Personalisation of main page

[ahaali]

hi,

 

can anyone tell me how can i change everything on the main page of my site where it says 'Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in? Or would you prefer to create an account?'?

 

i want to change the colours of the page and replace the text already there with my own.

 

my prices ar not showing up on my site when i have updated everything from admin. the prices are coming up as '0'?

 

one last thing is that my manufacturers list is not changing on my site.

 

if anyone has the answere to these question please help me as i am very short of time with setting up my site.

 

thanks

For prices being 0 in catalog/inlcudes/languages/english.php change this line to whatever your default currency is

 

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD');

 

For the text in catalog/index.php you will find near the bottom

 

<?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?>

 

This is what generates the text (after figuring out which text to put there, the code for that is in catalog/includes/functions/general.php but don't worry about that). The text it generates is in catalog/includes/languages/english.php

 

define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', 'Welcome back <span class="greetUser">%s!</span> Would you like to see which <a href="%s"><u>new products</u></a> are available to purchase?');
define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL_RELOGON', '<small>If you are not %s, please <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a> with your account information.</small>');
define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a>? Or would you prefer to <a href="%s"><u>create an account</u></a>?');

 

If you log in you will see the different message you can change.

 

 

The text below that is from this index.php code

 

<td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></td>

 

The text for that is in catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of osCommerce .....

 

 

Colors are done in the stylesheet. Depends what exact color you want to change.
