changing the shipping info text

[mzimmers]

Hi -

So...I'm ready to modify the shipping information on my site. Is this done with the overrides model (creating a new file), or is this done via the cpanel?

And, if the latter, how does this survive upgrades?

Thanks.

Yes, it's done with overrides. The define pages (of which shippinginfo.php is one) are in the includes/languages/english/html_includes folder and you'll save the edited version to includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE

OK, but...the shippinginfo file only contains a few define statements. Where is the actual text that appears in the center column?

Thanks.

Oops - I meant to say define_shippinginfo.php - same path.

Yeah, I figured that was what you meant. My comment above still applies. What might I be missing here?

[stevesh]

My copy of includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_shippinginfo.php contains the following HTML code:

<p><strong>Shipping##Sample Text##...</strong></p>
<p>This section of text is from the Define Pages Editor located under Tools in the Admin.</p>
<p>To remove this section of the text, delete it from the Define Pages Editor.</p>


Delete that and enter whatever you want it to say ...

Aargh...cockpit error. I somehow pulled in a shippinginfo.php file by accident. All these similarly-named files and directories are going to force me to be more careful than I suppose I usually am.

Thanks, Steve.

BTW: I seem to recall reading somewhere in the FAQ about doing this via a control panel. Is there in fact such functionality, and if so, does it operate on the standard files, or my overrides?
