Changing the name of a field and changing page backgound

[Sandy68Classi]

First, I want to say that I like this info/questions input area that looks like a real email editor/sender. I wish I had one of these on my site in the listings pages. Would this be possible?

1) I just bought 68 Classifieds "Developer" because I was led to believe that I can do more with it as-far-as changes are concerned. I already own Designer and I see no change in the Developer's Administration area. I can't do anything different or extra in Developer.

• I can't change FIELD names.
• I can't find info on changing the background of any page to use a picture instead of a color.

2) Version 3.10 is what the installer placed on my website.

• Is this the latest version?
• Is version 4 still a beta?

3) How do I change the field name "Seller" to just "Full Name". My site is for CLASSMATES who may or may not want to sell anything. If they did sell something, it might be just a photo that was taken of the class at the reunion or it may be where the organizer of the reunion needs payment for the reunion itself which does not need a photo. The site is basically a site for classmates who want to keep in touch with each other and POST events such as a class reunion. I'm offering this service for free.

• I did not see that each member has their own place or link to post info.
• There is nothing on a member's page where someone can sign their specific guestbook.

I will appreciate it if someone can tell me how to make the above changes.

Thank you.

Hi,
I am not affiliated with 68C, just a user.

There is no difference in Designer and Developer as far as the features you mention. The difference is you can edit the code in dev. As I understand it.

To fix your problem, the easiest way I can explain is to:

Log into admin, click template editer, then click the folder of the template you use, then viewlisting.tpl.php or viewlisting2.tpl.php depending on which you use (if you don't know edit both).

Now for the code you need to change:
<td><strong>{$smarty.const.LANG_SELLER}:</strong></td>

and change to:
<td><strong>Full Name:</strong></td>

There are other ways but this will work and is easy.

This overrides the language tag and will output whatever you want.

As for the background edit layout.tpl.php in the same place.

You need the seller store and rating mods to do the guestbook and member area.
Yes 3.1.10 is the latest , yes V4 is still beta.

Hi louad,

Thank you for the code. It worked on the opening page. But, when clicking the linked ID username (in my case it is admin since I am the owner and the first one listed), it bought up "view member" and the "Seller" was on it. So, I went to member.tpl.php to see if I could change it there to User ID. But, the code is different.

The code is:
<tr>
<td class="formleft">{$smarty.const.LANG_SELLER}{$smar ty.const.LANG_COLON}</td>
<td class="formright">{$username}</td>
</tr>

I didn't dare change anything or I might mess it up. I don't know if I can change it? Can I?

Changing the page background from WHITE to a pictured background: I can't see "page backgound=" on the layout.tpl.php nor style.css? It is not included in the coding that I can tell.

If you want to look at my site, it is http://www.classmates-hudson-ny.com/1966/ which is being developed first and before I tell all my classmates to use it.

Thank you for your help.

Of course you can change it.

You can change:
<td class="formleft">{$smarty.const.LANG_SELLER}{$smar ty.const.LANG_COLON}</td>


To:
<td class="formleft">User ID:</td>

Again overriding the language tag.
I was going to tell how to edit the actual language file but if you want it say different things, that won't work and this is a better way to edit it.

If you did want to edit the language file you will need to open the folder language, then the file english.php, then find:
define("LANG_SELLER", "Seller");
and change "Seller" to whatever you want. This will replace "Seller" at every instance of the language tag.

You have to ftp this file.


As for the background, there are a number of ways to get a picture into the background, I am not sure exactly what you want to do.

Edit: <body> in layout.tpl.php to <body background="/images/yourimage.jpg"> for example will tile an image in the background of the page but not the "wrapper" table content.
