Hi
I need to change the default home page of my shop
There is only the one product, so I want to skip all the welcome and category pages and just have go straight into the product page.
This should also be the default page that any continue button points too
I tried changing the code on the index.php page but just keep getting a page not found error
Code: Select all
// Router
if (isset($request->get['route'])) {
$action = new Action($request->get['route']);
} else {
$action = new Action('common/home');
}
Does any one know what I need to do to change this?
Thanks in advance
Julie

$action = new Action('product/product&product_id=48');
}

hmmm, this could be interesting.
Put a checkbox setting on a product, then have it called using a variable and then use the variable instead of hardcoding it.
hmmmm, better than a featured box ...

This does not work in the latest version ? At least I have tried it and it returns "The page you requested cannot be found!"
I would like to show a specific product as startpage (just going to sell one product).

This seemed to work:
catalog/controller/home.php
Delete contents of file and replace with:
<?php
header( 'Location: index.php?route=cms/category&path=15' ) ;
?>
or whatever..

This will create problems such as not staying on the same page when the language or the currency change and more.
The idea is correct but the file that should be changed is
/catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/home.tpl
In this file simply remove everything and write:
<?php
header( 'Location: index.php?route=product/category&path=59' ) ;
?>
(or whatever page you want your home page to be.)
This will affect all the references to this page (site logo, default homepage, etc)
