Lorem ipsum placeholder text from templatemonster

Hi im using a template monster template on my website http://www.fuzzys.co.uk
Unmodified it came with this Lorem ipsum placehoder text just above the featured products section of the template. I cant find a way to change this text, any idea on how to change it would be great.

Cheers
Gav

Normally, You should check includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php

But with TM templates this might not be the case.
You might want to go through this thread for more information

NOTE: We are sorry that Clyde is no longer with us.
We are grateful for all his contributions to the Zen Cart community.

thanks for the help Clydejones it looks like a lot of people are having troubles with template monster. You would think that template monster staff would know but they were clueless when i asked them.

Unfortunately, a lot of people have similar problems with TM. You might be able to use the Tools-->Developers Took Kit in the ZC admin panel to find the file. Search for the first three or four words in the phrase and it might pick it up.

Re: Lorem ipsum placeholder text from templatemonster

In their defence this prob isnt a silly place to edit the text, there just should have been a note in the template somewhere directing customers to it.

Actually, it is a silly place to edit the text, because Zen Cart has definite places for text. The home page text goes in define_main_page.php.

Since when has TM ever followed common sense? ;)

I wholeheartedly agree. Hardcoding text into a template file is unprofessional and daft. It caused you extra work to find it, prevented us from being to help you quickly and completely compromises Zen Cart's multilingual capabilities for those of those of their customers operating in more than one language.
