I am working on setting a donation page for a non profit organization.
I want to change the text that says "buy now" by "donate now" ...
I went to index.php but I couldn't find the exact line ...
Somebody can help?

Hi,

You talk about the "Buy Now" button ?
If this is right, you may replace or edit the button.  I recommend to rename the original button and to use a copy for editing.  
Don't forget that if you simply replace a particular button, the new one will be displayed everywhere in place of the original.

The buttons are located at:    /includes/languages/english/images/buttons/

ALWAYS do a Backup BEFORE Modifying !!

Luis,


Since you have just posted your first question in this forum, I am going to assume you are using osCommerce v2.3.1. If that is the case, then the information Guy gave you is incorrect.  To change the language for the buttons, open the /includes/languages/english.php and look for this line:


define('IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW', 'Buy Now');


Change it to suit your needs.

Chris,

Thanks for your info. It worked!

I have two more questions about editing text, not sure if I can post it here too. I will, but if it is not allowed by forum rules, I will create a new thread.

In the same buy now text section, on top I have the following table headers:
Product  Name+   Price    Buy Now
How can I change that?

Thanks Chris,



Chris

I am using osCommerce v2.3.1. Where do you go to change the size of the Buy Now button?

strange-because in the midst of figuring out the various css styles so I can change fon sizes for various text, my BuyNow buttons are much larger than they were before. Nothign else has changed so how could hte buttons get so much larger. They are not graphics so something is changing the size of the buttons.

[kymation]

The buttons are created by Javascript and CSS, so they can be affected by the surrounding styles. For example, changing the columns that are displayed on the Category pages will change the width of the Buy Now column, thereby changing the width of the Buy Now buttons.

Other than that effect, Satish is right: the buttons can't be changed in the Admin. You will need to edit the code on the pages to change them. Since the buttons appear on multiple pages and the code is different on each page, you will need to tell us where you want to change the button size so we can give you the code.

When you click on a category and there is a listing of products
When you click on a manufacture and there is a listing of products.

The code for those buttons is in catalog/includes/modules/product_listing.php. The code for the buttons looks like this:

			$prod_list_contents .= '		<td align="center">' . tep_draw_button(IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW, 'cart', tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing['products_id'])) . '</td>';

To make the button smaller, change it to this:

			$prod_list_contents .= '		<td align="center"><span style="font-size:0.8em;">' . tep_draw_button(IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW, 'cart', tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action', 'products_id')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing['products_id'])) . '</span></td>';

To change the size to something other than my default (80% of normal) you need to change the font-size:0.8em;.
