Customizing the Rustic Template

[garys1157]

Ok, I found the correct file, opened it in Crimson Editor, made my changes, and then saved the file and closed Crimson Editor. Yet, the changes did not get saved, because when I go to open the meta_tags file again, none of the changes are saved, and it's like I never opened the file in the first place. Am I doing something wrong in the way I save and close the file with Crimson Editor? I've not seen any other way to transfer the file back to my WS_FTP program.

Do you have Windows Vista? If so, are your files installed
in Program Files? Vista won't let you make changes to any files
installed in Program Files.

The Windows i have is XP. My Crimson Editor and WS_FTP are both located in the Program Files, and I have been able to modify my logo, as well as another line on my site, but don't seem to be able to make any more changes. This is all very new to me, so I'm sorry for my ignorance, but very much appreciate all your help. Thank you!

When FTPing the file, does it show to have finished transferring?

The customized meta_tags.php file will go in includes/languages/english/rustic/.

It shows to have finished transfering when I open and go to edit the file, but I see no transfer back after I've made the changes, save and close. Do I copy the meta_tags.php file to my computer and edit the file there, only to transfer it back and override the meta_tags.php file on my includes/languages/english/rustic/ file?

Yes, definitely! Transfer the file to your computer for editing.
It's a good idea to keep a copy of the Zen Cart files (same version as on your server) for making changes. Then FTP the changed files to the correct place on your server.

That worked great! Thank you! I will visit the customizing again shortly, it's off to add product now. I have a feeling that I will have questions with regard to the product attributes!!
