    Default ACK! Customization issues... please please help.

    Hey there. I am having all kinds of odd trouble customizing zen cart. I search all the threads, read all the FAQ's and still I have so many problems.

    Ok, first off I am desperately trying to change the TEXT on the main page that says "New Products for May" and "Featured Products" to my own text. I used the Developers Toolkit and searched and replaced ALL the old text. It still does not work.

    Next I want to alter the way the Featured Product is displayed. Only that one, not anything else. I want the text to the right of the image, I want an 'Add to Cart' button as well. I am fine with the way the others are displayed.

    Last few things I need:

    1) Login form in the right sidebox.

    2) On individual product pages I want to have up to 6 thumbnail images, and one larger image. I want users to be able to mouse over on a thumb and have it change the larger image on the fly. I am guessing some CSS is needed here. See www.mycatwalk.com for what I am talking about. Direct link to a product: http://www.mycatwalk.com.au/pages/runaway-lovers_9.html


    Can anyone please help me out here?

    Here's my site in the works: www.lightswitchclothing.com/catalog

    Thanks so much!

    Too many issues in a single post....

    Featured - You state that you have changed this but apparenyly not in the correct place as it did not change -

    What files and path to them(what folder are they in?) did you change specifically?
    1) Login form in the right sidebox.
    Check in the downloads/sideboxes area for this
    2) On individual product pages I want to have up to 6 thumbnail images, and one larger image. I want users to be able to mouse over on a thumb and have it change the larger image on the fly. I am guessing some CSS is needed here.
    Not css but some js - Look in the downloads/other area for the swap image contrib and read the instruction and look at the code as I believe that this will do the basic function but you might have to tweak it for your intended use

    ok, thanks for the help.

    When I search the Developer toolkit now, there are NO pages that contain the text I want changed. SO i am not sure what else there is to do.

    I search for "featured products" and "New Products" so I can change that text in the php files... i went in and changed them, but it still has that original text!

    Try searching again

    Use the last box at the botom left and enter
    featured products

    In the All Files Look-ups: drop down select all catalog files and then search

    Added:

    What template are you using?

    And if you changed it - what file did you change? (path to it and the file name)

    Thank you Kobra, that really helped. I was searhcing in the wrong box I guess. It's fixed now.

    The template I started with is called "Lavender", but I have modified it a lot. I don;t think there's much left of it at this point.
