zencart advertisement box aka banner

go to tool/banner manager and turn off the banners.

A special character can make the entire store vanish entirely

  define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'ABSTRACT ART ONLINE STORE - ARTIST MOMOKO');

this above will do fine, but if you put
"Momoko's" in there, the store vanish entirely. I guess it's because of the character '

getting rid of "Welcome Guest" message

This totally works:

Admin -> Configuration -> Layout settings -> Customer Greeting -> Show on Index Page and set to 0.

Altering the texts on the main page


This is a file, index.php
in the directory of        includes/languages/english

More than one image per product trick

This time I selected No and No at the image setting, and instead of uploading an image, I directed to the already transferred image file. The default image should be excluded from the numbering system of the image.

Blue_Blue_6x6.jpg   main image
Blue_Blue_6x6_2.jpg the extra image.

Tracing the files

So, I can find the right files by reading the script from the site itself... just some of files can be found this way.

altering widths

unlike they say, the file is NOT in the template_default 

it is in classic/css directory, file name stylesheet.css
find #mainWrapper on line 180.

tried no and no with image upload

I still don't know how exactly this works to make the file read the image file names in the image directory (images/large). But so far it works.

more than one photo on a product

The first successful product images, all begins with rustic_blue_6x6 on file names. Numerically sorted so they display according to the numbering.

in "large" directory. I tried to put them in medium directory but the photos won't show up, not even one, even though the instruction says there is ONE medium image displays.

But wait! I deleted images in "large" directory and they still display. The program reads images in image directory, not in "large."
