Default Website design help

Hi

I need some advice from someone in the know.

I decided to have a fiddle with a Zen Cart website, but am totally confused.

I am trying to put in the shipping and T&C's etc but though it looks ok in the editor when I save it and look at the website it just goes crazy

I've spent an hour so far just trying to get it right and am just about to call it quits on the whole thing I know what I want and how it should be it's just not working

Someone has taken pity on me and decided to help set it up so that all I need to do is add products and make it pretty

Maybe I should leave it to the proffessionals in future

I've just done a zen cart site for a client, and it was very clunky.

I mean, in the sense its way too powerful, but the clients are getting used to it. The WYSIWIG editor is ok, just check out the code every so often.

I have now got a template up on the site and just fiddeling now.

I had a nightmare with the WYSIWYG editor and the basic template that Zen Cart came with. It decided to put the writing all over the place

But I am now fixed and adding bits and bobs. Just got to get rid of the congratulations statement on the home page

The "congratulations for installing zencart part?"

Open up the file:

includes/languages/english(if your using english )/index.php in your code editor (notepad can do it too) and line 56 allows you to redefine it like this:

PHP Code:
  /*Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'*/


  
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.'); 
change it to (note the apostrophe's still in place e.t.c, these must stay or you break the code.

PHP Code:
  /*Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: 'Welcome to My SHOP!'*/
  
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to NicksyB.com');
