after editing it, I should overwrite it in folder /public_html/cart/includes/languages/english

Am I right? Pls help... Thanks.

Close. Once you edit those files, they should be saved to includes/languages/english/CUSTOM, where CUSTOM is the name of your custom template folders.

I just check but I couldn't locate the custom folder (pls refer to the picture below):



Pls advice

References to "custom" template assume that you have followed the advice in the Tutorials section and created your own custom template, rather than just editing classic.

If you haven't done that, then they should be read as references to classic instead, but the advice would still be to copy your changes to classic to your own "custom" template, the actual name of which is your choice.

I tried but still fail. Is it possible to help me to take a look? Probably you can give me your email address and I'll send the info to you. Thanks

Please read the tutorials again. Once you create a custom template, you must select it from the dropdown menu in admin>tools>template selection.

This list is a bit outdated, but it'll give you an idea where to start to create a very basic custom template (you can build from there):

• 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 and header text)
• 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 (or .jpg or .png)
• 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.

Note: if you've changed the height of the logo in header.php, you may need to change it in your stylesheet as well:

#logoWrapper{
background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-color: #ffffff;
height:75px; <-adjust this line if necessary
}

Well, basically it's not a custom template. The template that I'm using is based on the following info:

Template Author : Zen Cart Team (c) 2006
Template Version : Version 1.3.5

Any idea?

That is EXACTLY what a custom template is. You copy the file you want to edit from the classic folder into a folder you create and make your changes in the copy. That's EXACTLY what the tutorials tell you to do. Please read them again.

All of the templates available at http://(sorry, site offline)/ were created using the override system. Not all will contain the files I listed, but all were done on the same theory.

I think I'm almost there:

The folder are as per following:

/public_html/includes/languages/english

But I still see the following:

HEADING_TITLE
TEXT_GREETING_GUEST

in www.shuttermall.com

And the HTML code are as per following:
