    Default remove front page text

    Hi,

    Here are the specs and link to my site.

    zen cart 1.3.8
    mac os10.6.2
    Dreamweaver cs4
    www.joezjewellery.com/store

    Can't remove the following text after doing all the over ride system etc.

    Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.

    When I look at the file index.php in my custom folder it has all the changes I made. I also made the changes in the original file and it still doesn't change. of course emptied cache etc. also.

    here is what the source code for the site looks like:

    <div class="centerColumn" id="indexCategories">
    <h1 id="indexCategoriesHeading">Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart&trade; E-Commerce Solution.</h1>


    <!-- deprecated - to use - uncomment
    <div id="" class="content">This is the main define statement for the page for english when no template defined file exists. It is located in: <strong>/includes/languages/english/index.php</strong></div>
    -->

    <!-- deprecated - to use - uncomment
    <div id="" class="content">Define your main Index page copy here.</div>
    -->

    Thanks all for your terrific support.

    Suzanne

    If this is showing, and you say you have edited the language file called index.php, then your override path is incorrect - or the file you edited is missing or corrupt.

    The ORIGINAL is here:

    includes/languages/english/index.php


    YOUR edited version should reside here:

    includes/languages/english/custom/index.php


    (the path should be EXACTLY as I describe).

    Thanks for your quick reply!

    My path is as you describe.

    If the file is corrupt how can I get a new one?

    Also, in the I'm wondering what the code means by the comments "depricated"

    The CORE (original) file is in:

    includes/languages/english/index.php

    ... so, just FTP that to your hard drive, so you now have a COPY on your local computer... make the edits, and then FTP it to:

    includes/languages/english/custom/index.php

    (What program are you using to do the edits? You should ONLY USE a plain text editor... nothing else... You can download freeware editors such as notepad++ (not the same as plain notepad) or perhaps emerald editor. Search on Google for these...)

    Ok, I've deleted the files I had modified and redid the whole thing.

    I was using Dreamweaver.
    I redid everything in textedit - same results
    I then tried Dashcode (I'm on Mac) - same results!

    I can see the changes in my files but they are not being read!

    And now I feel really really stupid.

    The problem was again between the chair and the screen.

    I had a typo in the folder name - custon instead of custom!

    Sorry for the trouble.

    No apology needed Suzanne...

    I regard myself as an "advanced novice", and have some 6 years' ecperience with ZC ... and you know what?...

    ... a couple of months ago I had EXACTLY the same error as yours and for the life of me I could not see the wood for the trees! It took me a week to find out... One has a tendency to assume the worst... yet sometimes (most times perhaps) the solution is simple...
