Changing text in shopping_cart page

I am trying to change the text in the shopping cart contents page. It's the fist page in the checkout process that has the shipping estimator. I have changed it before but forgot which file it was.

Thanks

Don't feel bad... I had to search for a long time before remembering where it was, and I had just done this a month ago:)

Re: Changing text in shopping_cart page

A note that may help others with this problem help themselves -

If you want to change some existing text on your site, take a distinctive snippet of it and paste it in admin > Tools > Developers Toolkit, lower left box, select all files and search. Among the results will be the file and line number where it is defined.

Re: Changing text in shopping_cart page

Hello, I need to change the headers on step 1 and step 2 of the checkout process. Ones like: FREE SHIPPING!, Discount Coupon, Payment Method, Your total, etc.

All the website text is white since the website has a dark background. However on these 2 pages the headers show up black and it is hard to read.

The url is http://www.rockymtnshops.com/classywares/index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping

It is the latest version of Zen Cart - I just downloaded it a couple of weeks ago and I have the free shipping module installed.

I have looked in the css file but couldn't find it. Could someone tell me where color of that text is defined?

Thank you.

Re: Changing text in shopping_cart page

Try installing the Firefox browser and the Web Developer plugin for Firefox. You can use those to see where in the stylesheet you change the styling of the various page elements.

Ctrl-Shift-Y will allow you to hover over a section of the page and see the class and id names for that section in the box at the top. The statements in the stylesheet that begin with # are id's and the ones that begin with dots are classes.

Ctrl-Shift-E will open the CSS editor and allow you to edit the stylesheet and see the changes in real time without changing anything permanently. A very handy tool.
