Tutorial Help - I can't find the files mentioned

[Kidrockz69]

Hello

I am trying to edit the zencart. I am reading thru the tutorials on how to change Logo, Sales Message here, Header, and other things.

My problem is, the path that the tutorial shows:

includes/languages/ENGLISH/index.php
includes/languages/english/custom/header.php

Don't exist in my files.

Am I missing something here.

"custom" refers to your custom template folders, which you'll
need to add. Search the Tutorials/FAQS for information on "overrides', and learn how to set up your custom template folders before altering files.

Welcome to Zen Cart!

Ok TY

Okay another problem

I don't have Includes/Templates.

My Include file has: Auto Loaders, boxes, classes, extra configures, extra datafiles, functions, graphs, int_includes(which has a ini_templates.php file), javascript, languages, local, modules.


Am I suppose to create the template folder, with the folders Images, and icons in it?


Sorry for being stupid, but i think I'm missing folders or I have a dif. version of zencart

You are probably looking in admin/includes

Go UP a level and you will see the following (and perhaps other folders and files)

admin
cache
download
editors
email
images
includes
media
pub

Inside includes

... you will see templates

Inside templates you will see:

classic
template_default

This is where you will start off your OWN custom template, so refer to TShooter's post about the CUSTOM TEMPLATE tutorial

You were right, I was in Admin. But From Folder zencart/ My last folder is images. in your detail.

Example:
Zencart
admin+
cache (empty)
docs (empty)
download (empty)
editors+
email (empty)
extras (empty)
images +

If your zencart is working, then it HAS to be using includes .

You are probably looking in the wrong level altogether...

Without these folders (AND their contents):

admin
cache
download
editors
email
images
includes

... zencart just will not work at all...

and without those, a huge array of functions will fail.

... so, look for the true installation... Are you running from an ADD-ON domain, or Sub Domain? the PATH to the install could be different from where you are looking...

It is working. http://www.cortexx-salon.com/zencart

I am using Dreamweaver cs4 for uploading the pages. I think I fig. it out. I am always in Local view in DW. I just switched to remote view and see the folders.

DO NOT use Dreamweaver to FTP or edit zencart files (unless you are a complete whizz at php and understand ZC extremely well.)

You should use a proper, dedicated FTP program. I use Ipswitch's WS-FTP-Pro , but there are some free programs such as Filezilla.

Your installation is in the zencart folder - not the root folder on your server.

It looks like something was sent to root, but ignore that... you need to look in public_html/zencart

public_html may have a different name on your server, like www

Well I can't say I am a wizz at PHP, but I am fairly good at reading the code. DW will not allow me to even open the file remotely. My file structer is this in DW.

Folder /(no name)
_db_backups+
CSS+
flash+
images+
php_uploads+
Scripts+
Shop+(which I created to try and change the name from zencart to Shop)
Site_swish+
stats+
SWF+
zencart+


so is filezilla mozilla firefox app for uploading and editing? or should I purchase a goos one. I use Adobe master collection suite.
