[Guest]

hi there fairly new @ this so excuse me asking questions that might seem out of context. i tried to change my banner but keep getting error: graphs directory does not exsist - create grahps directory in images- well i've been looking for image directory and can't seem to find option to create directory

 

only image directory i found was in configuration

Hi have you deleted the "oscommerce.gif" banner?

Since Oscommerce has a folder for banners, and also an admin tool at your admin controlpanel for banners.

The copyright is changed in includes/language/english.php i think. in the bottom of the file.

[Guest]

yes i have - guess should not have done that huh,....

When you delete the banner it also deletes the banner groupe. Why I dont know so its a flaw in the code. But go to footer.php or if you have a backup from your time before you deleted the banner.

Or if you dont have you need to go to catalogue/includes/footer.php adn edit it.

 

try restoring this, and make a backup of your old footer.php first.

Then try to add a new banner.

I'll stay online for your reply.

 

Here is the code for the Original file (footer.php)

[Guest]

hi- ;-(

 

sorry it took so long and thanx for offering to wait

no such luck on my end- i must have deleted all important files huh

 

can't seem to find includes/footer path in catalog: been lookin for it in admin and in file manager as well as other's

 

how .... is that

[Guest]

hi there - i located footer.php - everything seems to be in order i also went to link in php-file but doesn't say how and where to change the copyright

 

i think i have reached a different level of frustration today......

[Spice]

The copyright aint in footer.php remember? Its in catalogue/includes/language/english.php if you have more laguages you need to change in all diffternt. Like if you have catalogue/includes/language/spanish.php

 

You will find the copyright in the bottom of the file.

about at line 333 or somewhere there.
