Hello,

 

I'm just getting started on my newbie adventure with oscom. I'm in the process of reading the forums and checking out the wiki docs, and was hoping you could provide some "jumpstart" info to help me get "into the flow":

 

-- Where on my TCH domain are my editable oscom files located?

 

-- How do I edit the osCommerce front page?

 

Thanks for your help! I'm really excited about this tool!

Most of the files where you edit the text are in /includes/languages/english. Index.php in that folder should allow you to make your changes.

From cPanel I went to "Addon Scripts" > osCommerce > and installed "osCom." I'm able to get to "http://biom.net/osCom/admin/." but don't see where the folders/files like " /includes/languages/english" reside.

 

Can you please point me to their location?

 

Thanks!

I found where the osCom files are located on my domain (as per prior message).

 

I opened Index.php in the /includes/languages/english folder to experiment with changing text on the oscom front page. When I refreshed after adding my changes I got the error:

 

"Parse error: parse error in /home/mikey/public_html/osCom/includes/languages/english/index.php on line 15"

 

When I went back and removed the text I added, the default screen didn't go back to its original status.

 

What did I do wrong? How do I restore the original screen?

 

Looks like I'm off to a bad start.

 

Thanks for your help!
