Error after changing 'Welcome to AABox.com\'s MS2-MAX text

**tearlach99** · 05-04-2004, 11:04 PM

Hope you can help...

I have changed the text "Welcome to AABox.com's MS2-MAX" on the front page...

I followed the directions below from another post, and the text changed, but unfortunately I was using the File Manager to edit the file ( I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to do that until now...) and now when I try to log into the cart Admin, I see the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/clwood/public_html/cart/admin/includes/languages/english.php:361) in /home/clwood/public_html/cart/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 86

Can anyone tell me how to undo the terrible thing I've done?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php
Line 38
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to AABox.com\'s MS2-MAX');
Replace the text between the single quotes.
NOTE: If you have single quotes or double quotes within your text; add one forward slash before them as above. .com\'s

Ok,
That is my post. To edit the files - don't use File Manger - use a text editor - textpad from www.textpad.com or ultraedit from www.ultraedit.com are both great.

The problem is at the end or beginning of your php file there
are not allowed to be any blank spaces or lines.
Download one of the above or use Notepad (not rec by me)
Open the file - Go to the end and see
if there is any blank characters after the ?>

Thanks for the reply and help! This is what I see in the file where I made the changes:

?>

The only change that I made was changing the 'Welcome to AABox.com\'s MS2-MAX' to 'Welcome to Chess Master Games'.

I don't see any spaces, but I am completely new at this. I paid someone to install MS2-MAX, and now I am trying to learn how to make changes. Up until now I hadn't broken anything (even though I was editing in the File Manager, oops! I will use UltraEdit now).

Oops, didn't get all of the code pasted in there for you to see on the last post. Here it is again. I don't see any spaces there. Am I missing something?

Open the file in the editor & see if you can click below the last ?>
If so, backspace up to the >
then save & upload.
Note: In your text editor you can show line numbers in the options.
Do this & make sure there are no lines showing below the last ?>

Thanks, Neil!

I was looking in the wrong file. I was looking in the index.php file, but the problem was in the /cart/admin/includes/languages/english.php file. Those spaces were hiding at the end of the file. Thanks a heap for the help.

Slainte mhor,
