Remove “Congratulations! You’ve installed Zen Cart” from home page

March 4, 2010 in Zen Cart Customization, Zen Cart Guides

Is this useful? Like it.

This text is contained in your language file:
\includes\languages\english\index.php

Before you edit the file, copy it to your template’s folder:
\includes\languages\english\CUSTOM_TEMPLATE\index.php

Where CUSTOM_TEMPLATE is the same folder name as the current template you are using. If you do not have the folder, create it on your server and put the index.php file inside.

To remove the “Congratulations…” text, open the index.php file with any text editor. On line 52 and 56, you will see this code:
define(‘HEADING_TITLE’, ‘Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart E-Commerce Solution.’);

Change both the lines to:
define(‘HEADING_TITLE’, ”);

That’s it.

Note:
If you have multiple languages installed. Repeat the same process for other languages. Example:
\includes\languages\spanish\CUSTOM_TEMPLATE\index.php

Compatibility: Zen Cart 1.5.0, 1.3.9 and 1.3.8

    I don’t understand… It’s not working for me. This is what I think you are saying

    1. Copy \includes\languages\english\index.php to \includes\languages\english\CUSTOM_TEMPLATE\index.php

    At this point, if the folder didnt exist, create it and place index.php inside

    2. Then copy \includes\languages\english\english.php to \includes\languages\english\CUSTOM_TEMPLATE\english.php

    3. This is where i’m lost. Which of the index files am i editing… Edited both with no result. There may be some errors in your instructions because the lines are actually in index.php instead of english.php

    Help!!

    I’m sorry. Yes, it’s index.php, not english.php.

    You only need to edit ONE file (at 2 locations/lines):
    \includes\languages\english\CUSTOM_TEMPLATE\index.php

    Post updated.

    I follows the same instructions, created a new folder using my template name:
    \includes\languages\english\premium2a\index.php
    Modified the Heading Title (also modified it in \includes\languages\english\index.php) and still no change to the web-page when viewed even after clearing cache. Am I missing something???

    Yes, that is the correct way. And you do not need to modify the original file, just modify the one you copied to your template folder.

    Make sure the path is correct and you name the folder “premium2a” correctly.
