Then you are wanting to work with:

includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php

for adding Content to the main page.


Other options are display specific to the Home page by configuring:

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php

For example:

To turn off the left column for the home page only, you would insert the following:
if ($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
}

To turn off the left and right columns for the home page only, you would insert the following:
if ($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

Try /includes/templates/your_template/index/tpl_main_page.php .

Unfortunately, this will apply to all index pages including category listing and product listing.
For editing home page layout, you will need to add/modify code in the main tpl_main_page.php, with tests for

if ($this_is_home_page){
  //do home page stuff
}else{
  //do default stuff
} 

The CSS can be customized for the home page by adding a file named index_home.css; but adding an /index_home/ folder will have no effect.

I dont want to add content as much as change the layout for the home page. I have the layout working I just need the pagename of the home page.

BRILLIANT! this is exaclty what I required thank you

P.S Was I very unclear in what I required or was it just out of the norm what I was asking for?

I think it was just out of the norm.

But a radically different layout for the home page is common enough that I really think there should be a mechanism for using an /index_home/ folder. This may be addressed in a totally different manner with the restructuring in v2.0.
