Can't remove the congratulation message.

[beautycrafters]

Hello.

This is my first time using Zen cart and for the last couple of days I've been trying to remove the" Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution. from my website. I've been pretty successful in editing the other stuff but I been totally unsuccessful in removing this message, I've tried everything, I followed all the instructions I found on zencart help and I researched other help sites (gave the same instructions) and I have removed and reinstalled zencart a couple of times (which means I have lost all the previous edits and have to start from the very beginning again.) Can someone help me?

I am using 1.3.8 version of zencart which I install via the fanstastico de luxe. My webhost uses Linux Servers and I have zero knowledge in html or css and relying on step by step instructions to edit the site.

this is our site. It's a new install and I haven't edited anything yet. I want to solve this problem first because this is the only problem I haven't managed to solve yet despite following the instructions I found here to the T.

Thanks in advance!

If you follow these tutorials and use the override system you will not lose your edits...

Sorry cannot understand how to get rid of these lines

“Congratulations You have successfully installed Zen Cart……………………”

I am now trying to learn and use the default template

“Classic Contemporary Green” and trying to get rid of these lines and go through by this

How do I change the "Congratulations! you have successfully installed..." Message?
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 change

But couldn’t understand what this means. Can anybody have some time to spoon feed me?

Sorry for that request I am very new at Zen Cart.

If you edit the files in the /classic folders, all your changes will be GONE with the next update/upgrade.

This list is outdated, but it'll still serve as a guideline. To create a very basic custom template (you can build from there), you need:

• includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php <- may not be necessary
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php <- may not be necessary
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

Anywhere you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder, the /template_default/ folder or the parent folder.

Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.

If that seems too much for you, go to http://(sorry, site offline)/ and see the free templates available for Zen Cart "in action". One of them might get you started on using the override system.

This guideline is fine for me and I now able to create folder for my template & use the same.

You refer this list as outdated can you please provide one updated list here which help the beginners like me to make his folder for the template one is going to use with the proper files he needs to make all necessary changes as and when needed

One more thing how can I get rid of the line “Congratulations You have successfully installed …………” . Do I have to edit this one?

\includes\languages\english\index.php files for this??

Please advise me.

I must have missed something. I did make the necessary changes and uploaded the file into languages/english/custom/index.php. It still loads the old index.php. Do I have to update something? http://www.ip-192.com/cart/
