Text Editor??

[jlamev]

I don’t know how to get into the “text editor”. If I log into my zencart page I have a green menu across the top that states “Configuration, Catalog, Modules, Customers…….” What do I click on to get to the point I can make the changes outlined below??? Please help..

===================

How do I do this please?
“….open includes/templates/template_default/common/ tpl_header.php”


"CAPITALIZED words refer to a folder or language that you choose. We use CUSTOM for your template and ENGLISH for your language by default. These generic terms should be changed to the name of the template/language you are using.

To change the “Sales Message Goes Here” or “Tagline Here” text to say what you want open the includes/languages/english/header.php file in your text editor. Find the following line of code:
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'Tagline Here');


Replace the tagline text with your own text, making sure that the single quote marks are not left out.

If you want to eliminate “Welcome Guest!” Would you like to log yourself in?” message completely, turn off the Customer Greeting in your Admin -> Configuration -> Layout settings -> Customer Greeting -> Show on Index Page and set to 0.

If you want to replace this message with one of your own, start your text editor and open the includes/languages/ENGLISH/index.php file and locate these lines of code

Thanks,

Jeff

I find the easiest way to work with Zen Cart is to have a copy unzipped on my computer. That way I can see the file structure and manipulate folders and files without being online. I can create folders for my template where I need them and copy the Zen Cart files into them.

To edit the files I use Crimson Editor (a free download from the net).

After I'm done, I FTP the folders/files to the site using an FTP client like Filezilla or SmartFTP (also free downloads).

HTH!
