A couple of Questions~Please Help!

HI Everyone! I have almost everything set up and now I am working on the site appearence. I have a few questions and I am hoping that someone will be able to help me :lamo:

Ok First thing is first. How do I get rid of these:
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.

and

Sales Message Goes Here

Also how do I edit these sections:
Sponsors
Have You Seen
and
More Information

And the gradients how do I edit those to add ones that I have made?

Also are we allowed to remove the small zen banner at the top left and if so how, and how would I go about adding a larger banner there?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out. I have worked with CSS before but this here is unfamiliar to me.

Thanks Again

Gina

1. Quicker to just point you here;
   http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Top_10_questions

2. Sponsers; two areas. One control is the actual sidebox via Admin-Tools-Layout Boxes Controller(look for banner box). The other control is Admin-Tools-Banner Manager(you can install new banners there or turn off existing ones).
   Have You Seen; Same as above, but banner box 2.
   More Information; Admin-Tools-Define Pages... From there, you can edit the text for Page 1 etc. To rename the pages... I believe you must rename the pages from within the english.php(best to make an over-ride file) in includes\languages.

3. The Gradients; are in your template/images folder. You can match sizes and just overwrite the original image files or just call them from their own file name via stylesheet.

4. The top logo/banner; yuppers, you can change it to what you wish. The instructions are also in the link above.

If you have any other queries, just ask. I hope I didn't miss anything or steer you in the wrong direction... no coffee and no sleep. :laugh:

Hi! Thanks ffor the help! No matter what I do though I cannot get that message to change or remove it. Is there additional steps I need to take that are not listed? Thanks In Advance!

Hi Gina. Are you having trouble with the "Congratulations! You have successfully..." ?

If so, go to the main(not admin) directory includes/languages/english folder and open up index.php.
At the bottom, you will see two lines like this;

  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.'); 

Omit both sentences(in red), but most importantly keep the single quotes;

  define('HEADING_TITLE', ''); 

To protect this modified file and possibly others, insert a new subfolder(named exactly as your current template folder) into that english folder and copy/paste your index.php into there.

Hopefully, that will solve your woe. :yes:

Nope. I can't believe I didn't specify lol What I can't get to remove is the sales message Sales Message Goes Here I have take out between the single quotes per the instructions, and also replaced but the sales message stays.

Hmmm... the 1.3.5 only requires the one file to either omit or change that. I noticed that the Wiki notes three files in order to change via the previous versions and it's been a long time since I first did that. The best thing I can suggest is that you verify the change right in the file itself and go into Admin-Tools-Developers Tools;
`Perform a search for 'HEADER_SALES_TEXT' and see if other files need attention.

It may be that there is an override in place that you may have missed or something.

Try here:

/includes/languages/english/classic/header.php
