Non-template home page

[lbowenc]

Is it possible to have my home page (index.php) not be template-based, but include certain Zen Cart functions such as "Search", "New Products", "Sale Items", "Featured Products", etc.?

It is possible to have a completely different template for the home page compared to the rest of the site. (Look at my site.)

You can create a special stylesheet named index_home.css in the /your_template/css/ folder to control display of many items, and define_main_page.php (in Tools > Define Pages Editor) can add unique code and content. Those are the main methods I used.

There are also directions in the comments at the top of /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_main_page.php for selectively enabling or disabling elements on various pages.
