You are in the right place.

assuming your is a new install with nothing added, use the one below.

overwrite the existing one already there, then open it and find this line [ the first line starting with define ]

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', ' ');

 

Your bits go in beween the two single quotes

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', '<your code in here>');

 

Hope it helps

Hi,

 

I do not understand what's wrong with it. I wanted to edit the Editing Page Text. I went to Tools -> Define Languages -> Index.php but it shows me this error msg:

 

Error: I can not write to this file. Please set the right user permissions on: /home/lencia/public_html/j-online/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

I also got error when I went to the File Manager wanted to edit stuff... and it shows me the same error again.

 

What's wrong with it ? :(

The file manager is pants, do not use it!

It will mess up your store for sure, use a FTP program.

Better still

install xampp on you local PC then install the store there and make changes, once done upload to your server, this way you always have a back up :- )

its a permission thing, these files [if you want to edit them] should be set to 777.

Another way to achieve this would be to install Define main page from the contributions area, it allows you to edit with WYSIWYG

Hi

 

I've tried. But it doesnt work.

 

Is there any other mtd :(

Posted

Yep

 

I did went to the file manager.. then to the OS_Commerce and click to chg permission. Tick everything to 777. I enter to the OS_Commerce -> to the file which is for my website and tick everything to 777 then press change.

 

Then i went to try again but still gives me the same error :(

Posted

Uhmm but the prob is when I enter to the OS_Commerce folder there's only one file -> veralencia.com|j-online

 

I cant find other file beside this.
