HEADING_TITLE appears on home page

[Laques2000]

Hi there,

i am totally new to Zen Cart so I am not exactly sure what to look for.

I installed the German version that can be found on SourceForge. I am pretty sure I did not customize the source code except for the banner title. The problem is the text "HEADING_TITLE" is displayed on the shop home page.

To be a bit more detailed, it is displayed above the "Welcome Guest! You want to log in" (don't know exactly as I use the german localization) message.

I don't know what to do and hope for help.

It's probably a better idea to download the latest version from this site. Keep the german language files and copy the german language folder in to the /includes/language/ folder

See if that works for you.

or you can try this.

Typically if it has an all caps text, that means that a define is missing the text that would normally show up.

Use the define pages tool in admin-->Tools to add text to the mainpage.php file.

Good luck!

Thank you for the information. I was about to post the "resolution".

Apparently the German index.php (in /includes/languages/german) was damaged. As I did not customize it either it was damaged during the upload or the archive is broken.
I replaced the German index.php with the English one and now it works.

Hi,
the german index file isn't corrupted but misses two lines

} elseif ($category_depth == 'top') {
  // This section deals with the "home" page at the top level with no options/products selected
  /*Replace this text with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'*/
/*missing no one*/  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Gratulation! Du hast erfolgreich Deine Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution installiert.'); 
} elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') {
  // This section deals with displaying a subcategory
  /*Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'*/
/*missing no two*/  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Gratulation! Du hast erfolgreich Deine Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution installiert.'); 
}
?>
