2daysbest Posted July 12, 2010 Author Posted July 12, 2010 Thank you so much for that link BUT when I go to the back office and click on catalog I see Catalog Categories/Products Products Attributes Manufacturers Reviews Specials Products Expected I dont see: Go to catalog/includes/languages/English/index.php Find the following line and change it to what you want it to say Am I in the wrong place? I logged into my oscommerce backoffice.
Indy Magnoli Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 "catalog/includes/languages/English/index.php" refers to the actual file "index.php" located in your file structure. "catalog/includes/langauges/English" refer to directories. You'll need to edit the "index.php" file in an html program or even in a simple text editor (such as notepad) Kind regards, Magnoli
2daysbest Posted July 12, 2010 Author Posted July 12, 2010 Okay I am so lost. Guess youll can tell I am a total beginner. I need some steps that speak alittle more clearer. The computer lang has me with a hugh question mark on my head. Step one is?? Open Notepad? Step two?
NodsDorf Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Notepad isn't the best unit for dealing with PHP. Try Edit Pad Lite its free (download.com) PSPad again free program. There are also many other Free PHP and Javascript code readers. To edit a file you'll need to download the file either through the filemanger with your host, or better yet using a FTP program (again many free ones are available). Once you download the file you'll need to open it with Edit Pad, or whatever you have, make the changes, save it, then re-upload it to the server.
