Design Text: Amended a field

[party_pete]

I'm obviously missing something very obvious here but I'm trying to change the following field;

Design > Text > Web Site (cont) > Shipping & Tax > Delivery Address Prompt

I've amended the text in the Current Value Box, uploaded & the text hasnt changed. Ive then tried to alter the Default Value Box, and it would allow it.

Any ideas what i'm missing here?

TIA

V9.0.2

Tbh pete you should steer clear of v9 unless you desperately need to upgrade -it has too many bugs at the moment and you don't need the lost hair.

This is the shop's site Mal. The one I'm not supposed to be dealing with anymore

It was upgraded a couple of weeks ago to v9.0.2 and i've got to make this change asap or it's early grave time for me, with 20hr+ working days this week!

You can always go the dirty route and switch to design tab and remove the actinic variable and insert the text directly.

I didnt really want to get too dirty but i'm sure it's easier than it sounds....

[party_pete]

I've located where the variable is

<tr>
<td width="60%">
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ShipPrompt001Required%22%20%2f%3e" /><span class="actrequired"></actinic:block>
<Actinic:Variable Name="ShipPrompt001"/>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ShipPrompt001Required%22%20%2f%3e" /><span class="actrequired"></actinic:block>
</td>
<td width="40%">
<input type="text" name="SHIPUSERDEFINED" size="20" maxlength="255" value="<Actinic:Variable Name="ShipUserDefined"/>" />
</td>
</tr>

Any chance of a pointer as to what I need to delete from this, and where I would add the new text?

'<Actinic:Variable Name="ShipPrompt001"/>' is the bit you need to replace. The easy way to find out which variable you require is to click on the text in the 'preview pane' on the design tab and the variable will be highlighted in the code window.

[party_pete]

So, I literally remove this bit of text;
'<Actinic:Variable Name="ShipPrompt001"/>'

and replace it with 'This is my new text'
and the job's done?

[leehack]

Looks like thats the one yes, delete it and try it, if not the right one put it back in, you have an exact copy of how to change back in the forum now.

[party_pete]

Thanks everyone for your time - problem sorted.

Much appreciated.

by the way, love the hat.

[party_pete]

I'm sure we could exchange for a copy of Actinet.

I'll even throw in an unused, fully paid up, copy of Actinic Cover.

[gabrielcrowe]

sorry, its a digital recession, your cover value is 0.00001p

'<Actinic:Variable Name="ShipPrompt001"/>' is the bit you need to replace. The easy way to find out which variable you require is to click on the text in the 'preview pane' on the design tab and the variable will be highlighted in the code window.

is this submitted as a bug?

becasue this post seems to imply that the hack is the only thing that can be done about it

Following the Extraordinary Meeting (May 2008) you have to refer to these as "features exclusive to Actinic". Kindly edit your post accordingly.
