Effectively the information on the home page, the welcome or introduction text ($text_greeting) should be adjustable via the admin area, thus database driven.
There's no way i'd want end users messing with files to change the text.
On my setup at the moment I have the introduction text in an "information page", it would be nice if I could simply/easily include that into the home page.
I may work on this idea if there's no other solutions out there...
There is away... take a look at http://hosting-whse.com/projects/Site11
its a sandbox but it shows the idea of what you want... just as a fyi - also working on a small blog type addon as well

Very romantic and neat GUI... Great job... I bet that addon will not be free, aye? all good things cost!
So... is there any "visual/text" way you might share the basics on how to change the "home" (startpage) into an alternate like "controller=information&information_id=100" - that would be son nice to have it work that was as I hate non-easy-to-administrate pages
Also, as you are an expert, is there any easy "hack" to change the terrible inbuilt-popup to a normal javascript popup that scales after the image. I have images 1000x1000 and when they scale down its NO good
All i wanted was to replace the in-build junk image script with a NORMAL javascript popup, but alas I dont know how to do it....
You are the expert, not me.... hehe

I found this fairly difficult to achieve without a major hack, this is my resulting mod:
OPEN "/catalog/controller/home.php"
FIND $template->set('content', $view->fetch('content/home.tpl'));
ABOVE ADD:
Please Note: There is a space between $ and _GET, I was forced to place it there by this forum, there should be no space.
If anyone has a better suggestion on how to achieve this, I'm all ears...
Perhaps forget information pages all together, and simply add a field in the configuration that would give you a place to enter a text_greeting (remember must be HTML).
OPEN "/catalog/controller/home.php"
FIND $template->set('content', $view->fetch('content/home.tpl'));
ABOVE ADD:
Code: Select all
//text_greeting from information mod START
$ _GET['information_id']=13;//set this to whatever page you wish to pull
$request =& $this->locator->get('request');
$information_info = $database->getRow("select * from information i left join information_description id on (i.information_id = id.information_id) where i.information_id = '" . (int)$request->get('information_id') . "' and id.language_id = '" . (int)$language->getId() . "'");
if ($information_info) { $view->set('text_greeting', $information_info['description']); }
//text_greeting from information mod ENDIf anyone has a better suggestion on how to achieve this, I'm all ears...
