Editing Main Page content

[dmccain]

Hi. I'm a newbie to Zen Cart and am attempting to edit the content of the home page. Does Zen Cart not use a WYSIWYG type of text editor? Does the content have to be edited using HTML code?

The Tools->Define Page Editor->define_main_page.php opens what appears to be a text editor. I can enter text but can't change the font type/size, etc. Also, on my main page its still displaying "Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution" which I need to remove.

I am NOT familiar with HTML code at all and really need a simple text editor. What can I do?

The old, buggy HTMLArea editor was removed from the latest version. This is considered the best of the replacements:

Thanks. Do I upload the update directly to the public_html directory or is there a specific folder that it must be uploaded to?

There will be a readme file inside the mod's zip that will give installation instructions. As it is done by Kuroi, I would expect it to be clear and accurate.
Most mods are built to be uploaded directly to the Zen Cart root (/public_html/ or whatever it is on your system).

I replaced the admin & editor files with the downloaded files but I am seeing no changes in how the editor functions - I can enter text that updates my main page but I cannot change the font size, type, etc.

There's a dropdown that toggles Plain Text and the editor - what's that set to ?
