Take a look in the includes/languges/english.php file.

Jack

Find the following line and change it to what you want it to say [code define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a>? Or would you prefer to <a href="%s"><u>create an account</u></a>?'); [/code]
I cannot find this in the includes/languges/english.php file. Where else can it be found, I am trying to open up 11 stores and I don't see this?
Let me say thank you in advance

It should be there. It might be that your text has been ordered or the code on the index page changed to load it from somewhere else. Try searching the english.php file for just:
TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL

Hi

I have tried to use the STS template system as I was told it would be easier to alter the parts I needed to.

Problem is I keep trying to alter it but as you can see I don't have a clue what part alters the font size in the main image section. (or anywhere else for that matter!

http://www.mistatees-rc.co.uk/catalog/index.php in case you need to see what i mean.

Thanks in advance

I have searched and searched, but can't seem to find the "Go to catalog/includes/languages/English/index.php"
I am a total novice and maybe I installed this incorrectly, but I am completely lost and am wondering if I can do this. Please help!

I think what is happening here is those of us that are new have downloaded the (Beta)

source code v3.0 and the answers we are getting is for program ver 2.*. It's OK for me

I just playing around with the source code in the beta but I think if you want a

working source you need to go back to the prev. ver. and start there to get answers

from users of this great source code. I personally like this one.

I think what your looking for in this ver. is /includes/languages/en_US.xml

Hi,
I have 2 ecommerce shops and followed step 21 to try and centre my shops. On one site, http://www.ironmongeryshoponline.co.uk this worked fine, but on the 2nd, http://www.door-handles-knobs.co.uk it hasn't. In fact on this site I get different widths for different pages.
Ive checked the coding and cannot see what could be wrong.
Totally baffled

Look at the HTML source:

Quote

<table align="center" border="0" width="770"><tbody><tr><td>

On some pages the horizontal size of every thing exceeeds that width.

Try finding the path without the "catalog/". When you installed the program, you may not have told it to install in "catalog", so it's just www.name.com/includes/languages/english/index.php. It's not wrong. I do it all the time.

I think it's easier to use your design inside of OSCommerce. Copy all of the code for your current site (from BODY to /BODY) into includes/languages/english/index.php, line 13, where it says "define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup...blah blah blah');
Change that line to define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Your code here');

Inside of the single quotes, make sure there aren't any other single quotes...like "aren't". If you have a single one, it will result in a blank white page. Replace "aren't" with "aren\'t" and it should work.

When I add another column such that i have three columns of products in the centre of my site under the New Product module from admin, As right column of the infoboxes shifts outwards accordingly, both the header, (with my logo) and the footer do not follow suit, they remain in their original positions and out of line. How do I make them move outward as I add the 3rd column of products?

Secondly, adding banners from admin does not seem to result in them showing up on my store

What could be solutions to these?

Thanks in advance

Hi, i'm newbie here.

i've already post this problem at other thread but no response. Just try my luck to re post here.
I've problem during installation osCommerce v2.2. When i put the required database server parameters the following error occured:

[There was a problem connecting to the database server. The following error had occured:

Access denied for user 'easthcom'@'svr10.internet-webhosting.com' (using password: YES)

Please verify the connection parameters and try again.]

my website: www.eastcomputech.com
main domain: eastcomputech.com
home directory: /home/easthcom
Shared Ip Address: 202.75.36.34
to acces the cpanel : www.eastcomputech.com/cpanel
the username and password to access the cpanel: username: easthcom
password: ********

the osCommerce database i name it: catalog
So the database will be: easthcom_catalog
username: admin
password: *******

so the parameter during installation osCommerce should be:

Database server: 202.75.36.34
Username: easthcom
Password: ********
database name: easthcom_catalog

when i click continue, the problem as mention above. What should i do?

please help.

define('DB_SERVER', 'usually an ip address, path, or localhost. Log in to PHPMyAdmin to find out or contact your web host.');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'username you use to log in to phpMyAdmin');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'password you use to log in to phpMyAdmin');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'name of your database you created in phpMyAdmin/mysql');

I doubt your database server is similar to your web IP address.
Did you create a database prior to proceeding with install?

It's a good thing you posted fake credentials regarding your website, cpanel, etc. If those were accurate, you'll be hacked before you know it.

3. … Change the Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in? Or would you prefer to create an account on the front page?

Hello,

OSC came pre-installed via my webhost and am currently trying to configure etc. The line in the directions above does not exist in the mentioned file catalog/includes/languages/English/index.php, is there somehwere else that this line can be found?

Thank you.

I know this is ancient but I had this same question today and figured it out on my own.
Answer: One level up in the includes\languages folder in the english.php file Almost at the bottom line 286 or so you'll find it.
