To modify welcome text:
http://guide.oscdox.com/Modification...nd_Welcome.htm

Edit these lines:
Code:
define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', 'Welcome back <span class="greetUser">%s!</span> Would you like to see which <a href="%s"><u>new products</u></a> are available to purchase?');
define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL_RELOGON', '<small>If you are not %s, please <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a> with your account information.</small>');
define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="%s"><u>log yourself in</u></a>? Or would you prefer to <a href="%s"><u>create an account</u></a>?');
While in there, take a look around... There are a ton of other text changes you can make!

Ivan - if you click the link it will tell you.

But FYI - /catalog/includes/languages/english/default.php

This is actually contained in catalog/includes/functions/general.php for anyone else who wants to make changes.

Here is an updated guide page that covers text changes and code changes for MS1:

http://www.oscdox.com/modules.php?op...ntroAndWelcome

Note: general.php contains the function that generates the greeting, but does not define the actual text. That is done in the /catalog/includes/languages/__english.php__ file, as of MS1.

Just to correct all of these posts for newbies like myself:

This change is REALLY located in (atleast in my shop code) in the english.php file located in catalog/inlcudes/languages. Do a search for 'welcome' and you will find it easily.

And you can change colors/fonts etc in stylesheet.css in catalog/ dir.

HTH,
Phil
