How do I change link to home?

[ccaines]

I know this may sound like a simple question. I have looked through every option in the admin but I can't find a way to change the main url link. I originally installed zen cart in a sub directory because I planned to add other features in the root directory. Now I have my "zen-like" pages and I need to change the "home" link so the user can navigate back to those pages. Does anyone have a quick answer?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, ccaines ...
If I'm understanding what it is you're looking for, isn't that URL sepcified in the define for HTTP_SERVER in your configure.php ? At least that's where I assumed it comes from.

includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php

find:

define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Home');

Change the highlighted portion.

find:

define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Home');

Change the highlighted portion.

Sorry, I just realized I didn't answer your question.

You can add additional links to those pages by including them in:

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

I only need to change the "Home" link from http://www.couldb.com/yankeemusic to http://www.couldb.com,

Ah yes. I tried it. Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, any modification the the definition here

from

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/yankeemusic/');

to

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');

effects all the defined variables in configure.php and will change the path to my template, css, images and who knows what else. Sucks for me. I think I may have to change the variable into a constant whenever DIR_WS_CATALOG is used. What do you think?

I found the perfect solution.

Change the header title in includes/languages/english/YOUR TEMPLATE/header.php (i.e define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'your new header title');)

Add a new header title (i.e define('HEADER_TITLE_HOME_PAGE', 'Home');) to replace the modified header title.

Add a new link to includes/templates/YOUR TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php (i.e. <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . '">'; ?>&nbsp;<?php echo HEADER_TITLE_HOME_PAGE; ?></a></li>)

This new link replaces the old "Home" header title with a new defined variable modified in header.php.

Notice the href points to HTTP_SERVER.

ZEN uses HTTP_SERVER and DIR_WS_CATALOG to create the link paths. This makes it easy for anyone to modify these links in an elegant way. Just add or remove these variables as needed.

We love ZEN.

I was reading through this because I was hoping it would help me and I can't figure it out.

Right now my home link goes to www.example.com/store. i want to send it to the main page of my site (just www.example.com). I can't figure out how to do that.

I know CSS and XHTML but any other language, I only have a min. knowledge of. If you someone could please break it down for me, I'd be eternally grateful.

So I think I may have tried this suggestions right, but the only thing that happens is my "home" link changes to "HEADER_TITLE_HOME_PAGE" and it still links to the same place (www.example.com/store vs www.example.com).

What am I doing wrong?

[marypotter]

i figured it out. thanks anyways!
