Need to change store info.

Zen-cart is already loaded on my test site. I need to make changes to the original Store information that was filled in on Install.
Question: What file would I find that info in and can I make changes via mySQL database/file manager?
Thanks in advance for your help:lookaroun

Re: Need to change store info.

It depends on exactly what you want to change, but a lot of stuff can be edited in Admin. https://www.yoursite.com/admin if the admin folder name hasn't been changed.

A little more information about what you want to do would help.

I need to change owner name, postal code and street address. I inadvertently put in my home residence info and my name instead of actual store owners name.

admin -> configuration -> my store

Re: Need to change store info.

I don't have a my store file or folder. I haven't changed the admin names yet. What I'm actually looking for is the form you fill out when you first start the new installation of the Zen Cart Application.:frusty:
Thanks again for any help.

Re: Need to change store info.

In your Zen Cart admin, you should have a Configuration tab. Under Configuration, look for "my store". The info you want will be listed under that. It's not a folder or file.

Re: Need to change store info.

I don't have a file or folder in configuration named my store. This thing has taken up enough of my time and everyone else who helped. I want to do a re-install, what steps should I follow? Is there a step by step zen-cart document o this procedure?
Thanks again everyone:frusty:

Re: Need to change store info.

Can you log into the admin of the Zen Cart?

Yes I can. But don't seem to be able to find, what I would call the company profile document.

Log into Admin, go to the link on the top navigation that says Configuration, then the drop down that says My Store. That's where you'll find all the fields you need to edit.

Re: Need to change store info.

I think you are stuck in a "html page" mindset...

... don't worry; most of us were there in our early days of zencart :D

Dynamic content sites store "commonly used information" in a database. ie: data that is used throughout the site in a variety of situations...

... The data is "called up" and assembled into the web-page, as and when it is needed. This is an efficient system, as it means you only have to enter information ONCE, and the code then deals with how it is to be used.

Follow the advice given above if you want to change factual data about your store (name, address, emails, telephone, location, etc...)

If you want a "page" that is more along the lines of "About Us", then you can use a spare "defined page", or create an EZpage.
