Remove the "congratulation..." line(s)?

[prodesk]

being new to both ZenCart and PHP, I have been unsuccessful in deducing how to simply remove all references to that "Congratulations..." line that appears at the top of the content window on the index page.

I simply want it gone, and then have the "user login" be the fist data in the content window on the index page...

but everything I try ends up with a Parse error, so there must be something else hidden away somewhere that I can't find that also needs to be romoved...

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could point me in the correct direction...

Best Regards
Ken

Thanks much, Like all the other changes where I had found the solution this one too was right before my eyes, but I couldn't see it no matter how hard I looked.

Always nice to know there are friendlies out there to help us new to ZenCart and PHP, it makes life so much less frustrating...

I did this on vers. 1.3.7 and it didn't work.

The switch removes the:

Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in?

This is in your language files:

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.

You can locate where something is by going to the Tools ... Developer's Tool Kit ... and in the bottom input box type in something you are looking for such as code, text or variables etc.

Then select the Catalog and click search ...

This will show you where these are located and then you can use your templates and overrides directory to customize the text ...

To save a lot of repeat typing, please spend some time studying the tutorials (link at the top of the page)

If you want to remove this greeting completely. The file is found at: custom:templates:tpl_index_default.php or this is mine includes/templates/template_default/templates

Remove

<!--<h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>-->

Kobra and wickedstangs ...

You two are the only ones thus far who have actually answered how to REMOVE the Congratulations ... and Would you like to login.

The solution of going into Admin, Config, Layout settings is no where in the Tutorials that I can find and was not mentioned in many of the threads here at the forum.

Seriously, thank you.

I'm knowledgable with Oscommerce, so I had a half idea on where to go to do things, but there is just enough difference in Zencart's code and file layout that I'm still hunting to get things changed.
