Front Page Editing how to get rid of the"Congratulations, you have successfully text

[outlawcat]

sorry i meant to add that I know I change this in my index file.. I did that before and just excluded that part and added "welcome..." I lost my whole site doing this and dont want to happen again.. all I need is someone to show me the edit and is that the only place that needs to be edited..

[outlawcat]

I have already done that and this is all you get


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

does this tell you where to find the file and what it should look like when it's done?

I think not.. please tell me where and exactly what it should look like the changes I make..

thank you

this is how it reads, please just tell me what to edit

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!'*/ define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.');} 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!'*/ define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.'); }?>

i am confused because of the "Else if" part.. i dont understand where they want you to edit it. can I just take out the part that says you have successfully.... and leave it blank... i dont want to crash again after all my work

please advice

Out,
No problem, when I first started I was in this same situation..

The highlighted red font above will help you..
The second highlighted red font is used when you change how the page will look in the admin panel/ configuration.....

So the first one is your fix, most important part is leave the single quotes on either side of the wording EX: 'wording', just change wording and leave the single quotes..

Change/remove the text in both places.

To remove, leave the opening and closing single quotes in place. Just remove the text in between.

  // 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!'*/
  define('HEADING_TITLE','Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.');
} 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!'*/
  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.');
}

would become

  // 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!'*/
  define('HEADING_TITLE', '');
} 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!'*/
  define('HEADING_TITLE', '');
}

why do I have a white page now I changed one word and did not touch any '... how in the world do I get my site back.. I sure feel like giving up now.. I did exactly what was told

I made a site on my hard drive.. copied the index.php to it.. changed one word to welcome and left all your stuff just to see what would happen.. I have white page.. I changed it back took out my welcome.. saved.. same thing white page.. pulling my hair out now

Out,
To fix it just reload this file from the fresh install folders of Zen-Cart.
