Been searching for some time and pulling my hair out.

I want to edit the body of the main page with my own static content.
Anything I add to

/customer/home.tpl
/suctomer/home_main.tp.

Ends up on every product page.

Any suggestion please?

Sorry I forgot to add.. I know its the welcome.tpl but somehow I edited a template and welcome.tpl never shows up again on main page.

Yes, you need to use welcome.tpl. It is called from home_main.tpl by this line of code:

{elseif $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}
{include file="customer/main/welcome.tpl" f_products=$f_products}

so make sure you didn't remove that by mistake.

Thank you.

Its is there.
So is welcome.tpl and I've also restored it from original. Still don't have my welcome message.

Your welcome.tpl should look like this:

{* $Id: welcome.tpl,v 1.23.2.1 2005/04/23 08:32:48 max Exp $ *}
{if ($active_modules.Greet_Visitor ne "") and ($smarty.cookies.GreetingCookie ne "") and $logout_user eq ''}
<H3>{$lng.lbl_welcome_back}, {$smarty.cookies.GreetingCookie|replace:"\'":"'"} </H3> 
{else}
<H3>{$lng.lbl_welcome_to} { $config.Company.company_name }</H3>
{/if}
{$lng.txt_welcome}



{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"}
{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"}
{/if}



{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl" f_products=$f_products}

Make sure you didn't delete txt_welcome from the language variables section.

Strange, just did a cut and paste of what you showed and it works.
Only difference I see is I had a blank line at the end.

14 lines rather then 13.

Was the welcome.tpl

Thank you so much for your help.

Yea, don't edit templates in Cpanel or anything other than the Admin area of X-Cart or a good code editor. Other editors can leave blank spaces which as you now know, will cause problems
