Solved the problem for 1.4.. need to add:

Code: Select all

$this->load->model('catalog/category');
in the loaders of home.php. Still getting some errors which I need to figure out but that at least gets the categories to load.

For anyone interested, I got this working on version 1.4 now:

Here is the code for home.tpl:

Code: Select all

Been a while since I tried all of the above & looked on the surface like it worked but just gone back to dev site & noticed I'm getting these errors on base elements which are causing a lag on certain page loads - anyone got any ideas why?:

Undefined variable: header in mypath/store/catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/home.tpl on line 1
Undefined variable: column_left in mypath/store/catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/home.tpl on line 1
Undefined variable: column_right in mypath/store/catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/home.tpl on line 1

Doh! Again, I overlooked to include the working [or rather NOT working] php file. If anyone could shine a light on why I'm receiving these undefined variable errors I'd be eternally grateful !

*bump*

Has anyone gotten this to work in 1.4?

Also, I'm a little confused. Do I need Fido-X's module to make this work, or do I just need to edit the home.tpl and home.php files? If its the latter, then it is not working (1.4.7).

it does not work on 1.4.7 I agree...

God, give me courage to do what I can,
humility to admit what I can't,
and wisdom to know the difference.

I too have had a request for this, as the front page (Featured items) are too diverse for a particular store. They felt it made the front page look messy. So....

Mods are fine for this but would it not just be simpler to use the HTML functions in System-->Setting-->Store-->Welcome Message and move any modules in the center to the side. Create 120x120 png images to represent your categories and link to them.

That way you can be virtually assured that future upgrades won't break anything. Seems much simpler way then hacking code.

I do agree that "out of the box" would be a great feature to have your categories in the center that represent like a portal to your products.

Would be great if a frontpage category table were part of the core, customers look for that often, could even display first level subcats in text under the main cat pics too
