Where is welcome screen file?

[chadoz]

I'm searching for the file where I can edit the welcome page text that reads,

 

"Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in? Or would you prefer to create an account?"

 

I know where everything below that is, but I can't find the file to edit this text above.

Help?

In general, here is how I find stuff like that:

 

1. Make a copy of the store on my local computer (via FTP).
   
2. Download and install Windows Grep.
   
3. Use Windows Grep to search for the text I want to find.

Thanks - What about the text for the breadcrumb trail? I'm looking to edit the home page link (top).

And while I'm at it,

1.) What about the details at the bottom " 574 requests since Tuesday 04 May, 2010 " I need to remove that detail...

2.) The text when there is no products in the category, "There are no products to list in this category."

much thanks

574 requests since Tuesday 04 May, 2010 <---- this is in the yourpage/includes/footer.php

 

everything else should be in the yoursite/includes/english.php OR yoursite/includes/english/ index.php

 

if you send a link to your site I could help better serve you.

Thanks. I found everything. However, with the following:

 

"define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS', 'There are no products to list in this category.');"

 

Where do I edit the text color/font characteristics? Is there a file that has the definitions I.E TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS?

 

Also looking for editing footer color options for: tep_display_banner.

 

 

<td align="center"><?php echo tep_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></td>

So where do I edit the text color/font characteristics? Is there a file that has the definitions I.E TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS?

 

Not exactly. And it depends on what osCommerce template you're using. If it's the standard template, the color/font characteristics are defined by the CSS rules (in catalog/stylesheet.css). The rule in question is the following:

 

TD.productListing-data

 

But this class is for all of the product listings, and changing it would affect everything. After looking at the code that outputs TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS (in catalog/includes/modules/product_listing.php and catalog/includes/classes/boxes.php), it appears that you can set the color/font by including it in the TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS definition. For example:

 

define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS', '<span style="color:red;font-family:\'Times New Roman\';">There are no products to list in this category.</span>');

Also looking for editing footer color options for: tep_display_banner.

 

Nearly all of the colors and fonts are defined by the CSS rules in catalog/stylesheet.css. For your particular question, tep_display_banner() is a bit interesting because it either (1) displays an image or (2) displays the HTML you've specified in the banner manager. In the first case, the color doesn't really matter. In the second case, you can specify the color in the HTML.

 

Tracing stuff in osCommerce can be difficult at times. I use two methods to find out which CSS rules and classes/IDs are in effect. The first is to view the page's HTML source. The second is to use the web developer extensions for Firefox -- "Web Developer" and "Firebug" -- that can tell you which rules are in effect for any text on the page.
