install the contribution Define MainPage & Paypal

[Guest]

I have changed the main page text 2 times and get errors everytime I change it then end up reloading the entire store because that's the only way I knew how to fix it. Now I have it looking pretty good but I need to add my own text to the front of the store and found the post below. My question is, where can I find the contribution DefineMainPage so I can change the main page text through the Admin section (I'm assuming that is the same admin I logged into to set up the store).

 

4. … Change the default text on the front page?

Go to catalog/includes/languages/English/index.php

Find the following line that starts with the following (about line 13 – usually the first one ) and change it to what you want it to say

CODE

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup …… . PROJECT_VERSION . '</b></font>.');');

 

An easier way to do this is to install the contribution Define MainPage then you can change the default text whenever you like through the Admin section

 

SECOND QUESTION:

I want to use paypal but not sure which one. I thought standard so there wasn't a monthly fee, but I do not know what all the variable are they ask for.

Your Private Key

The location of your Private Key to use for signing the data. (*.pem)

 

 

Your Public Certificate

The location of your Public Certificate to use for signing the data. (*.pem)

 

 

PayPals Public Certificate

The location of the PayPal Public Certificate for encrypting the data.

 

 

Your PayPal Public Certificate ID

The Certificate ID to use from your PayPal Encrypted Payment Settings Profile.

 

 

Working Directory

The working directory to use for temporary files. (trailing slash needed)

 

 

OpenSSL Location

The location of the openssl binary file.

 

Are these all necessary to get paypal to work? I tried placing an order and it only showed credit cards which we are not set up for.

Thanks for your help!! I am not a programmer and am just plunking away at this.

Ok, I found the contribution for the Define MainPage:

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4563 but I do not know how to install them.

I went to http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/download.php and downloaded the files there. NOW I'M REALLY CONFUSED.

Where do I install these? I need some help please. I am not a programmer but have almost got this site done. I need step-by-step :-)

Thanks!!!

Thank you! I'll try them all.

One more question. How do I get rid of this

This product was added to our catalog on Monday 28 July, 2008.

It appears below all products. Is there any good reference books to purchase? I spend so much time lurking in forums trying to find my answers :-)

Open catalog/product_info.php and look for this block of code.

 

<?php

} else {

?>

<tr>

<td align="center" class="smallText"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_DATE_ADDED, tep_date_long($product_info['products_date_added'])); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php

}

 

Comment // the line

 

<?php

} else {

?>

<tr>

<td align="center" class="smallText"><?php //echo sprintf(TEXT_DATE_ADDED, tep_date_long($product_info['products_date_added'])); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php

}

 

You can search amazon for "oscommerce" books

 

As far as Paypal keys, certificates, certificate ID, etc., you don't need them if you're testing(sandbox) your payment module.

If you want to use them on a live website, you'll need to generate them to work

ok, because I am a novice, I tried the EASY installation. Looked like things were fine - at least my store is still there but now when I try to login to the admin side of the store, I get

http://bradsgunsandgear.com/store/admin/FILENAME_LOGIN

What do I need to adjust to get in and correct that?
