    Default Need Help Locating Text To Change

    This is totally a "work in progress" at this time....but I am trying to find how to change some text/links. The 3 large "flash" boxes on the right side currently point to yahoo, youtube, and google.

    I've searched numerous places, and even have a program that will search for all "text strings" in all files, and all I can find is that the text I'm looking for is located at includes/templates/MY_TEMPLATE/MY_TEMPLATE.sql. When I change the text (google, yahoo, youtube) to another website and save it, the links still point to yahoo, google, and youtube.

    I can find no other place to change this text, and it doesn't seem to work to change the text at the above mentioned location.

    Can anyone help me figure out where the text is located to change the links associated with these boxes.

    The website is http://www.ityourgifts.com

    Thank You

    Thank you for the reply. I had already tried that, but I did look again after your response, just to make sure.

    When I go to that location the "box" where (I'm assuming) there should be text to edit is completely blank. Just a big white empty box. ?????

    try:
    /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/common/tpl_main_page.php

    There is 9 tpl*.php files in the common folder. Check each one, and one of them have the text I'm looking for.

    I am not familiar with it, but maybe the slides are managed by the banners?

    Use the tools > developper tools kit in your admin to find any of the following
    az_indexBanner
    gv-panel_wrap
    gv-panel current

    And see in which files they are, might be your links are somewhere on those files, if it is a plugin (high probability) maybe reading the docs will give you better hints.

    edit: rbarbour got there faster ;)

    I'm just about ready to give up on this. I got a few "hits" on the items suggested but no luck finding the actual links. I know it has to be here somewhere, but I've searched and looked in every file to try and find this with no luck.

    talk about over kill, i never seen core code ripped apart like that, anyway.

    the core code for the image slider is located:
    includes/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/az_image_gallery.php

    you shouldn't have to edit that file at all

    as stated earlier, these image slides are banners

    goto ADMIN>TOOLS>BANNER MANAGER

    find:
    Title 01
    Title 02
    Title 03

    ckick to edit, this is where you will upload new "banners" image slides, change the URL's (yahoo, google, youtube)

    Hope this helps and good luck!
