Hi,

 

I'm trying to change about us page so I downloaded about us php script but didn't understand how to change the text?

 

Can somebody help me with this :rolleyes:

 

For more information you can check here

 

Looking forward to hear from you!

 

With Regards,

Meir

You have to download and edit the file in the english directory. Are you asking what file to edit or how to edit it?

I have the same question. I can edit the file. I just need to know which it is.

 

When I go into index I see this script.

 

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

 

However, when I go into the functions directory there are so many files so full of functions that I don't know where to begin to find customer greeting. And I don't like to mess with function files. THAT can get you into major trouble quickly when you don't know what you are doing.

I know that it is not proper nettiquette to reply to yourself. But I found it. So to the original poster. In the english file in the languages, toward the bottom there is this line..

 

define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST ....

 

Use a good text editor (not Word or any other word processor) and edit to what you want

Actually, justmeir should probably look in /catalog/includes/languages/english/about_us.php

 

The code you want to change is probably here:

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Put here your Privacy Notice information.');

In that code, change the text:

 

Put here your Privacy Notice information.

To what you want.

 

The main proviso is if you have a single tick mark (') in the code, you MUST precede it with a slash (\).

 

A rudimentary example:

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'I can\'t tell you what the privacy information is because I haven\'t edited the code on my site yet.<br><br>
It won\'t be very long until that happens, so you shouldn\'t have to wait much longer to find out.');

I've even inserted some HTML in the example because you'll need to use that there as well.

 

I hope this helps.

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

You're looking at the wrong file in the wrong folder.

 

Reread my last post, and check where I told you to look...

:-"

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Sir

 

Please can you help. I have downloaded a templte called oscdark which is excellent, and my site build is progressing well. However, I do not have a file 'catalog/includes/languages/english/about-us.php'?

 

Perhaps this was a deliberate removal by the people who built the template?

 

However, I would like to describe what my company does and place photographs alongside the text to paint a reasonable picture. Can you advise ?

 

Many thanks

 

Steve
