Problem with main page editing.

[parco inc]

Ok well i'm using a custom template that a designer made for our company. I'm having problems editing the front/main page. I go into define page editor and edit the main page, and save and it does not change anything on the front back. I checked my define page settings and they are all on 1. this is really pissing me off i've been working on this for about 3 days straight now. this is my last hope. I also ordered the book from zen cart hoping that it would help me. but its only told me what i've already done. here is the link. i'm trying to edit the space below the flash design and below where it says click here to login.

In your admin, when you try to edit the file, did it give you a "Error: I can not write to this file. Please set the right user permissions" warning?

No it doesnt say anything.. when i click save the define page i was on just goes away and goes back to the only thing i can do is mess with the pull down for which define page i want to edit and the text editor.

if you are having trouble w/ the admin -> tools-> Define pages editor, you could do it w/ out it, by editing a file directly.
Do you know your way around and FTP cleint?

It is possible that the Define Pages include has been disabled or removed from your template - You need to get FTP access to the files on your server then we can walk you through fixing the problem.

No you don't sound retarded, we were all newbies once (I still am, actually) :)

1. Do you use Windows PC or Mac?
2. Do you have a FTP software?
3. Do you have the username and password to access the server?

Seems like someone turned off the display of the define page either in your custom template or the default Zen Cart template by modifying the code. In this case, nothing you do from your Admin will be of help until you make changes to the affected files ...

Check the following files:

• includes/templates/theme028/templates/templates/tpl_index_default.php
• includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php

and make sure that you uncomment the following line.

<!-- 
<div id="indexDefaultMainContent" class="content"><?php require($define_page); ?></div>
-->

Try it and let us know.
