General General Questions

Hello everyone,



My first help request:)



I would like to change the titles (names) on some of the side boxs. For example, I would like to change Manufacturers to Vendors.



How, and where can I do that?



Thank you,

John

this is easy i think I know how :slight_smile:



In the admin page click on Language (it’s the third on down, in the administrative sidebox, locate on the right column)



In the langauge page search for “manufacture” you will see “manufacture”, “manufactures” change both value to vendor and vendors.



Hope it help

Hey taydu,



Thanks for the help that worked! Now on the drop down menu the defult says Select Manufacture. I couldn’t find that in the languge area, prehaps in a tpl file?



Thanks again!

Hello all!



This was just what I was looking for…we wanted to change the names on some of the info boxes. Has anyone seen a thread on how to add your own sidebox so that it shows up all the time and not just on the main store page? thanks! I am still looking…



Cheers,

Travis

This is so much fun, ok…

open main.tpl and say you want to add a new sidebox under the site info just find

{include file=“side_boxes/site_info.tpl”}

and copy/paste a new line below

{include file=“side_boxes/mynewsidebox.tpl”}

now create a new .tpl file called mynewsidebox.tpl and paste in


{capture name="sidebox"}

put all your super cool HTML here..like...I am SnoRocket, the fastest sled racer in world history. Reining champion forever and ever. If you don't beleive me visit snorocket.com

{/capture}
{include file="common_templates/sidebox.tpl" title=$lang.mynewsidebox content=$smarty.capture.sidebox icon="sidebox_icon_help.gif"}

save this file in the /side_boxes/ dir and note you need to create a new language named mynewsidebox and you can make a new icon if you like also, side boxes ROCK !!!
