Where to change text


Guest

Recommended Posts

I am so new and so stupid. I want to change text. I found the page I want to make changes on using Dreamweaver but it doesn't seem to work. Here is the change I made from the default text.

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to Children's Clocks by Platypus Productions');

I saved it and thought I would see the change. Where else do you change text? I went to the How do I page and the direction reads, Go to catalog/includes/languages/English/index.php

Here's where I have a problem. HOW DO I GO THERE....using what program? In my FTP program there is no "catalog" I called the directory "cart" so I went to cart/includes/languages/english/index.php Then, it just opens Dreamweaver. Does anyone know what i'm talking about?

Download the file you want to edit with your FTP tool. Then edit and save it with Dreamweaver. Then upload the file to your server with the FTP tool again, making sure you overwrite the old file.

 

Always BACKUP before making changes.

Edit the local file in Dreamweaver then ftp it to your server. Note: Make a backup of the local file before you make any changes....in case the change breaks your site and you need to put it back the way it was and start over.

Okay, now i know i have a problem. I don't have anything on my local, i was editing on the remote. Also, I just tried to make another change and now i'm receiving this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/childr10/public_html/cart/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 19

Line 19 is the line i posted in the last entry.

This line

 

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to Children's Clocks by Platypus Productions');

 

Should be

 

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to Children\'s Clocks by Platypus Productions');

 

Notice the \ between the n and the s of childrens.

REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP
