Deleting "Congratulations!" and "Welcome Guest!" Lines

[Drewster]

Is there any way to completely delete the two lines "Congratulations! you have successfully installed..." and "Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in"?

I read here how to change the text; but I want to remove those two lines completely.

I tried just deleting the text from the includes/languages/ENGLISH/index.php file and not replacing it with anything, but then I get a line that says 'HEADING_TITLE' in its place.

I guess I need to remove the call for those two lines entirely?

For the type of store I'm building, I don't need either of those two lines of text. Anybody know how to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Thanks in advance!

When you edit this you MUST retain the set of single quotes...

Thanks Kobra!

However, that's not what I want to do. I read that tutorial about changing the text; but I want to delete it entirely.

I figured out how to turn OFF the Customer Greeting in my Admin. But how can I turn OFF the "Congratulations! you have successfully installed..." line? There's no where in Admin where I can do that -- unless I'm totally missing something.

A lot of searches instruct you how to change the text...but none that I can find tell you how to turn it OFF. Make sense?

Replace the text starting “Congratulations” with your own text. Make sure that the single quote marks are not left out.

As you have edited this file, albeit incorrectly:

Did not leave the single quotes - So you got the above displayed.
Replace with your text - if that is to be nothing then:

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.');
}

To

define('HEADING_TITLE', '');
}

NOTE: Pair of single quotes remain

The Welcome Guest message can be turned off in the admin panel.

Conifguration --> Layout Settings. Customer greeting message.

OK, I am a serious newb here and cannot figure out where to go wo change this text. Is there somewhere in the admin area that will allow me to change this? How do I access the area where this code is written?

The "congratulations" message isn't in the admin. It's in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php. There are instructions in the tutorials/FAQ section.
