edit about us section

hello

just wondering how you edit the bit right along the top that says about us? att the moment its talking about dolphin and i wanna put my stuff there

also want to edit the FAQ page

There is a free faq manager add on on expertzzz 
Very handy to manage the Faq. :)

Same problem for me. Any news?

How can I delete FAQ link from header?

templates\tmpl_uni\_header.html

div class="topestMenu"
__TOP_Links__
__TOP_News__
__TOP_ContactUs__
__TOP_About__
__TOP_Privacy__
__TOP_Termsofuse__
__TOP_FAQ__
__TOP_Feedback__
__TOP_Aff__
__TOP_Invitefriend__
__TOP_Bookmark__
__switch_lang_block__
__send_eCard__
/div

you can change it as you want

damn! you got there before me!!! well n1... What andyP said is absolutely right but remember to keep a copy of the original file, you never know when you may need it...

Ok for FAQ link, I've delete it.

But if I want edit About Us ?

Thanks.

You are better to coment out, rather than delete, that way they are still in place if needed in future.

Admin>Settings>langauges 

Search for, About Us,, FAQ,, and edit & save there.

For About us delete

templates\tmpl_uni\_header.html

div class="topestMenu"
__TOP_Links__
__TOP_News__
__TOP_ContactUs__
__TOP_About__
__TOP_Privacy__
__TOP_Termsofuse__
__TOP_FAQ__
__TOP_Feedback__
__TOP_Aff__
__TOP_Invitefriend__
__TOP_Bookmark__
__switch_lang_block__
__send_eCard__
/div

so, after going through language settings and searching on 'about', reaching the correct language key file, i uploaded new text, yet it is still not rendering properly.  anyone else not getting the correct updates after modifying this key file?

When you say you upload text? You are referring to using your admin panel Admin>Settings>langauges right? Not editing the lang.php file and uploading that. Be sure to use the admin panel to do this. Make sure when changing the string text the recompile box is checked and save changes. Make sure you are editing the right about us. There maybe other about us for the page header you are changing or the actual text of the page, etc. I'm not logged in at the moment to provide the specific key. Then of course be sure to refresh your index.php or about_us.php page or any other you are attempting to change.

I had the same question (trying to edit the text of the About Us, FAQ, etc) but have no idea where I find "Admin>Settings>langauges".  I've tried the regular files w/ dreamweaver and used phpmyadmin, but can find no sequence such as this.  A smidge more guidance would be very appreciated...

NEVER MIND - FOUND IT IN THE ADMIN PANEL - WAS MAKING IT MUCH TO HARD ON MYSELF!!!

THANKS!

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.
