Editing the index page.....very noobish

In what ffile do I edit the index page? (Where you have the "Congrats, Zen Cart installation was successful)



Thanks,

There's loads of information in the tutorials/FAQ.

Well, thanks. But that guide didn't seem to answer some very simple questions. Most likely I didn't search hard enough. If there was a search feature on the page it might help.

A few things I want to change:
1. The <title>Title</title>
2. The "Get the owners manual" thing, I want to change that to my own text.


3. This is a layout problem, so I will post in the apporpriate forum as well. If you look at my store: http://doghousegifts.net/store you will see the logo overlaps into the "NavMain" div. I just want it to stay in the header (a.k.a, make the header taller).


Thanks,

BP

Well, since I can't edit.....I have fixed number 3.

I found this in the FAQ in under a minute and I didn't know where it was. It will answer your initial question.

You don't directly edit the index.php file. Lots of the information is parametered.

To create a very basic custom template (you can build from there), you need:

• includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
• includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

Anywhere you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder, the /template_default/ folder or the parent folder.

Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.
