Help with define('TEXT_MAIN'...)


Dakota

Recommended Posts

I am trying to replace the default home page with an html file. In a post it was said to replace define('TEXT_MAIN'...) with

 

$mystr = file_get_contents('yourpage.html');

define('TEXT_MAIN', $mystr);

 

My problem is I don't know where the end of define('TEXT_MAIN'...) is. Tried couple of points and got a parsing error.

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project, products shown are for demonstrational purposes, <b>any products purchased will not be delivered nor will the customer be billed</b>. Any information seen on these products is to be treated as fictional.<br><br><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES .

start with this

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This

end with this

 PROJECT_VERSION . '</b></font>.');

now that you have located both parts change to this

define('TEXT_MAIN', '');

you now have no text

If you want to use a html file to define you main page instead of using the

define('TEXT_MAIN', ''); in a php file you should check out this thread

Very simple and works great.

The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing.

Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems?

There are many very useful osC Contributions

I succeeded in eliminating all text. Then I tried to use html file instead. Per instructions here, replaced define('TEXT_MAIN'..) with

 

$mystr = file_get_contents('yourpage.html');

define('TEXT_MAIN', $mystr);

 

then made yourpage.html and uploaded it to english folder. In the html page I had an image. I uploaded that image to english folder too. Then came the moment of truth. What did I get?

 

Warning: file_get_contents(yourpage.html): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/oscommerce/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 13

 

I can see the html file so I don' t know why it can't find it?

place the html page in the catalog directory not the english directory or i think in your case the oscommerce directory
