Customize copyright year display for Zen Cart store

October 4, 2009 in Zen Cart Customization

Is this useful? Like it.

By default, your Zen Cart powered web store will display a copyright notice with the current year at the footer — where the current year is based on your web server’s system date.

Example:
Copyright © 2009 My Online Store. Powered by Zen Cart

If you want to change the year display format to reflect the year you start your business, you just need to edit a language file.

Example:
Copyright © 2007 – 2009 My Online Store. Powered by Zen Cart

Steps:

Open \includes\languages\YOUR_TEMPLATE\english.php
If you do not have this file in your custom template’s folder, copy from \includes\languages\english.php
At about line 16, you will see this fragment of code: ‘Copyright © ‘
Change it to ‘Copyright © 2007 – ‘

Note: You only need to do it once. The current year will be automatically updated by Zen Cart. If you have multiple language packs installed for your Zen Cart e-commerce store, do the modification for those language files as well.

Compatibility: Zen Cart 1.5.0, 1.3.8 and 1.3.9

Hello,
I bought your Premium 7 template – and its fantastic!!

I was just wondering if you knew how to modify the invoice layout?

I’d only like it to show the product and price, but remove the discount column and sales tax line. And rename Sub-total to Sub-total including GST.

Do you know of any good add-on invoice / ways to customise it?

Thank you,
Lana

i am trying to figure out how to change the internet bar where it says “zencart!, the art of ecommerce,” but the meta_tag file doesn’t seem to be changing anything! Please help!

elizabeth,

You can manually change the title tag in:
\includes\languages\english\meta_tags.php

As always, do not edit the original file. Copy it to your template folder first:
\includes\languages\english\CUSTOM_TEMPLATE\meta_tags.php

Where CUSTOM_TEMPLATE is the name of your template.
