How to change "congrats" when using custom temp.

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=129 <-- doesnt help.

I edited all the files inside the template folder to say what I want, but it just DOES NOT change the header text, title bar text, or welcome message.

I go into the sophie blue grey template folders and edit it all... NOTHING workS!

Help please.

The directions in the tutorial couldn't be clearer.

1. In the includes\languages\english\ folder, create a folder for your template.
2. Copy includes\languages\english\index.php into includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE
3. open includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\index.php with a text editor like Notepad, Textpad or Crimson Editor. If you're using a Windows system, Notepad is already on your system. Textpad and Crimson Editor are both free to download and use.
4. Near the bottom of the file is this:

  // This section deals with the "home" page at the top level with no options/products selected
  /*Replace this text with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'*/
  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.');
} 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', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.'); 
}

Edit the two lines I've highlighted in red to say whatever you like and then save the file.

Upload the new folder into your ZC store's includes/languages/english/ directory.

If you've done the overrides correctly, you can select your custom template form tools->template selection in the admin. Once you do that, the message will be whatever you entered in the index.php file.

To create a very basic custom template (you can build from there), you need:

• includes\languages\YOUR_TEMPLATE\english.php
• includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\index.php
• includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\header.php (to change the logo)
• includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\template_info.php
• includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\common\tpl_header.php
• includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\images\logo.gif
• includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\css\stylesheet.css

Any where you see a \classic\ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template.

Since you're using a predesigned template, the file you want to edit would be includes\languages\english\sophieblue\index.php. I'm not sure what the template folders are called in this case. sophieblue is my best guess.

Okay so that worked. Now what about the title bar where it says what template I used and the header text? How do I edit that?

Check the list in my earlier post. Just replace "YOUR_TEMPLATE" with the template name for the correct directory. I think what you want to change is in includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\header.php

Thanks man, this helped alot :).

No prob. That's what the forum's here for.
