I would like to edit the HTML on my home page.

[bparker]

The site on which I am currently working is www.plustoofashion.com. I am interested in modifying the home page content, but I am new to ZenCart and not sure how to go about doing this. In the main content page, I have a flash animation, and below it, a list of store items. Below this list, I'd like to add another element using HTML - Just a simple image link.

I see I can edit the HTML ABOVE the product listing by accessing a php include in the admin tool, but how do I add something below it?

Thanks!

The same way you added what is there...

admin > tools > define page editor > select from drop "main_page.php" > add you link/image

Hmm... I can't do it here. The last developer put the flash animation on this page. That shows. Adding to this page would stick the object between the flash and the products. I would like to place this item below the products.

Any other ideas?

Hmm... not quite. And if I did that, wouldn't that move all my content underneath the products?

How did the products get there in the first place? Maybe I can add something underneath that.

You can add more text below the centerbox by using the code in /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_index_default.php. Move this from line 28 to nearly the end of the file:

<!-- deprecated - to use uncomment this section
<?php if (TEXT_INFORMATION) { ?>
<div id="" class="content"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?></div>
<?php } ?>-->

Move to just above the last </div>:

  $show_display_category->MoveNext();
} // !EOF
?>
<!-- moved from line 28 - for extra text-->
<?php if (TEXT_INFORMATION) { ?>
<div id="bottomInfo" class="content"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
</div>

Then edit /includes/languages/english/your_template/index.php around line 21:

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Define your main Index page copy here.');

Thanks! That works. Wow, how are we supposed to know all this stuff?

There are tutorials and FAQs for lots of things that are common requests. This is not a common one, but is an easy fix for someone who has studied the central template files.
