With WEBSALE V8s you have complete control over all texts displayed in the shop. This applies even when these texts are not fixed in a template but are instead inserted dynamically by WEBSALE V8s at runtime. Texts can be placed statically directly in templates and configurations. However, we recommend that all text maintenance be performed via the text maintenance platform in order to simplify editing and to ensure consistent handling. The following default texts are predefined in WEBSALE V8s and can be extended or changed.

Texts for notification and success messages

Important messages that inform the buyer that a particular function cannot be executed are defined in the shop configuration shop.config in the <NotifyMessages-Txt> section; various standard messages are defined in the <StandardMessages-Txt> section. Reference: NotifyMessages-Txt section Reference: StandardMessages-Txt section

Texts for headings

All default headings predefined in the shop system can be modified in the shop configuration shop.config in the <Captions-Txt> section. Reference: Captions-Txt section

Texts for buttons

All labels of default buttons predefined in the shop system are defined in the shop configuration shop.config in the <Buttons-Txt> section and can be changed there. Reference: Buttons-Txt section

Texts for time indications

All texts predefined in the shop system for time indications, which are used with some input and output elements, are defined in the shop configuration shop.config in the <Times-Txt> section and can be changed there. Reference: Times-Txt section

Define free default texts

You can store up to 100 freely definable texts that can be used any number of times on all templates. This is useful, for example, if you offer your shop in several languages and therefore do not want to use static texts in the templates. Another use case is when the same text is needed on several templates and needs to be centrally updatable, for example a copyright line or a text for particular occasions such as Easter, Christmas, or donation appeals.

Procedure

In the first step, you define the default texts in the shop configuration shop.config in the <FreeMessages-Txt> section. You can then reference the text in your templates. To do this, insert a tag at the relevant places, consisting of the prefix FMSG- followed by the parameter name of the text stored in the shop configuration shop.config. Example: In the shop configuration shop.config, you have defined a text with the parameter name MyText.
You can integrate the text stored for the parameter MyText into any template using the single tag FMSG-MyText. WEBSALE V8s then replaces this tag at runtime with the text “Dies ist mein Text”. Reference: FreeMessages-Txt section Reference: FMSG…
