Top Navigation

[2johnsons]

I just started with osCommerce and Im finding my way around at a decent pace, but Im stuck trying to figure out how to change the top navigation text " Top,Catalog" which appears in the left top corner along with "My account, cart contents, and check out" which appear in the top right hand corner.

/catalog/includes/languages/english.php

 

// header text in includes/header.php
define('HEADER_TITLE_CREATE_ACCOUNT', 'Create an Account');
define('HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT', 'My Account');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS', 'Cart Contents');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT', 'Checkout');
define('HEADER_TITLE_TOP', 'Top');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Catalog');
define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF', 'Log Off');
define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN', 'Log In');

define('HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT', 'My Account');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS', 'Cart Contents');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT', 'Checkout');
define('HEADER_TITLE_TOP', 'Top');
define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Catalog');
define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF', 'Log Off');
define('HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN', 'Log In');

 

Thank you, maybe you can answer a questions for me. Why is "Top and Catalog " in the top navigation bar and which and what are the purposes for each one? shouldn't it be Home?

They get used in application_top.php

 

// include the breadcrumb class and start the breadcrumb trail
 require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'breadcrumb.php');
 $breadcrumb = new breadcrumb;

 $breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_TOP, HTTP_SERVER);
 $breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG, tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));

"Top" points to the root folder.

 

"Catalog" is self explanatory.

 

If you install in the root folder they both point to the same place.

 

And whether you want to call it "Top" or "Home" is just personal preference.
