cyrusfazeli Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Hi, I am building an OSCommerce site for my graduate school ECommerce course. I want to remove the default OSCommerce content and replace with a company heading and image. Is there a way to do this through the OSCommerce admin login or do the .php files have to be modified? BTW - what is the software language being used for OSCOmmerce? I am not familiar with it. Thank you. V/R, Cyrus Fazeli
Guest Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Cyrus, You will have to edit the PHP files or replace the images you want to change with the same filenames to overwrite them You already said the language osCommerce is written in..........PHP Chris

Do you or anyone here know which .php file I need to update and how? Thank you! Cyrus
Guest Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Cyrus, The header image can be found in includes/header.php and the filename is store_logo.png The default page content can be edited by changing includes/languages/english/index.php and will be found under the define TEXT_MAIN....... Chris

Chris Chris, Thanks again! Do you know where i can get this tool: "That file can be edited manually, or via the Administration Tool with the Languages->English->Define or Tools->File Manager modules." The Admin tool or the tools->file manager module? Thanks again, Cyrus
Guest Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Cyrus, DO NOT USE FILE MANAGER or DEFINE LANGUAGES in the admin tools. They should be deleted and removed from the tool.php file. The proper way to edit files is to download them to your local machine via FTP, edit them using notepad++ or editplus then upload them back to the server. Chris
