You have to download and edit the file in the english directory. Are you asking what file to edit or how to edit it?

I have the same question. I can edit the file. I just need to know which it is.

When I go into index I see this script.

However, when I go into the functions directory there are so many files so full of functions that I don't know where to begin to find customer greeting. And I don't like to mess with function files. THAT can get you into major trouble quickly when you don't know what you are doing.

<td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>

I know that it is not proper nettiquette to reply to yourself. But I found it. So to the original poster. In the english file in the languages, toward the bottom there is this line..

define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST ....

Use a good text editor (not Word or any other word processor) and edit to what you want

Actually, justmeir should probably look in /catalog/includes/languages/english/about_us.php

The code you want to change is probably here:

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Put here your Privacy Notice information.');

In that code, change the text:

Put here your Privacy Notice information.

To what you want.

The main proviso is if you have a single tick mark (') in the code, you MUST precede it with a slash (\).

A rudimentary example:

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'I can\'t tell you what the privacy information is because I haven\'t edited the code on my site yet.<br><br>
It won\'t be very long until that happens, so you shouldn\'t have to wait much longer to find out.');

I've even inserted some HTML in the example because you'll need to use that there as well.

I hope this helps.

You're looking at the wrong file in the wrong folder.

Reread my last post, and check where I told you to look...

Sir

Please can you help. I have downloaded a templte called oscdark which is excellent, and my site build is progressing well. However, I do not have a file 'catalog/includes/languages/english/about-us.php'?

Perhaps this was a deliberate removal by the people who built the template?

However, I would like to describe what my company does and place photographs alongside the text to paint a reasonable picture. Can you advise ?

Many thanks

Steve

An about us page isn't part of the standard shop. You have to add it. See the above menu: Network->Knowledge Base for how to do that.
