kpiper Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I just took over an OSCommerce site. I am new to OSCommerce. I need to update the store hours on the "Contact Information" page in the OSCommerce store. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access the original content in order to update the hours! The website is http://cowcatcher.us/store/catalog/index.php. Can anyone tell me where to go inside the store settings to update the "Contact Information" page? Thanks SO MUCH in advance for your assistance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtcoInc Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 @kpiper The site in question uses an older version of osCommerce. Before we can assist you, you're going to have to tell us exactly which version of osC you have. If you don't know how to determine that, just ask.

kpiper Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Hi Malcolm! Thank you! Yes, please let me know how to determine the version of OSCommerce. :) Kip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtcoInc Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 @kpiper Do you have access to the files on the server? If so, look at the file in /catalog/includes/version.php. What does it say? Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtcoInc Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 You can also look at /catalog/includes/languages/english/conditions.php Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpiper Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Found it! It's version 2.3.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtcoInc Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 @kpiper Do you have the necessary rights to access, edit, and/or upload files to your host? You will need to edit the file I mentioned in my 3rd post (see above). You will need a PLAIN TEXT editor (such as Notepad or Notepad++), *NOT* something line Word, Pagemaker, or Dreamweaver. That file may have a combination of HTML and plain text. Are you comfortable in making those edits? Do you know how to either edit the file in place, or download it, edit it, and then upload it back to the server? Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpiper Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 EXCELLENT!!!!! Yes, I can make the proper edits. Thank You SO SO Much!!!!! It can be a challenge "inheriting" another designer's site. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtcoInc Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 @kpiper Since you are taking over the maintenance of this site, this might be a good time to recommend upgrading the shop to the newer version of osCommerce. Your version (2.3.4) is several years old, and will crash when your host upgrades their version of PHP. Besides, the new version of osC is also responsive, which means that it works well on smart phones and tablets. Plus, Google is giving extra points to sites that are responsive, While it would mean starting a new store from scratch, you should be able to transfer all of your products and customer data from your old site to the new store.
