laughingbuddha - tried your suggestion to no avail. Template selection is like yours. I am tired and still not even 9PM here and I am ready for bed, which is rare due to I usually don't even think about bed till 1 or 2 AM. I will look into it more later.:wacko:

I am getting this on my site Poser Underground when I go to the cart

Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in?
This is the main define statement for the page for english when no template defined file exists. It is located in: /includes/languages/english/index.php
Define your main Index page copy here.

What would be a fix for this?

Sorry, if I put my 2 cents, but if I understood right, you would like to change the text under the welcome guets, right?
If you dont find it where it is said to be located, try in the admin:

Tools/developers tool kit

At the bottom it says:

Look-up in all files Key or Name:

enter part of the text you would like to change for example* :
main define statement *and choose in > All Files Look-ups: from dropdown ´All files - cataloge/admin

Hopefully you get the result where to locate the file...

Good luck...

I am not following you - what drop down are you talking about?

Sorry if Iwas not clear,

when you enter in admin:

tools>developers tool kit

at the bottom of the page you will find something like**Look-up in all files **and the you are asked to enter some key words, in your case it could be for example * main define statement *(type it in there, please)

Then looking at the same line on the right, you are asked to enter WHERE to look for, it is saying
**All Files Look-ups: **and NONE is determined, you have to chose from this dropdown menu *All files - cataloge/admin

*Hit the ´search´ button and hopefully it will be shown all files containg the key words...

Please let me know, if I still was not explaining enough...

In that case try using my first option, and edit the file called /includes/languages/english/index.php

The includes directory is in the root of your web space.

You see my site (https://www.themobilephonesite.co.uk) works differntly to yours. On the site I developed the template shows products in the middle field, by-passing Zen Carts default index page.

It appears (without being able to look at your file structure) that your template doesn't work in the same way.

If you edit that file above as I mentioned in my first post, it may solve the problem.

Open it in Notepad (in Windows it's what I always use, or you could download Komodo Edit).

Open that file and edit the following line:-

define('TEXT_MAIN','This is the main define statement for the page for english when no template defined file exists. It is located in: <strong>/includes/languages/english/index.php</strong>');

So it looks something like this:-

define('TEXT_MAIN','Hi and welcome to the Poser Underground online store!');

Then save it, and upload. Always backup the old file just incase something goes wrong.

Hi Kruna,

I can't find your news section. Can you send me another link so I can see what the problem is and try to assist you.

Matt

Thanks a lot for help, sure...

Here is the news section of my new site... (it is not live yet)

Does this one work well in 1.3.7 with no bug? I want to have a news section for my site and wordpress integration does not work well for me.
Regards

Yeah works fine with the latest version, after all I'm running it on the latest one.

Only issue I had was with the news scroller side box. Couldn't get that to work.

Right I'm on the case. I'm think some CSS magic might be the answer, just need to locate the pages that effect the layout.

Just to check, have you copied all the CSS files into the right place?

If you have a template like I do you need to make sure the following files are in the right place.

Make sure that stylesheet_news.css is in:-

includes/templates/Your Templates Directory Mine is delta-843/css/

Reason I ask is that the images on my news articles are aligned to the right, and not the left like yours.

Matt

Thank you Matt for any hints, but yes I do have the news.css in the right folders...the odd thing is (at least to me) that when I use the FF web developer to view the style information it says...NO INFO...:mellow:

Any idea :blush:?

reagrds,
kruna

I use Notepad in windows to edit the stylesheet_news.css file.

I don't use or know what FF is.

If you can't use Notepad Wordpad is another good option, or failing that Dreamweaver can read them happy.

If your still not getting any results from viewing it in any of them, then chances are the file is corrupt, which would be why the styles aren't being applied to your site.

If that's the case let me know and I will stick my stylesheet_news.css file up so you can download it.

Matt

Thanks MAtt,

FF is Firefox and I have an addon called Webdeveloper, it is pretty good for newbe´s like me.
So when I wanted to change something I easily found it with this tool, but these two things (second thing would be the text of the article) I cant get changed.

Another question I had...how do I delete images again...I havent seen any delete button or else.

Well it would be great if you could send it, I really have no solution anymore, tried out everything I could without success...

thanks a lot in advanced.

kruna

That Worked thanks

Attachment #2656

I had to zip it up to get it on the forum.

Just unzip and replace your current stylesheet_news.css which should be in:

includes/templates/ name of template forlder /css/

Hopefully that will do the job.

I don't tend to use fire fox much only for testing development work.

Matt

Glad to see its sorted.

Hello Matt,

thanks a lot for teh file, but unfortunalty it didnt work either. It even didnt change anything.

I may should upload teh mod again to see if it helps..

REgards,
kruna

also uploading all the files doesnt change anything....the only idea which comes to mu mind is that it may have to do something with the .sql, would this be possible?

regards,
kruna

Just had a look at the SQL code and no. Nothing that seems to effect the layout of the page.

Try reloading everything. Failing that I will take a look it again later today.
