Displaying info on main page when "Must log in to browse"

[jenpen]

Hi,
I want the main page to display some basic store info and contact details, which is visible when I have set the Shop Status to "Must log in to browse", even before logging in. Is this possible? Otherwise it's not a very friendly look.

how about put the info into:
if($_SESSION['customer_id'] == '')
{echo "please login to see";}
else
{echo "write your info here";}

That looks pretty useful. Which file is that code in? Can I put HTML tags in there?

[win8win]

it depends where your info is showed ,such as tool-define page editor-define main page.

Sorry, I don't understand. Do you mean that I put that code in the content area for the main page in Define Pages Editor? Tried that, didn't work.

OK, I found another thread which gave me an idea. The store (handily) was in a subfolder /catalog/ in the root directory, with the index.html file in the root redirecting to the /catalog/ folder. So, I thought, easy peasy, I'll just remove the redirect and make that index.html file into a new front page, introducing the business, with a link to the log in page /catalog/index.php.

So I did that, three days ago, but I'm still getting redirected to catalog/index.php. I can't work out why. Can anyone else?
