Change out "Shopping Cart" images & text

[dkjwebs]

I've got a client who wants to swap out every instance of "Shopping
Cart" and replace it with an image of a jewelry box and refer to it as
"My Jewelry Box".

Is that fairly hard to do? Has anyone here done anything like that?
I'm trying to decide if I want to muddle through it myself or find
someone to out-source it to....

Tip: in admin->tools->developers tool kit, you can look for phrases like "shopping cart".

In includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php, look for

Line #108 : define('BOX_HEADING_SHOPPING_CART', 'Shopping Cart'); 

Line #480 : // shopping cart errors 

Line #482 : define('ERROR_PRODUCT_STATUS_SHOPPING_CART','<br />We are sorry but this product has been removed from our inventory at this time.<br />This item has been removed from your shopping cart.'); 

Line #492 : define('WARNING_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED', 'NOTICE: For your convenience, your current shopping cart has been combined with your shopping cart from your last visit. Please review your shopping cart before checking out.'); 

Line #560 : define('EMPTY_CART_TEXT_NO_QUOTE', 'Whoops! Your session has expired ... Please update your shopping cart for Shipping Quote ...');

The line numbers won't be in the file, but if you use a text editor like Crimson Editor, it'll show you the line numbers. Of course you can just search for the phrase. Replace it with "jewelry box". Be careful not to replace SHOPPING_CART.

I'll have to look around for the image information, but someone else may jump in before I have a chance.

Shopping cart appears other places as well (like includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/shopping_cart.php). Use the tool kit to find them.

At least one of the images is from includes/templates/template_default /buttons/english/button_in_cart.gif or includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/buttons/english/button_in_cart.gif. You can always create the appropriate jewelry box image and put it in the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder. That should get you started.

To clarify, I would just do a search for "shopping cart" in every one of those boxes on the Developers Took Kit page?

I'm still trying to figure out how to do a back up before I make any changes like that. I got the book today but can't find how to do a back-up in there!

Searching the FAQ area for the word "backup" brings up this article on doing database backups: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=103

As for backups of the PHP files, use your FTP program and download the files from the server to your PC. Zip them up if you desire, after downloading.

You don't have to use "every" field ... just the one that's applicable to your needs. If uncertain, use the last one, and choose "All files" from the pulldown, and it'll search everything.

Search for 'shopping cart' in the bottom left box and choose 'All Files Catalog/Admin in the bottom middle dropdown.

What you're after is lines which begin with 'define'. Change the 'shopping cart' in each to what you want it to say. Don't forget to leave the single quote marks, and to place the edited file in the proper override folder.

DrByte and stevesh are right. You won't have to change every occurence, but I wanted you to be aware that there may be other instances of "shopping cart" that will need to be changed.

[dkjwebs]

Okay - got everything backed up and did the search for all the instances of "shopping cart" in the site.

This looks a little dicey since I don't know PHP...yet

This tip from stevesh was very helpful:

What you're after is lines which begin with 'define'.

I guess I'll start there and see if anything else needs to be changed.

Then I need to figure out what the names of the images are that need to be swapped out!

At least I am making some good progress here, thanks to all of you!
