Help: Spanish version goes blank when changing index.php

So I just uploaded the **Spanish front end only pack **and as soon as I uploaded it, it worked, but of course I need to make some adjustments as taking out the greeting line and change the logo in the header, etc.

Anyways, I decided to start by making some changes to the INDEX.PHP file and placed it inside includes/languages/spanish/MYCUSTOM/index.php. I refreshed my website and now when clicking on the SPANISH FLAG in just loads a blank page. how can I fix it?

Also, in the **SPANISH PACK **there is a folder named SIMPLE ZEN where there is an header.php file (besides the one that is in the Spanish main directory)... what should I do with it? should I move it to MYCUSTOM folder? when making changes to the header.php, should I make it in the **SIMPLE ZEN **folder???

BTW - the pack does not come with installation instructions.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Re: Help: Spanish version goes blank when changing index.php

I just decided to DELETE the index.php that I had made updates to from** includes/languages/spanish/**MYCUSTOM folder, and now the website in both english and spanish appears as well. NEVERTHELESS, I need to make changes to my index.php in spanish and other php files in Spanish, so I need to know the following:

**1. **should I just override the existing files without placing them in MYCUSTOM folder under the Spanish directory? The files I need to change reside on includes/languages/spanish

  1. I need to change **HEADER.PHP **but I show two:
  • ** includes/languages/spanish/header.php
    -m includes/languages/spanish/simple_zen/header.php**

which one should I change?

I am kind of confused about the SIMPLE_ZEN folder.. in the English directory there is none such folder so I don't know why in the Spanish directory it exists and why when I saved INDEX.PHP in the MYCUSTOM folder that I created under the Spanish directory it did not take it.

Thanks!
