changing the shipping info text

Hi -

So...I'm ready to modify the shipping information on my site. Is this done with the overrides model (creating a new file), or is this done via the cpanel?

And, if the latter, how does this survive upgrades?

Thanks.

Re: changing the shipping info text

Yes, it's done with overrides. The define pages (of which shippinginfo.php is one) are in the includes/languages/english/html_includes folder and you'll save the edited version to includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE

Re: changing the shipping info text

OK, but...the shippinginfo file only contains a few define statements. Where is the actual text that appears in the center column?

Thanks.

Oops - I meant to say define_shippinginfo.php - same path.

Re: changing the shipping info text

Yeah, I figured that was what you meant. My comment above still applies. What might I be missing here?

Re: changing the shipping info text

My copy of includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_shippinginfo.php contains the following HTML code:

<p><strong>Shipping##Sample Text##...</strong></p> <p>This section of text is from the Define Pages Editor located under Tools in the Admin.</p> <p>To remove this section of the text, delete it from the Define Pages Editor.</p>

Delete that and enter whatever you want it to say ...

Re: changing the shipping info text

Aargh...cockpit error. I somehow pulled in a shippinginfo.php file by accident. All these similarly-named files and directories are going to force me to be more careful than I suppose I usually am.

Thanks, Steve.

BTW: I seem to recall reading somewhere in the FAQ about doing this via a control panel. Is there in fact such functionality, and if so, does it operate on the standard files, or my overrides?
