Tutorial Help - I can't find the files mentioned

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.

Ron

"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! :clap:

Ok TY

Ron

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.

Ron

I am DL filezilla, Do I want to install the source code too?

I personally don't use Filezilla - largely because it does not encrypt passwords, and there is a lot of evidence that this vulnerability contributes to serious hacks all over the world.

I use Ipswitch's WS-FTP-pro, which is good value (I think).

Preferably put questions on the forum...

That way, other who may have a similar problem can find the range of advice being offered.

... besides... it's a good idea to allow others to comment as well - I may not be giving appropriate advice, so a public forum is a better insurance policy for everyone! :D
