But supposing you want the welcome screen without the in-built welcome message!

What then? There are lots of replies on here but not many appear to be working :(

Help please!

(Remember to backup your files before doing any editing)
Just remove the below line from the welcome.php page......

Path
\catalog\view\theme\default\template\module\welcome.php

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

Hope this helps......

you'll find:
<?php
$_['heading_title'] = 'Welcome to %s';

which you can change to:
$_['heading_title'] = '';
or whatever you want your message to be.

Brilliant! The one sensible answer I've found on this page.
I think others are getting confused with removing the whole module instead of just the heading.
Now I can add information to various pages without it saying 'Welcome to Blah blah' ;)

I think a lot of people feel the same. Many users dont understand how to do basics. That last post showed the result of the change and showed the code that needed changing.

Are there any more layout type tutorials with the result to look at . Bearing in mind some of you guys are genius but when just starting out its scary and not intuitive to be honest.

Also if you see a module /feature you like , such as the review box out (I assume its a module) here https://www.shuziusa.com/shop/index.php is there an easy way to find it??

Its a fantastic system just not that user friendly. :( I cant even find a manual to be honest lol

Thanks for any replies.

Guys!!!! I am new to this forum, but its very nice....
To the above challenge the solution is

1) catalog/view/theme/"your theme name"/template/common/header.tpl

2) right-click and edit code


3) use ctrl+f to find "Welcome" and you will see where u could edit or remove the entire message.

4) Save and exit

5) Done!!!!


I hope this works for u tooo!!!!

Regards...

for ME this is the best solution.

in your control panel, go to this module in each language

/home/"yoursite"/public_html/catalog/language/"Eachlanguage"/module/welcome.php

And where you see this:

$_['heading_title'] = 'Welcome to %s';

delete the text between the comas to stay like this:

$_['heading_title'] = '';

If someone have a better and faster solution, i appreciate your help, sorry but im a noobie...
