remove heading title and sales message entirely

Well I did a search and looked on the FAQ's etc and expected to find the answer easy-peasy but there was none. Could it be that I'm the only person who wants to remove the heading title and sales message entirely?

Most of all I would love to remove the heading title on the home page. The info in the support section tells you how to change this text, which I already have, but I just feel my design would be better if it were completely removed.

I don't really understand code and my usual approach is to just chop bits out to see what will happen, but I'm a bit scared to do that in this case.

I am currently looking at this bit

/*Replace this text with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'*/
 define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Unique eco-friendly Jewellery and crafts');
} 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', 'Unique eco-friendly Jewellery and crafts'); 
}
?>
```of the relevant index.php file and wondering what will happen if I just chop it out. I'm hoping someone on here will stop me doing something stupid  :shocking:

Any ideas?

If you remove the Title your page will not have a title in your browser bar ... that is stupid. :) Don't do that. To remove any text from a define just leave the empty single quotes.

define('YOUR_CONSTANT','');

Thank you for the reply Kim! I guess that means I am going to have to live with the title, but the information about how to remove text from a define is definitely going to come in useful somewhere else. :D

I guess that means I am going to have to live with the title,
While you can leave this out - as Kim points out this is not smart as this is used by the search engines in ranking any page - no title no searching - no page rank - no traffic

I just want to remove the text completly. What do i modify/put here ?

defineCOLOR="Red"[/COLOR];

I have a new header image already up. we dont need a sales message.
If i just remove the text from the header.php file above leaving the empty quotes, the text is gone however, it cuts off the bottom of my Bg_image so how do i remove the text and keep my logo intact.

thanks
jim

thanks Kobra for the help.
i had read that already i wasnt having problem with text removal just the effect it had on the BG image we got it fixed now thanks again!!

I can't remove the sales maessage goes here, and I have checked and followed the faqs, yet it's still showing...

nothing wrong with my cookies..

I'm having the same problem, I can't seem to get rid of it. I changed the heading sales text to blank and it still does not change it.

... and you put your override file in the correct directory?

If you want to completely remove "Heading Title." that you see by default on your store's front page open this file:

/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php

on line 17 is

<h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>

However like others said it is good for SEO if your browser page title and this text between the <h1> tags match for relevancy of the keywords to your site.
