Bringing page with JQuery into store

[blahblah4949]

Yes, I have installed firebug and will be using it in future!

Well, I guess the last thing I need to do is lose the external html files I have in my root folder and point the site URL to the Zen Cart homepage with the slider.

I'm aware I have gone about this the wrong way from the start. I should have put Zen Cart in the root folder and worked on that from the off.

So...If I delete the external stuff, can I just point the url www.zentest.net in this case, to the home page in my ZC (which is an EZ page)?

Just wanted to check before I start deleting stuff and ruin the good work up until now.

Hope the above makes sense, please let me know if any more info is required.

Great

Zen Cart is now sitting in my root folder.

Site

Kinda confused with the links though. Is there a simple way to point the 'home' link to the url? At the moment it points to a new store page, but then if you click the 'store' button in the header, it takes you to the proper store page I have been working on.

I'm confused by your choice of words.

I'm guessing you're asking whether it's possible to set an EZ-Page as the Home Page? If so, the answer is: that's not a built-in selectable option at the present time.

Sorry, yes you guessed right: I wanted to use the EZ page as the home page. That would explain why Kim passed by on my other post asking why I was using an EZ page then!

Hmm. So if that's the case, would there be another way to achieve the effect I want i.e. the slider as the home page with a link to the store?

Try this override code.

Create and upload 2 new files, exactly as shown below:

1. /includes/init_includes/init_ezpage_as_home_page.php

<?php
/**
 * ezpage_as_home_page
 *
 * @package initSystem
 * @copyright Copyright 2003-2010 Zen Cart Development Team
 * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
 * @version $Id: init_ezpage_as_home_page.php 2010-08-31 14:45:33Z drbyte $
 */
if (! defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) {
  die('Illegal Access');
}

if ($this_is_home_page)
{
  // SET THE DESIRED EZ-PAGE NUMBER HERE:
  $_GET['id'] = 20;

  // DO NOT TOUCH BELOW:
  $_GET['main_page'] = 'page';
  $current_page_base = 'page';
  $code_page_directory = 'includes/modules/pages/page';
}

2. /includes/auto_loaders/config.ezpage_as_home_page.php

<?php
/**
 * autoloader activation point for ezpage override
 *
 * @package initSystem
 * @copyright Copyright 2003-2010 Zen Cart Development Team
 * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
 * @version $Id: config.ezpage_as_home_page.php 2010-08-31 14:25:33Z drbyte $
 */
if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) {
 die('Illegal Access');
}
/**
 * point 190 was selected based on dependencies
 */
  $autoLoadConfig[190][] = array('autoType'=>'init_script',
                                 'loadFile'=> 'init_ezpage_as_home_page.php');

Wow that's fantastic!

Didn't think it could be done but it works perfect.

Thanks very much for your support DrByte. It's been a massive help.


I owe you a beer!

[DrByte]

I wish you well. If I'm in London sometime I'll look you up. ;)

Nice one

Spent a few hours today trying to figure out a couple things. I think I'm getting close with one but not there yet.

1) Would like to have the header logo point to the 'home' page and not the store. I have read up and believe I need to add tpl_header.php to my custom folder (which I've done). I've hacked around and inserted the url in various places in the file but it still points to the store. Could someone say where and what edits I need to make please?

<?php
/**
 * Common Template - tpl_header.php
 *
 * this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
 * example: to override the privacy page<br />
 * make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
 * copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_footer.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_header.php<br />
 * to override the global settings and turn off the footer un-comment the following line:<br />
 * <br />
 * $flag_disable_header = true;<br />

2) Is it possible to move the 'Store' link in the footer of the site along so it runs in the same order as the header links? i.e. 'home' 'about' 'store' etc

Thanks for your help
