Sideboxes Sub - Categories

[bbol]

Hi, can anyone help, I am really new to Zencart so need all the help I can get!! Basically, on the sidebox marked "more information" I have some subheadings, testimonals, beauty tips etc. I want to change one of these headings, beauty tips to stock queries. I just can't find where that header is listed. Ive managed to change the actual text but just need that heading to change. Any ideas.

All help is greatfully received!!

In /includes/language/english.php

Open a copy in a text editor(not a word processor) and find this area:
about line 75 and the text strings that are between the single quotes can be changed. Leave the quotes. Highlighted in red for some
DO NOT change the name after the Define( as this is what is in the code and what it looks for.

// categories box text in sideboxes/categories.php
  define('BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES', 'Categories');

// manufacturers box text in sideboxes/manufacturers.php
  define('BOX_HEADING_MANUFACTURERS', 'Manufacturers');

// whats_new box text in sideboxes/whats_new.php
  define('BOX_HEADING_WHATS_NEW', 'New Products');
  define('CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_WHATS_NEW', 'New Products ...');

  define('BOX_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS', 'Featured');
  define('CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS', 'Featured Products ...');
  define('TEXT_NO_FEATURED_PRODUCTS', 'More featured products will be added soon. Please check back later.');

  define('TEXT_NO_ALL_PRODUCTS', 'More products will be added soon. Please check back later.');
  define('CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_PRODUCTS_ALL', 'All Products ...');

// quick_find box text in sideboxes/quick_find.php

Thank you for your reply, that is very helpful. However, it is not the box name ie categories etc that I want to change but a subcategory within the box. For example, the box is headed "more information" and within that box there are sub categories for you to click into Home, Beauty tips etc. It is the one headed beauty tips that I want to change. Have a look at [URL="http://www.bridalbellesonline.com"]. What you have told me though is still helpful because I was considering changing some of the main titles in the boxes, at least i know how to do that now!!

Thank you for replying

not exactly answering your question but I suggest you look toward using EZ pages for that sidebox more info etc - not limited (practically) to number of 'subjects' easier to edit - etc. more display options for navigation tabs etc.

start with admin/tools/ezpages

also you need to look at optimizing your images...

Thank you Wasana for your reply. Not sure exactly what you mean by it though. Sorry that sounds ungrateful, I mean it in the nicest possible way. I have had a look at admin>tools>ezpages but im afraid this option is not listed for me. What did youmean by optimize my images? Did you have a problem viewing them?

Hi bbol

I think you are working on the site as I write this...

EZ pages comes with v1.3.x...

I got a little stumped trying to answer your first question - do a search for "more information sidebox" , I thought the tools/define pages editor would change title, but no.

I see you are using the purpleshades template but what version of zencart are you on? (click either admin/tools/serverinfo or if 1.3 on the tool bar to the right - next to logoff)

your images are about 5 times bigger than suggested - each one is somewhere in the 25KB weight class - if your customers are using dial-up they are in for a long wait. Worth learning a few things about how Zen uses images, optimizing done offline by something like Photoshop or Fireworks, also optional ImageHandler contribution - but that might be a bit much for a newzenner

another suggestion is to go to turnoff some of the boxes - languages (maybe who's online which also slows the site). Since your footer no longer displays.... see first comment, I'll reserve comments about turning off 'parse speed'

You might be just testing it, but the PayPal logo in the sponsor sidebox is shifting things over too.
