awillard Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 I have been trying to change the text: "This is a default setup of the osCommerce project, products shown are for demonstrational purposes, any products purchased will not be delivered nor will the customer be billed. Any information seen on these products is to be treated as fictional." by going to catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php and editing with text of my own, but I keep getting a parse error. What am I doing wrong? Also, how can I change the text in the other languages? Any suggestions? Thanks.
TerryK Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 I usually get that error when I forget to escape single quotes. For example, text like "Let's see what we have here" should be entered as "Let\'s see what we have here."

awillard Posted April 21, 2004 Author Posted April 21, 2004 Ok, I tried that and am still getting this error: Parse error: parse error in /home/awillard/public_html/oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 13 Any ideas?
TerryK Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Can you post the applicable code from your languages/english/index.php file? Maybe start at line 1 and go through to about line 30?

awillard Posted April 21, 2004 Author Posted April 21, 2004 Here is what my site looks like after I edit the text: http://www.ashleystreasurechest.net/oscomm...2.2ms2/catalog/ That happens when I make Any changes to the original text. Does anyone know what is causing this problem? Thanks.
241 Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 There is a known issue with the online file manager removing \ backslashes from the code, so it is better to use an ftp program such as ws_ftp to download the file and edit offline then upload using the ftp this avoids the missing \ and helps stop the parse errors No longer giving free advice.

awillard Posted April 23, 2004 Author Posted April 23, 2004 Thanks 241! I used an ftp editor and finally got it right. :D
