How do I change page title?

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=17
This is the FAQ I was following.

[URL=http://img35.imageshack.us/i/pagetitleoverride.png/][IMG]http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/4129/pagetitleoverride.png[/IMG][/URL]
``` - this is what I did. but I'm still seeing the default title. Are you supposed to active the override somewhere? Was I supposed to delete the original meta.php file?

    What is your template name?
    Where did you upload this to - path
    Did you clear your browser cache?

Re: How do I change page title?

see now obviously I'm missing something. I never created a template name. I didn't see that in the instructions. the path is in the picture if you scroll to the right but here it is again

Re: How do I change page title?

You "activate the override" by creating a custom template and selecting it from admin>tools>template selection. See the FAQ/Tutorials for information on creating a custom template or visit http://(sorry, site offline)/ to see the free templates available for Zen Cart in action.

You can't just create one custom folder and expect the override to take place.

Re: How do I change page title?

see that didn't make sense to me either. but I didn't see any more steps. thanks. I'll work on the template. If got this correct what I do is create a template name like "SKI" and then just clone all the "CLASSIC" folders with the new name and then change that template_info.php page. something like that right? then I can edit the stuff in SKI so it'll show up right.

Re: How do I change page title?

Well i'm not sure how to edit so apologizes for the double post.

Thanks again afo. Turns out the template was the problem. I still need find and clone the "Classic Green" and that's going to be a bugger of a job but it will work pretty much as I was trying to get it to work before. Problem solved.

Re: How do I change page title?

You don't need to clone all the folders and files. You only need to copy the files you need to modify. The free templates can be a great learning tool.
