Editing a template 101

[NekkidFish]

Okay, I tried the dev tool kit again ... at the bottom ... I tried 'header.php', 'header, and 'HEADER', and all came back with "Error: No matching Configuration Keys were found ... header.php, header and HEADER.



My oh my ... I can't imagine how this is going to go for me when I try adding products.

Okay, hold on ... I found it in the dev tool kit ... but I am not seeing it in my FTP program ....

Going way back in my brain ... is this maybe because the CHMOD (?) is not set up for this to be a writable file?

Oh my doG .... is CHMOD even a word?

Crapolla ... I did something wrong. I thought I just replaced the text ... but now my website just goes to a blank page.

All I did was replace the text at the bottom.

define('TEXT_MAIN','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>');

// Showcase vs Store
if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
  define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="%s">log yourself in</a>?');
} else {
  define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome, please enjoy our online showcase.');
}

define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', 'Hello <span class="greetUser">%s</span>! Would you like to see our <a href="%s">newest additions</a>?');

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Define your main Index page copy here.');

//moved to english
//define('TABLE_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS','Featured Products');

//define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'New Products For %s');
//define('TABLE_HEADING_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS', 'Upcoming Products');
//define('TABLE_HEADING_DATE_EXPECTED', 'Date Expected');

if ( ($category_depth == 'products') || (zen_check_url_get_terms()) ) {
  // This section deals with product-listing page contents
  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Available Products');
  define('TABLE_HEADING_IMAGE', 'Product Image');
  define('TABLE_HEADING_MODEL', 'Model');
  define('TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS', 'Product Name');
  define('TABLE_HEADING_MANUFACTURER', 'Manufacturer');
  define('TABLE_HEADING_QUANTITY', 'Quantity');
  define('TABLE_HEADING_PRICE', 'Price');
  define('TABLE_HEADING_WEIGHT', 'Weight');
  define('TABLE_HEADING_BUY_NOW', 'Buy Now');
  define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS', 'There are no products to list in this category.');
  define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS2', 'There is no product available from this manufacturer.');
  define('TEXT_NUMBER_OF_PRODUCTS', 'Number of Products: ');
  define('TEXT_SHOW', 'Filter Results by:');
  define('TEXT_BUY', 'Buy 1 \'');
  define('TEXT_NOW', '\' now');
  define('TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES', 'All Categories');
  define('TEXT_ALL_MANUFACTURERS', 'All Manufacturers');
} elseif ($category_depth == 'top') {
  // 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', 'Welcome to Pawsome Dogz ');
} 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', 'Welcome!  We're so glad you stopped by!  We just love when company drops in ... especially if you brought treats! '); 
}
?> 

Maybe an adult beverage and hour in the hot tub will help?

  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome!  We're so glad you stopped by!  We just love when company drops in ... especially if you brought treats!');

You omitted the closing single quote ' that I have highlighted where it should be in the code above

And the major fo-paw is that you used a single quote in the text in

we're

And that is read as the ending single quote
You need to use the escape sequence for any punctuation in text

single quote = '
So this becomes - - and the forum will most likely convert it

we're

And you do have a header.php file at
/includes/languages/english/
Yes it did so I have added spaces to prevent that
we & # 3 9 ; re

[kobra]

And you do have a header.php file at
/includes/languages/english/

Kobra, I don't know how to thank you! Do you like brownies?

Okay ... and yes, I had an adult beverage and some hot tub time ... are you saying that when I add words to the .php files such as we're, they're, I'll, you'll, etc. ... that I have to add a space before and after the ' ? So it would be we ' re, they ' re. ??

Just FYI ... I used to be an admin and a mod at 2 forums back in the day ... and I don't like people doing the work for me ... I do want to learn ... which is why I ask questions.

But, please know how much I appreciate the help!!

use the escape sequence

And, as I re-read this, I have no clue what that means.

[keneso]

write it like this

we\'re
they\'re
etc.

A backslash before the single quote.
When you see something between two single quotes you escape it with the backslash, so you'll have opening quote middle quote escaped and closing quote.
