Changing default Congratulations Message

[golfthrills]

Hi, slowly but surely I am building a my marketplace.
I am now working through https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=129 Changing the "Congratulations! You have successfully installed ... message" The article has me a bit puzzled. It suggests that after I make the described changes I save the page to a directory that does not currently exist. For the article's purpose "CUSTOM" I did that, and saved the new version in a new folder (I used Custom as well) and no change was evident. The notion of creating a new folder and adding the changed index there doesn't click with me as the path to english/index.php remains unchanged. I don't get it, I must be missing something.
Thanks
Rick

Make note that the folder's are named exactly as the one that your active template is in

Thanks for trying but I am still truly wrapped around the axle on this one. In Configuration>Tools I have a template selection of GTShop in a template Directory GTHome

In File Manager I see in www/includes/templates/GThome the folder
and in www/includes/languages/english/GTShop (no longer using folder name custom) where I have loaded index.php with the changes as instructed. Still no success.

Those do not match???

Thanks for your patience
I am an old dog learning new tricks and having some difficulties. I am likely to be loosing my job in the next couple of weeks and as I told someone last night, I think I would rather work on building a marketplace then a resume no one wants to read. So you taking the time is more then just appreciated. So... onto the issue at hand.

Before this all started I created a new template as instructed in article 142. I saw that the default template, Classic Contemporary Green was in the classic directory so I didn't think to make the names the same, and thought that template_info.php managed the difference where the template name is shown as GTShop.

$template_name = 'GTShop';
$template_version = 'Version 1.0';
$template_author = 'Rick';
$template_description = 'This template set is designed to be easily modified using only the style sheet to change colors, fonts, and the store logo. Three images are required; logo.jpg, header_bg.jpg, and tile_back.jpg.';
$template_screenshot = 'scr_template_default.jpg';

It should wind up as follows

includes/
   /templates
       /GTShop
          /common
          /css
             stylesheet.css
          /images
          /sideboxes
          /templates
       template_info.php

And then anywhere else you need to edit a file just check if there is a /classic folder and add one for your template /GTShop
Place Only files that you actually change in these folders as this makes upgrading easier as there are only a few edited files to deal with

Where are you located?
