What is the Easiest Way to Find Files Using DW8?

I'm trying to find some files (for example, define_page_2.php), and while I have found two of them under includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic and includes/languages/english/html_includes/mvk (my custom template), those are evidently not the correct files I need to use to update the pages.

Is there a way to search for other pages that have the same name but are in different directories using DW8? If not, what is the best way to find the other files?

There should also be a copy (the default) in includes/languages/english/html_includes, but you don't want to edit that if you can help it.

No, there's not a copy of the file in there. There is nothing in that folder except a file called english.php

The sub that I had working on this site created such a mess. He must have put the file someplace else, and that is why I'd like to learn how to find my files without searching manually.

There should be twelve "define_" files in /includes/languages/english/html_includes/, as well as the template folders. If they are not there, you should get new copies from a fresh download of the Zen Cart files.

And while you are at it, compare the contents of your site folders with the fresh set using something like Winmerge, to determine what else may be misplaced.

So evidently there is no way to search for files; you just have to "know" where they should be. :ohmy:

You should be able to search for files in your hosting control panel. This is not related to Zen Cart, and nobody else knows what cp you have and how to use it.

Thanks - I can't find it in my cpanel, so I've emailed my hosting provider to see if there is a way to do it through there. That sure would make things easier if I can!
