Hi Guys

Does anyone know how to display all categories on the front page instead of Latest products? I tried 2 solutions found here but they don't seem to work as they were designed for 1.4.4 and older.

Thank you.

how many products do you have?

You could use the featured products hack and just add all your products to featured module!!

Hi

I do not want to display any products on the front page. I have 12 categories and I need them to be on the home page instead of the Mod on the left "Categories". It's like to have thumbnails of categories so people can choose with ease. Thanks.

Knowing how to hard code them I wouldn't ask for help.

Well you could use fido's Homepage Module. It will allow you to create a box on your homepage and add linked image thumbnails to it.

I deleted the latest products from the home.tpl and then just hand did all the categories in the Home page section of the admin using the editor. Its a pain when adding a new category, but better than nothing and I dont know enough to code it into the .tpl

I used a table for the images and text, so I can at least drag and drop stuff when I have to add something new and reorder it.

Try this:

edit home.php

Code: Select all


<?php

Does any one know the mod for Version 1.4.9.1?? The above worked great for previous versions... but not the new one!
It would be great to show categories on the front page center rather than latest products.

Code: Select all

protected function index()
{
    $this->language->load('module/categoryhome');
    $this->data['heading_title'] = $this->language->get('heading_title');

    $this->load->model('catalog/category');
    $this->load->model('tool/seo_url');
    $this->load->model('tool/image');
 
Include the model('tool/image') and it will work.
