How do you get to includes/languages/english/index.php page

Ah, I see you're really starting fresh with this stuff. That's okay; we've all been there, done that.

You should have a local copy of your Zen Cart on your local computer's hard drive. (But it's not absolutely necessary; it's just a good idea. If you don't, then you'll have to do the following on the server where your site is hosted, probably via FTP.)

That file you asked about actually contains the address of the file you need to edit. Just follow that address.

So for "includes/languages/english/index.php" you ...
open the Zen Cart folder
inside that, open the includes folder
inside that, open the languages folder
inside that, open the english folder
inside that, double-click the index.php file to open it in your editor of choice, and make the changes.

Hi james

There are some basic "tools" that you will find very useful when making changes to your site.

First is to use FIREFOX browser, with various mozilla add-ons such as FIREBUG, COLORZILLA, DEVELOPER TOOL KIT, etc.

Go grab these firefox addons, and then see how they work. Basically, they allow off-line edits and page/site analysis which is extremely useful when you're trying to find out what controls what on your web pages.

Next, make sure you have a GOOD plain text editor. NEVER edit php code in WYSIWYG editor (such as MS-Word). Good editors are NOTEPAD++ and CRIMSON EDITOR.

Always search the forum for possible solutions before you post a question.

Take time to learn the basics of PHP, MySQL and, if you wish, do some web-based tutorials on CSS (www.W3schools.com).

Good luck with your store. I hope you make LOTS OF MONEY!
