Where to edit shopping cart message?

Your shopping cart page does actually have the right container div:```
... method="post"><div id="cartInstructionsDisplay" class="content">For more information regarding Gift Certif...

/includes/languages/english/gv_redeem.php

Line #24 : define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'For more information regarding ' . TEXT_GV_NAME . ', please see our <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_GV_FAQ, '', 'NONSSL').'">' . GV_FAQ . '.</a>'); 

It appears that the gift certificate version of that constant is being defined. If so, it cannot be redefined by the correct shopping cart version, even if it tries. (Actually, if it tries, it will cause a PHP error and crash.)

:shocking:Well, it looks that I have a bit of a problem here. My shopping cart version is v1.3.9h. Is there any way to solve this?

For starters, change TEXT_INFORMATION to TEXT_INFORMATION_GVR in both relevant files:

/includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/gv_redeem.php

Line #24 : define('TEXT_INFORMATION_GVR', 'For more information regarding ' . TEXT_GV_NAME . ', please see our <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_GV_FAQ, '', 'NONSSL').'">' . GV_FAQ . '.</a>');

/includes/templates/RI_TEMPLATE_07/templates/tpl_gv_redeem_default.php

Line #19 : <div id="gvRedeemDefaultMainContent" class="content"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION_GVR; ?></div>

This will force that define to only ever apply to the gv_redeem page. If that frees up the correct define to operate, your problem is solved. (At least the symptom is solved... still don't know why it was trying to do that in the first place...)

Thanks for the reply gjh42,

There isn't this file in the shopping cart:

/includes/templates/RI_TEMPLATE_07/templates/tpl_gv_redeem_default.php

Do you reckon this might be the cause of the problem? Should I upload this file from the zencart v1.3.9h (my version).

I've changed already the other one following your instructions.

:no: no change

So the shopping cart page is still outputting the text now defined for TEXT_INFORMATION_GVR? That means that somewhere TEXT_INFORMATION is still defined the same way.

Try a search in the DTK for

For more information regarding

and see if there is any other file that has that. (Ignore any that are definitely not related to this case, but have different messages that just happen to contain those words.)

What do you have in /includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/shopping_cart.php around <div id="cartInstructionsDisplay" ?

You might try it in the other direction, changing TEXT_INFORMATION to TEXT_INFORMATION_SC in the above file and in /includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/shopping_cart.php.

By the way, in your post #9 above, the "bit" of text is actually two completely separate output items. What we have been discussing is only the second part.

In fact I just checked the files in my template folder and there is not shopping_cart.php file

I don't know if to cry or laugh :blink:

What do you have in /includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/shopping_cart.php around <div id="cartInstructionsDisplay" ? Sorry, that should have been /includes/templates/RI_TEMPLATE_07/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php.
If you don't have a customized copy in your template folder, you would look at the original in /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php.

The /extra_definitions/ folder is only for files that are not present in a stock install. You should not have /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/RI_TEMPLATE_07/gv_redeem.php when there is /includes/languages/english/gv_redeem.php; make any edits in /includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/gv_redeem.php.

This may be the cause of the issue, as all /extra_definitions/ files are autoloaded for all pages.

Hi gjh42,

What do you have in /includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/shopping_cart.php around <div id="cartInstructionsDisplay" ?
Sorry, that should have been /includes/templates/RI_TEMPLATE_07/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php.
If you don't have a customized copy in your template folder, you would look at the original in /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php.

This is what I have:

<div id="cartInstructionsDisplay" class="content"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?></div>

The /extra_definitions/ folder is only for files that are not present in a stock install. You should not have /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/RI_TEMPLATE_07/gv_redeem.php when there is /includes/languages/english/gv_redeem.php; make any edits in /includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/gv_redeem.php.

When you say make any edits in /includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/gv_redeem.php you mean remove this file? I suppose it is so, since I already have the file you mentioned.

You should not have /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/RI_TEMPLATE_07/gv_redeem.php.
Delete that file; I think it is causing the issue you have.

All of your customization should be in
/includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/gv_redeem.php.

Well, finally it seems we are getting somewhere. Thank you gjh42,

I deleted that file, and I did the customization in
/includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/gv_redeem.php.
and the site went down. I redid the customization and the text I wanted appeared. Then I checked in which files the text is, as I put it in some places, and I found it in 4 different places.

/includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/login.php

/includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/shopping_cart.php

/includes/languages/english/login.php

/includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php

I went for, /includes/languages/english/RI_TEMPLATE_07/shopping_cart.php, to do some editing but I can do some but not much, do you thing having that text in four different places is interfering with it?

Make a small change in each of those defines (say add the folderpath of the current file to each define) so you know for sure which file is actually being used where. Ignore
/includes/languages/english/login.php
and
/includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php
since the override versions of each of those will cause these originals to be ignored by Zen Cart.

And search the DTK for a snippet of the other part of text that you want to change, to find which file defines that.
