Re: HOW TO REMOVE "Powered by X-Cart ecommerce shopping cart software"

WiseFTP is another, I use it in SFTP, has a quick view and options to use own editor or external (but its paid for)

If you are a Mac user, Coda is light and fast and most importantly, intuitive. I've used several of the others mentioned, but I have found Coda to be my favorite by far. It is a pay app, but worth it.

I still use Coda for css. It's pretty amazing.

Store front is visible to customers

My storefront is visible to customers even though the storefront is closed in the admn panel. Please help. What could be the reason?

so instead of deleting the prnotice.tpl include, it would looks like this:

Code:

{* <div class="left">{include file="main/prnotice.tpl"}</div> *}

Using comments helps you understand the edits you made - gives you an easier path to restore if need be, and in case someone else is looking at the code someday, the next person will see what you did (even if the next person is you!). It's very good practice to comment the daylights out of your code edits. You may remember what you did and why today, but come back in a year or 3 years -- WTF did I do that? Ah... it's commented.

There are different ways to comment templats (smarty) vs. php or html files. This method is for smarty templates (anything in x-cart that is .tpl)

I commented my code out on X-cart 4.7.8 but it did not change anything:

{* <td class="Bottom" align="left">
{include

file="main/prnotice.tpl"}
</td>
*}

How do I EDIT the text (I am able to edit the URL within it) instead of commenting out or deleting it?

I had this problem too, with Firefox browser only. Cleared the cache, rebooted the PC and it stoped doing it, but sometimes it still happens. No one exactly knows why. I will call Ghostbusters.

Re: HOW TO REMOVE "Powered by X-Cart ecommerce shopping cart software"

I EDITED it instead of removing. Found out by poking blindly on code. Here are the steps:

1. Admin >> Content >> Edit Templates

2. Go to: /common_files/main/prnotice.tpl

3. Replace {$sm_prnotice_txt} with your own text. Replace it everywhere including replacing the URL with yours.

4. Or you can comment it out (to hide it) like this:

{*{$sm_prnotice_txt}*}

{* comment this text or code out *}

By surrounding text or code by these:

{* *}

Re: HOW TO REMOVE "Powered by X-Cart ecommerce shopping cart software"

This isnt available to me : I do not have that file,

I have a poweredby.tpl though - I have xcart gold 4.7.8 (paid for licence)

I would have thought this would be in the menu system AND disabled for licenced owners.

Re: HOW TO REMOVE "Powered by X-Cart ecommerce shopping cart software"

I've downloaded the most recent distributive pack for X-Cart v4.7.8, and there is skin/common_files/main/prnotice.tpl file.
