Changing the Congratulations you have successfully installed

I have changed the .php file for the Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution. The ' marks are still there. I have created a folder called Custom

includes/languages/english/custom and put the new index.php file into that. All I get now is a blank page. I have checked and checked and yes that ' mark is there..

('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium .');} elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') { // This section deals with displaying a subcategory /Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'/ define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium .'); }?>

What have I done wrong or what do I need to do..

Help Please.

Thank you

I don't see anything wrong with that section of code and the link you gave has the default message.

I know, the new file is in the Custom folder as it should be but the old file is still index.php and is in the

includes/languages/english

was I suppose to delete that first index.php file..

When I do not use the custom and I do replace the original index.php file the site crashes and become just a blank page..

Thanks

No - definitely not.

For issues with a blank page see this tutorial:

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=82

Most blank page problems are caused by extra lines or spaces at the bottom of the PHP file, often caused by editing the file in something other than a text editor. You might check that first. Otherwise, the error logs in the /cache folder should point to the problem.

I am not getting the blank pages now I'm just not getting the changes made. I have left the original index.php file in

includes/languages/english

I have put the new file in

includes/languages/english here i created a new directory called custom and put it in that..

oh by the way I first edited in Notepad and then edited again in
Notepad ++.. both of them are what I have been told to edit files in from previous stores..

It's a little more complicated than adding one CUSTOM folder. You need to create your CUSTOM template and select it in Admin - Tools - Template Selection

Then make sure your edited file is in the proper CUSTOM folder.

Thanks, I finally got it to work.. I have another question not sure if I should ask it here or can you tell me where to post this.

We are a discount club. Is there anyway I can set it up where you have to be given access to log in and then make your purchases.

or something on that order.. We will have membership dues and people will be joining a club to be able to order from us and I don't want non members just ordering.. any ideas?

Thanks

Check Admin - Configuration - Customer Details - Customer Approval Status - Authorization Pending
