adding a new txt area to home page
 

Hi

I know how to change the welcome message - and even move it - to under the slider ...

But now I have the header->slider-> welcome message -> top level categories

and now I want to put another message underneath all this

ONLY on the home page

this is not part of the footer - this would still be part of the center content area.

I can edit content.tpl or welcome.tpl ... I see {$lng.txt_welcome}<br />

what I really want to do is create a new lng.txt_welcome2 entry that I can add after all the other stuff in the welcome.tpl file.

I'm sure this is either doable - or I can fake some other lng.txt variable into doing this - but there are 3000 of them ? eeks

if you can point me in the right direction.

thanks

Well you are most of the way there, just edit the welcome.tpl as you say, and add the new language variable code where ever you want it to appear so {$lng.txt_welcome2}

Then go to Languages in admin, choose your language, scroll down to Add new entry.
Select Topic: Text
Variable: txt_welcome2
Value: [your text]

You may need to go to Tools/Maintenance and Clear Templates for it to show.
