Bear in mind I'm 58 and have worked, 7 days a week, for about 52 months in a mattress store/warehouse - I'm tired. A buddy of mine needed a site for a local auction and needed something like a shopping cart to display items. I edited the code a bit, removing the account and buy buttons, and slapped a site together with some incredibly stupid content; it was my understanding that they weren't going to use this for about 2 months. Well, they've got radio advertising, NOW, directing people to this site and on the index page I had written that the location for the next auction was "The planet Neptune". honest to God, I absolutely cannot figure out where I made this change..... He's freaking out and I'm , well, exhausted. here's what it looks like:

 

http://www.theclearinghousemi.com/catalog/index.php

 

 

 

This is so silly that it sounds like a joke - it's not a joke! Argh....

Where the heck did I do this...? I've looked in a bunch of files and cannot find it, for the life of me..

 

Thanks

If it's not in the main index.php file, you need to look there to find out where it is.

 

Search for table_background_default.gif

 

The text or it's location should be shortly after that.

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

 

"Given enough impetus a parallelogramatically shaped projectile can egress a circular orifice."

Thanks for trying to help - this is SO weird - and I am so burnt from working in 85 degree heat (no AC) for the last 3 weeks. In the main index.php file, at that point, I simply have this:

 

'table_background_default.gif', HEADING_TITLE, HEADING_IMAGE_WIDTH, HEADING_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></td>

</tr>

</table></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr>

<td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>

Not enough code...

:blush:

 

Next guesses would be:

 

/catalog/includes/languages/english.php

 

/catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

Good Lord... I finally found it.... I need some sleep. Like I said, this guy is freaking out - but if he wasn't so disorganized this wouldn't have happened.

 

It was in /include/languages/english/index.php - WHEW

 

Thanks again for putting up with me...

Download a copy of "grep" from a freeware site (gnu.org, fsf, etc.). It's a wonderful tool for searching all your files for text or more complex patterns ("regular expressions"). Presumably you have a full copy of the site on your PC, as a backup, if nothing else. With the right tools, you could spend 30 seconds looking for any desired text on your site. This assumes that the text is not actually in a graphical image file, in which case you have to examine the code to see what image file is being displayed (hint: use Firefox for a browser, and install Firebug).
