Hi,

Working on some errors that continually pop up into my error log. I use the welcome module on my home page, and every time I go to my home page I get a total of 4 of the same error message shown below:

PHP Notice: Undefined variable: heading_title in /home/*****/public_html/catalog/view/theme/*****/template/module/welcome.tpl on line 1

I am using 4 welcome modules, so it looks as if each module is producing this error. Website is working just fine.

My welcome.tpl has the default file without any changes. I figure there is another file causing this error, but at this point I have no idea where to look.

Code: Select all

<div class="welcome"><?php echo $heading_title; ?></div>
<?php echo $message; ?>

This is filling my log files very quickly. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks,

Terry

make sure your catalog/controller/module/welcome.php has the following line

Code: Select all

$this->data['heading_title'] = sprintf($this->language->get('heading_title'), $this->config->get('config_name'));

I checked thefile, and this exact line of code was commented out.

So I removed the /* */ to un-comment the line and the error went away.

BUT, now on my homepage, right above each welcome module that is displayed it says heading_title.

I checked my language/english/module/welcome.php file and it was also commented out which explains the above.

Code: Select all

<?php
/*$_['heading_title'] = 'Welcome to %s';*/
?>

So I removed the /* */ and now instead of saying heading_title, it says Welcome to my website in large text above each welcome module.

I must have modified these two files to remove the 'Welcome to...' message.

Is there a better way to remove this message from appearing above each of my welcome modules and eliminated this log filling error?

Thanks for your help.

check your catalog/language/english/module/welcome.php it should contain

Code: Select all

<?php
$_['heading_title'] = 'Welcome to %s';
?>

this generates text like Welcome to your_store_name
also in welcome.tpl file , you can simply replace

Code: Select all

<?php echo $heading_title; ?>

with any text by hardcoding it like

Code: Select all

<?php echo "Welcome to my awesome store"; ?>

or edit the line in language file and use the $heading_title

All looks good.

Did a quick search on the forum and in the catalog/view/theme/yourtheme/template/module/welcome.tpl I commented out:

Code: Select all

<div class="welcome"><?php echo $heading_title; ?></div>

No more welcome message, and no more error.

Thanks for the help and pointing me in the right direction. Now I have a few minor errors that pop up once in a while I'll have to slowly tackle.
