How to change the store name?

[DorianJ]

After installation, the default store name is 'osCommerce' and that's what shows in the <title></title> tags of the browser. I used the admin tool to change the value of Store Name to something else, however when I load my site, it's still titled 'osCOmmerce'. See for yourself: http://www.my4by.com/.

 

How do I change the title of my site?

[DorianJ]

Figured it out.

There's a file called 'english.php' located at 'includes/languages/english.php'.

There's a section called 'page title' that defines the 'TITLE'.

Change the 'osCommerce' in this line to whatever you want.

Congratulations, Dorian.

 

I like when people write the solutions they found out. In this way, other newbies would find your solution instead of posting a new thread about this.

Also, spend some time over this english.php file, you will find many other things in there that you will want to customize.

 

Son't forget to visit wiki.oscommerce.com for insights on customizing OSCommerce.

uh, lemme guess. ;) You used the built in file manager to edit the file right?

 

It loves to munge files, so use an offline editor and upload the edited file(s).

Use wordpad instead...works best for me...formats it nicely as well...

Little help, unless you can post to us lines 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 of your english.php. That way we can look for this parse error. (Please tell us which line is 48).
