Help with Congratulations! you have successfully installed..."

Hi , I know there have been numerous posts on this issue, but I have followed the steps in the FAQ,
I Replaced the text starting “Congratulations” with my text. There was no includes/languages/ENGLISH/CUSTOM/ folder so I created one. Then I Saved the edited file to includes/languages/ENGLISH/CUSTOM/index.php and uploaded it to my server. But the same message appears "Congratulations! you have successfully installed..." what am i doing wrong..can someone please help. maybe Im just not following

You need to at least copy other files to create your own template and override the defaults.

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/common/tpl_footer.php
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
• includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

Anywhere you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder, the /template_default/ folder or the parent folder.

Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.

Ok I've done all that..the template name is Knelly and now when I open the template to preview i get error message " The requested URL /store/includes/templates/knelly/images/scr_template_default.jpg was not found on this server." Now what did I do wrong/

Never mind last post, I figured that out ..now I edited the file includes/languages/knelly/index.php to repalce the satndard greeting with my own, but it still comes up with standard greeting? any ideas?

Did you select your knelly template in the admin under tools->template selection?

includes/languages/knelly/index.php

the proper path should be includes/languages/**english/**knelly/index.php

Kim:

the proper path should be includes/languages/**english/**knelly/index.php

:blink: It's late and I'm a little freaked at the moment so I missed that.

Thanks for the help ..so far so good...just a couple of more questions..
Is there a way to remove completley the
'HEADER_SALES_TEXT', and the logo (i deleted this) but still getting
'HEADER_ALT_TEXT', showing up in banner...how can I get rid of both, any ideas?

The best way to remove that information is to delete the text and leave just the two single quotes like this ''.
