How to change title 'Model:'?

Hello all,

I am a happy newbie at Zen Cart. I run a little label and would like to change default 'Model:' to 'Catalog#:' on every product page where those are appears.

Where can I find and update source codes? Please help.

Thanks,
Akos

Re: How to change title 'Model:'?

I mean I need to change all default title "Model" for "Catalog#" where showing up. Admin search showed up some of 128 places in codes where are "Model" - it is a pain to change down every lines by hand.

I also have a problem how to add new category to already exists products. Yes, I have read the wiki article and comments discussing about this issue.

Quite strange that there is only a "new product" button but there is no "new category" button under Admin > Categories / Products. By default you get "WARNING: You have Products in the Top Level Category. This will cause pricing to not work properly in the Catalog." and I do not understand how to move, copy or rearrange pruducts under a new category or sub category.

Re-read the tutorial and pay attention

Tutorial:
3. That'll show you the text inside a "define" statement much like this:

define('TEXT_GREET_USER','Welcome to my site');

I also have a problem how to add new category to already exists products. Yes, I have read the wiki article and comments discussing about this issue.

So what didn't you understand??

Tutorial:
Note: A category can hold sub-categorie or products, but not both at the same level.

So sorry, there is no "new category" button. Not only my problem, other users are also reported this issue.

I have not created ANY category. Only added products and get warning msg I quoted you above. From "Top Category" (if that is a real category") you cannot create new categories, only new products. Useless. And if you have added products, say under "Top" why you cannot have sub categories... it is incomprehensible.

Products, categories, sub categories should be editable, arrangable like a menu, or not?

Re: How to change title 'Model:'?

What has happened is basically this...

Somehow, you have managed to start adding products (in the product management screen of admin) BEFORE you created categories.

The only way I know this can happen, is if Easy Populate is used to populate a new store, and no categories are specified in the spreadsheet.

So unfortunately, the only safe way to remedy this problem is to REMOVE all your products from "top" category, so that it is completely empty.

Only then will you be able to create categories and (if desired) sub-categories.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Changing MODEL to Catalog#

(I would be careful of using special characters like #).

As I recall, there are about 17 instances of define statements in the language files that relate to the define "Model".

remember... you ONLY need to change define statements - nothing else.

It takes about 20 minutes to do all these edits - and if you don't use things like the music product module, then you can ignore the defines in these language files...

Re: How to change title 'Model:'?

Many thanks for your help!

As for MODEL, I updated found 27 defines to CATALOG (without #). Nothing happened on my website.

-----------

Regarding Categories, if I remove current products from "Top", create new Category and reup those under that, will I lost order and customer databases as well?
