Hello to all members of the forum,

Please anybody can help me to remove the "Welcome to our site", blah blah text?

Any help is welcomed.

Best regards,

Valeriu

I would also be interested in learning how to do this,

OR

to be able to change what it says

thanks!

I would also like to know how to disable the Welcome Message. Not only the text, but the whole module.

Okay, i figured it out. But it would be greate to have this like a option in the admin area in the future

Here is what i did:

In catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/home.tpl

Replace line 7 to 12 with this:

There's another way to remove that text. Simply go into the appropriate language file and delete the text (or replace it with a few spaces).

clinton method dint worked but purebeads method worked

Then you must have done something wrong. Works for me on the latest version

I think maybe the code has changed for latest version 1.4.9.1 ..?
In catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/home.tpl
change line 3 from

<?php if ($welcome) { ?>

to

<?php if (!$welcome) { ?>

Cheers,

My experience is that I delete the welcome text, then no welcome message shows.
ie. delete the welcome content in the admin

See the code?
<?php if ($welcome) { ?>

That means if welcome exists, then show that portion. If nothing exists, nothing shows.

If you delete the welcome section entirely, in the code, then you'll probably be wanting to add it back again later.

Thanks for the reply readyman.
I have only just started with opencart, but not with coding. I know what my change does, and that was my intent - to remove the welcome message module entirely. I will not want it back in future, as you might, but if I do can easily put it back.

As for the change you recommend, that is the self-evident approach - i.e. make the change through the admin interface. Now perhaps I did not understand your explanation of how to make the change. Perhaps my inexperience with the system is the cause of my lack of understanding ...perhaps the fault lies in the way you describe it. In any case I tried the obvious first choice appoach, and simply removing the welcome text in the admin side did not remove the block with the welcome title bar on it. Therefore I went into the code. No need for more effort in this regard as far as I am concerned.

Cheers,
Jon

Hello
the Removing of WELCOME Message process is like this


I am building a custom shell using Winlogon component, use Minlogon
due to some issues. I want to remove the "Welcome" message screen during
Windows XPe boot time.
This question is not related to the splash screen.



Thanks...

If you leave the welcome message blank and do not fill the text box with anything the welcome screen will not show.

this is how i removed it and it is very simple

To Remove the Welcome to my store in the center of head remove these line in catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/home.tpl


remove this line:

<h1><?php echo $heading_title; ?></h1>

Just delete the text from the welcome wysiwug in the store tab of the settings page in admin but make sure you view the source as there will still be html in their. Get rid of it all

To delete it go to that location and paste this into the edit.tpl

that did the trick for me. thanks.

I am using Version 1.5.0 and found it works to open the following file and edit it:

catalog/language/english/module/welcome.php

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

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

Our store is here for reference https://secure.shuziamerica.com

Good Luck.

In OpenCart 1.5.x, the "Welcome" message you are referring to is now a "module". Log in to your admin, from the menu select "Extensions->Modules". At the bottom of the list, you will see a "Welcome" module. Either disable it or uninstall it.

It is NOT necessary to modify ANY core files.

Or just use the CR2 HTML Module instead.

Replace line 7 to 12 with this:

Code: Select all

      <h1><?php echo $text_latest; ?><!--<?php echo $heading_title; ?>--></h1>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="middle">
    <!--<div><?php echo $welcome; ?></div>
    <div class="heading"><?php echo $text_latest; ?></div>-->

I think This code is enough to remove the welcome message
