Hello

What is the error, i do not see one on your index.php

Nic

[shortyguy]

it was one saying sytax error on line 13 or something also remember seeing it saying T_Strand.

 

my mate has fixed it now hence why the site works.

 

there are no problems in the index php :S any idea why i may have been getting an error?

[FIMBLE]

You may have had an unescaped apostrophe which mean if you wrote

our shop's etc..

it need to be presented as

our shop'\s

its called escaping the apostrophe as ' means something in php code, so for text you need to add \ before it to escape it

Your previous errors may have been from index.php rather than the file you posted which is includes/languages/english/index.php

 

You still have one define not defined:

TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS

ah right. that could well have been it then.

 

glad its sorted now though

about the third time ive managed to cause the same error

Yeh i know about that..as i keep seeing it and it is annoying.

 

how can i change it so it doesn't appear as that on the site..is it just a case of editing it?

Add this:

define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'Featured Products For %s');

to includes/languages/english/index.php

I have no idea why I have received a negative one for the previous post. Can someone explain what I did wrong?

Your post looks OK to me. My guess is that someone, shall we say, "uncoordinated", accidentally clicked on the "-" button rather than the "MultiQuote" button (before anyone asks, no it wasn't me). I clicked "+" on your post to bring it back to neutral.

Thank you Phil,

 

I was given quite a shock to see my reputation in the negative today. Wasn't really sure what the reputation was until then. I browsed until I found the post. Your explanation is highly likely as I cannot recall giving bad advice and hopefully I have never offended anyone here. Generally, I do not post unless I am sure of my answer. A couple times I may have answered with a disclaimer saying I was pretty sure.

don't think it was me either as i was bit confused when i saw that appear on your post.

cheers for the help and i will try that bit now

 

edit: ok added that new bit of php into the php on the admin page that you said to but it didn't

remove the TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCT bit..is there a specific place it needs to be placed

or does part of the php need to be removed in order for this bit to take effect?

[shortyguy]

edit: no i havent im still confused as why it did nothing when i put it in

[knifeman]

edit: no i havent im still confused as why it did nothing when i put it in

Place the define in includes/languages/english/index.php

right after your main text, like this:

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Welcome to Monumental Piercing Supplies etc etc..');
define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'New Products For %s');

 

My sites either have the text altered to say featured products rather than new products or I have completely removed the new products module and installed a featured products mod. Depends upon the site.
