How do you change the about us page?

I am wondering where I go to change the text in the about us page. Where do I go to change this page?

Almost any text in Dolphin can be changed in the language string editor:

Administration -> Settings -> Language Settings

Then under "manage keys" enter "about us" and check "filter".

Thank You for the help.

or use the page editor module ;)

For those of you still viewing this post looking for answers I found it:

Some of us have tried the admin panel only to find out that no option was given to search for a string or "look for"  about us. It only allowed to save the key in LANGS. This is no good.

Here's the solution:   Login to your cpanel. follow the steps below:

1. Open the LANGS folder.

2. Make a copy of the PHP file by right clicking and choosing copy :  lang-en.php ( dont just edit this file) make the copy first.

3. rename the copy LANG-EN2.php and place it in a new folder. This folder can be a haven for php files not being used. NOTE:  The reason you named it Lang-en2.php is so that php doesn't read it

4. Now go back to the langs folder and open it. Left Click on lang-en.php so its highlighted. Then click text editor. Its easier and faster then code editor [ not html editor] this is php! Most cpanels should have this option.

It will open the editor :   Scroll down and you will see this code.....

    '_ABOUT_US' => '<div class="about_us_cont">
<div class="about_us_snippet">                               

                             " The about us content you want to change is directly after the code"

                   Start editing the About us content. Happy editing.......when done click save changes

                   Same can be done for FAQ and terms of use. just scroll down to edit them. but read below before you do cause you want to make sure your changes were correct.

Important  php refernce info below:     dont pass this up. It will help upon a problem.

Do not delete any div tags that look like this:    <div>   or </div> or <br> or anything in brackets unless it is a boonex href link. Those links lead to this boonex site and are advertising only. You can get rid of that because its not needed for ABOUT US page on your site.  Yes basic knowledge of html and php may help but just look at it. its pretty simple to figure out for those who dont know.

After saving changes. Go test the changes on the site by viewing it. You may encounter an error message if a bracket was deleted or you did this:

           example:   sally's                                           apostrophes always kill beginner php coders! 

          This mistake should be corrected like this:     Sally\'s.  Notice the ( \ ) after the y.

Error message will look like this: 

                            parse error, unexpected T_string, expecting (\') in XXXX.php on line 445 

Its telling you what should be there.  (\') on line 445 is where your problem is. open code editor to fix it.

Go to line 445 and fix the problem . Voila! you got it.

This is the most common problem when editing just text. 

Hope this has helped. If it hasn't maybe i or any experienced php coder can help. 

Hello where this should be language file because i dont find that there even i am check that 5 times

'_ABOUT_US' => '<div class="about_us_cont">
<div class="about_us_snippet">                               

                             " The about us content you want to change is directly after the code"

                   Start editing the About us content. Happy editing.......when done click save changes

                   Same can be done for FAQ and terms of use. just scroll down to edit them. but read below before you do cause you want to make sure your changes were correct.

I donr have this there lanfuage file so where that need to be put?

Try typing in about and ABOUT into the filter.  Sometimes it can be hard to get them to come up.

The language key for About Us, is _ABOUT_US.  You will see it listed as a system key.  Click on the edit link beside the key.

To get to the language keys, go to backend, click on settings and then click on language settings.

 I mean i can't find that text language file at all, there is no that ---->   '_ABOUT_US' => '<div class="about_us_cont">
<div class="about_us_snippet">

It is not a text file.  Listen to what I told you please.  Go to the backend, admin, what ever you want to call it.  Click on settings, click on language settings.  It will bring up the language key section.  Try typing in the filter box, _ABOUT_US and if that does not bring up the key try just About.  The key you want is the _ABOUT_US key.  It will be a system key.  Click on the edit link beside it to replace the contents of the key.

Note there are several keys with about.  Some are just the word "About".  You want the key that is for the About Us page.  If you can not get this done, then I can do it for you but would need admin access.  Do not post admin passwords in the forum, do it in a PM.

Do not follow those instructions from properez. Those instructions are not the proper way to edit the languages. He is even incorrect about not being able to search. The post is just totally incorrect and should be deleted by the moderators.

Do what geek_girl said to do.

Thanks Dean, screenshots are the best way to get the understanding across.

And in case your interested, i also have mods for that. I have a About Us, Terms, Privacy and a FAQ editor. The FAQ editor even has drag and drop to put the FAQ's in any order you want.

As you can clearly see...   My Language key Editor does NOT allow the option for removing the string of text at the bottom.   What the hell am I doing wrong?   - Yes, I do Indeed have a FULL License!

On the "About Us" page.....   The "Language Key" editor does NOT allow an option for removing the text at the bottom of the page.  i.e.  This site is powered by BoonEx Dolphin. The rest is a mystery.

Picture Attached.  (Screen Shot)

Yet oddly enough, even though the Language Editor doe snot show the string of text I just mentioned...  Here it is on the actual website!

It will show the correct text if you actually look up the correct key. The key makes the difference.

You are looking at the wrong key. Common mistake.

_About Us is the key for the title. The link if you will. Uppercase A lowecase bout space Uppercase U lowercase s

_ABOUT_US is the key for the actual text. Uppercase on all letters, underscore between the ABOUT and US

See the screen shot i posted a few posts back. It's shows exactly what you need to look for. http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/How-do-you-change-the-about-us-page-.htm#212888

deano92964 is absolutely correct. I spent too much time on this issue as well, and found that I had to capitalize all letters for it to show up within the language key. _ABOUT_US
