How to edit the text on your OpenSRS Storefront homepage

This is the standard home page that OpenSRS Storefront provides. There are a few different themes, but all the elements are the same. Until now, the text in the red box was static, and couldn’t be edited by Resellers.

To edit the home page, log into either the Reseller Web Interface (RWI), and then click on “Configure your Storefront” or you can head straight to the Storefront Manager if you wish.

Once in the Storefront Manager, click on “Basic Store Settings” which brings up the following page.

Scroll down to the bottom of that page.

Now click “Edit Homepage” to bring up the home page editor.

You’ll see a graphical representation of the editable elements of the home page. We’ll start by editing the Header text. Click the “Edit” button in the Header area.

That brings up this editor window. You can choose the default text, or…

You can edit the text and then click “Save” at the bottom of the page to make the changes live on your Storefront.

You can see here that the text in the header has been replaced with my new text.

Going back to the Edit homepage screen now, I’m going to edit the sub header area next by clicking the “Edit” button on the Sub Header section.

That brings up a similar editing window where I can edit the text that appears just below the header text.

I’ve edited my text and clicked “Save” and it’s now live on my Storefront.

Here’s my new home page with edited header and sub header text.

As mentioned, you’ll also find a new feature that gives Resellers the ability to create a promotions page where you can add arbitrary text and other content that you can use to promote specific domains or other services that you see through your Storefront.

Here’s how you accomplish that:

How to create and link to a promotions page on your OpenSRS Storefront

Starting at the Storefront Manager homepage, click “Basic Store Settings”.

Scroll down to the bottom of that page.

Then click on “Edit Promotions Page” where you can enable and add content to your new promotions page.

Add your desired text and format it either using the WYSIWYG editor, or switch to Source view and edit HTML directly. You’ll note that the URL for the page is provided along with a handy link so you can see the results as they appear on your Storefront.

Here’s my new promotions page with some promotional copy that I’ve added. I’ve also included a date so my customers will know this is current content.

Next, I’ll want to link to my promotions page so customers can find the content. I’m going to add that to the sub header area of my home page. I’ve switched over to edit that (the other tutorial shows you how to get to this page if you’re having trouble.
You can include text with hyperlinks – I’ve made “see the details” a hyperlink to the promotions page using the URL that was provided when I created and enabled the page in the previous step.

A check of my Storefront homepage shows my new copy with the link to the promotions page.
