Default How do I change the actual text displayed on my login pages?

Hi,

After about an hour (no exaggeration) of looking through FAQs, the manual and here I am unable to figure out how to change the text that appears on my login pages. For example: on https://wholesale.securityplusproducts.com/secure_login.php
There is this default text that says "In this form you can safely enter your login and password." When I look on the template I see things that say {$lng.lbl_SOME-DESCRIPTION}. I know it's outputting this value- but where is the value to begin with?
Thanks!

That means it is a language variable and you need to edit it via your 'Langauges' area. Go in and select your language, select Labels and then type part of the text you want to edit in the filter box to help narrow down the choices. Edit and save.

Well, those are not standard X-Cart templates/files so I don't know where to point you. Is that a modification of some sort?

There are no text variables in that template as it just calls another template. You need to look in customer/links_form.tpl.

To use the languages area, you select the language you want to use, and then type part of the text you are looking for in the 'filter' box. It will display any language variables below that match. You'll probably need to use the selector to change between Labels and Text, as they are two different language types.
