11.2.3 Store: Change Pages
Using the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, you can change all text displayed on store pages. Most text can be changed by using Store Æ Change Pages; however, some text can only be changed by modifying properties files.
The method that you use to depends on the text:
For text such as the privacy policy and location, and in notification messages, use the Change Page dialog WebSphere Commerce Accelerator. The fields that are available for modification out-of-the-box are listed by location:
Home - Top
To change all other text (including error messages, labels for fields, and the text in the header, footer, or sidebar), modify the Properties file.
To change the text in the store:
1. From the Store menu, select Change Pages.
2. Click the arrow next to the text to be changed. This opens a text box containing the current text of the message.
Note: The text displayed in the scroll box for each page may contain programming conventions, including HTML tagging, and placeholders for variables that are retrieved from the database.
HTML tagging: An example of HTML tagging is <b>Personal information</b>, which means that "Personal Information" displays in boldface when rendered by a browser. To change the way the font displays on the page, we will need an understanding of HTML.
Database placeholders: A placeholder for a database variable displays...
{0} respects the privacy, where {0} is the placeholder.
To maintain these placeholders do not change them.
Add links: To add links to other pages, add the prefix /wcsstore to the front of the file path. For example, <img src="/wcsstore/Reseller/upload/folder name/your image.jpg">, where Reseller is the name of the store directory you specified when creating the store.
3. Click View Location to see where on the page the text will be displayed. A new browser window opens.
4. Close the preview window.
5. Make any desired changes to the text. You can change as many of the text fields as you like in the same session. When you are through, click OK.
