Still cannot find a way to add text

I still cannot find the way to add text to the one and only check out page that I have. If I have a template file,I can not find it, I can't find any template files. I would like to add text in the check out area just before the submit cart button. Thanks!

Re: Still cannot find a way to add text

Add some stuff to your cart and navigate to the checkout page where you would like to add text to. Copy a phrase or wording that is significant to that page only.

Now go to Admin > Tools > Developers Tool Kit and paste the copied wording into the relevant search facility. I use the "Look-up in all files" found right at the bottom. Now select "All Files - Catalogue/Admin" in the drop down menu in "All Files Look-ups:"

Click the "search" button and you will see all files on your installation that contain the unique phrase you copied and pasted above.

Open the file(s) in your editor and add the desired text. Make sure you have a backup of the page(s) before you make any changes.

Re: Still cannot find a way to add text

I did as suggested and it shows the unique phrase that I know is only on the check out page in all of the catalog admin categories. Language, Function, Classes, Template Files. So I still do not know where to go when I go to define editor??

my site url is: https://www.scrapsake.com and I would welcome any help someone can give to me. The reason this is so important is that it is shipping and pricing information. I have it on my sidebar for shipping but need it right above the submit button. I am charging actualy weight and destination but unless they read that in the shipping side bar, they won't know what they are paying for shipping.
Thanks,
Sandy

In admin, use TOOLS>>DEFINE PAGE EDITOR

On the drop down box pick **define_checkout_success
**Edit away...
You should also see other define pages here..

sorry for the double post... missed reading the bottom of your note...

For the button areas, each page has a define, you should copy them to your template folder...
/includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/checkout_confirmation.php

Look for something like 'CHECKOUT_PROCEDURE' this is the text at the bottom near the continual buttons.

Re: Still cannot find a way to add text

It is the page just prior to check out success, that is the one I cannot find. I have tried page 2 and page 3 but it doesn't work.
