Editing home page in 4.4.1

herniarelievers · #1 01-19-2011, 10:27 AM

Hello. We are using the Fashion Mosaic Theme(Green) and we are unable to edit the home page. There is a stock image that is embedded in welcome.tpl. We would like to replace this image with some text and tables. We have tried editing the welcome.txt file and re-placing the image in the welcome.tpl file however it does not display where the image is. Please help.

Two things:

1. Make sure you are editing the correct welcome.tpl template - it is the one in the Fashion Mosaic folder, not the common_templates folder.

2. Clear your template cache after you update (Tools/Maintenance)

Thanks. I double-checked and we are in the correct template. Below is the small portion of code that seems to control the image. I am not sure what to do to replace this image with our own copy, which is the welcome.txt file.

<div class="welcome-top">
<img src="{$AltImagesDir}/fashion_mosaic/welcome.jpg" class="welcome" alt="" />
{if $categories_menu_list}
{$lng.txt_welcome class="welcome"}
{include file="customer/categories.tpl"}
{else}
<img src="{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif" alt="" class="empty-height-extender" />
{/if}
</div>

Just change the img tag to point to your image. And clear your cache.

We do not want to use an image. We want to add some text and a table were the image is currently located. We just cannot seem to find where the text and tables should go to override the image.

Just put it right there where the image code is.

Anything we put where the image is located shows up on the left side above the categories.

You are going to need to understand the css that is being used for positioning - Firefox + Firebug will help you to see this. (The image was being positioned with css - you removed it, so its positioning was also removed.)

Thanks!!

I am not sure why this is so difficult. I have been using X-Cart for years and editing the welcome page has never been this painful. I tried your suggestions but came up empty. I have submitted a ticket to X-Cart but I am still annoyed this is so difficult this time around. I do appreciate your efforts.
