_button('m5.gif')?></a><br>

<?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES.'li.gif')?><br>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

<!-- end -->

 

Inbetween the </table> and </td> towards the bottom add this

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
 <tr>
   <td><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></td>
 </tr>
</table>

Then in your catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php file edit define('TEXT_MAIN', 'your info here');

Like

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to SnS Dealz - They Got the Bapes?<BR>
Yeah We Got It 2');

I used the text_main part because it does not appear that you are using it. If you are using then change TEXT_MAIN to something els in both files.
