Guest Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Hello I am just starting out with Oscommerce. I hve installed it and began experimenting with customization. I want to remove the language box from the right column. I used the text editor in administration to change code in 'catalog/includes/right_column.php' as follows. From: if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 8) != 'checkout') { include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'languages.php'); include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'currencies.php'); } To: if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 8) != 'checkout') { // include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'languages.php'); include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'currencies.php'); } I save the file. I refresh the page. However the box is still there in the right column, it has not been removed. What am I missing?
germ Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Have you tried clearing your browser cache? :unsure: If you use IE or Firefox, if you hold down the <Ctrl> key while doing a page refresh it forces the browser to reload the latest contents from the server. You may be looking at you PC's cache of the page. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Geesh....something so dead simple...this is what happens when you don't post support questions in the proper thread. In STS, simply remove the $languagebox tag from the template page. Poof. Done.

GREAT it worked. Thanks I was following the examples in the book 'OSCommerce Professional Edition' by David Mercer It did not mention changing the template file. Do you know of any books for Newbies that are thorough?
