Thank you for your help in advance.

Code:

define&#40;'TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', 'Welcome back &lt;span class="greetUser">%s!&lt;/span> Would you like to see which &lt;a href="%s">&lt;u>new products&lt;/u>&lt;/a> are available to purchase?'&#41;;
define&#40;'TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL_RELOGON', '&lt;small>If you are not %s, please &lt;a href="%s">&lt;u>log yourself in&lt;/u>&lt;/a> with your account information.&lt;/small>'&#41;;
define&#40;'TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome &lt;span class="greetUser">Guest!&lt;/span> Would you like to &lt;a href="%s">&lt;u>log yourself in&lt;/u>&lt;/a>? Or would you prefer to &lt;a href="%s">&lt;u>create an account&lt;/u>&lt;/a>?'&#41;;

While in there, take a look around... There are a ton of other text changes you can make!

hi - which file is this found in?

Thanks,
Ivan

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

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

**idarch** · 04-24-2003, 01:10 AM

My default.php (default.php,v 1.20 2003/02/14) file doesn't have that in.

**idarch** · 04-24-2003, 06:17 AM

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

**michael_s** · 04-24-2003, 10:24 AM

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
