Replacing welcome text with a big image

[Guest]

Hi all,

 

I have tried, and ive searched, but havent found anything as yet to say how to get rid of the small image in the corner, the welcome text, and the welcome header, and replace it with either an image, or multiple images.

 

Ive seen other OSC sites that impliment this, and would dearly like to do the same.

 

Any help would be most appreciated!

 

Many thanks in advance

 

 

Rick

can anyone help or is this in the wrong section?

in your includes/languages/english/index.php you can add html in there where it says define main page ' '

 

this will still leave the welcome guest log in etc, to remove that you would need to edit the index.php page and find where it says about greeting, then add your html to there.

 

For example

 

	 <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	  <tr>
		<td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>

 

You would change like this

 

	<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	  <tr>
		<td class="main">HTML HERE</td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>

Thank you for your reply.

 

I couldnt find any code like that in the "includes/languages/english/index.php" file, though did find the same code listed in the main index.php file.

 

However, when changed, it didnt actually do anything. Any ideas what im doing wrong?

 

Example code change below (lines 298 to 310) :

 

 <tr>
	<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	  <tr>
		<td class="main"><  if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', '468x50')) {
?>
<br>
<table border="0" width="100%" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
<td align="center"><?php echo tep_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></td>
 </tr>
</table>
<?php
</td>

you can remove everything between define('TEXT_MAIN', ' and the final '); and add html in there

 

 

in your main index.php you need to look for

		<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	  <tr>
		<td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>

which is around line 299

 

you can change this to

 

		<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	  <tr>
		<td class="main">INSER YOUR HTML HERE</td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
