Oscommerce and PHP

Browntoa

ok....I'm having a play with this and my head hurts now

used to having index.html as the home page

how do I edit the text on the "home Page" or whatever the first page you hit on this is called

the bit at the top that says "Welcome guest" etc

Have you tried the oscommerce forums , the docs or grepping/searching the source tree for the literals you want to change.

If you want to know what the first page is. Then check the web server for what it is setup to use. Oscommerce doesn't decide what page is displayed when you goto a url with no file specified. Typically a default php page would be called index.php

Try here:

/oscommerce/catalog/includes/languages/english/

it should be in the index.php file, infact it is in the section that says:

define('TEXT_MAIN

The manufactures list can be added to from within the admin console which is installed as part of oscommerce.
Its in the
Catalog-manufacturers
section on the admin page.

Try "Product Attributes" in the admin console.

Basically, OsCommerce won't work with PHP Version 5. Try using ACTINIC https://www.actinic.co.uk for your e-commerce needs. It's not free but it's more stable.
