Browsing through the ZenCart contributions, I ran across this little guy:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=782

Now I had to download WinRar to even open the contribution because it is in a bz2 format (**sigh**). The file is a slightly jumbled mess with lots of strange characters in it. So after looking it over and doing some cleanup, I managed to make sense of the instructions and replacement code. I'm gonna give it a whirl on my test ZenCart.. If this works, I think this might get me EXACTLY what I want..

In case anyone else is interested, I am including my "cleansed" version of the contribution file. All I did was to get rid of the strange characters, and rearranged/edited the contribution instructions for clarity.

The question I have is this.. When I do this, am I correct in assuming that I should follow the override system when replacing the init_sanitize.php file??

I wrote this small contribution. Actually it was .tar.bz2 file, but zen-cart site removed second extension, you were reading .tar archive. I reuploaded it as .zip, it will appear after validation.

(Un)installation instructions should be read as they are. You need just copy/delete included files, you shouldn't have overrides/init_sanitize.php file before installing contribution, unless your zen-cart is heavily modified.

It can help you if you set "Default main page URL" to "index" and "Default main page URL parameters" to "cPath=0". But you'll need another zen-cart installation for this, it works only with index page... I'm not sure it is what you are looking for.

btw, bzip2 can be read with free 7-zip archiver.

Thank you SOOOOO much for your response! I only have one small question.. I'm not sure what you mean by "But you'll need another zen-cart installation for this, it works only with index page..."

I'm not sure what you mean by "But you'll need another zen-cart installation for this, it works only with index page..."

I mean it doesn't create any new page, it just forces zen-cart to open specific page instead of standard index.

Perfect!! That is exactly what I was looking for.. Thanks again for your response..

Looks like I now have two options that I am gonna evaluate and test.. I am thinking that your solution might be my better bet.. Dunno.. Gonna test both and see.. You are a doll to respond! Thanks again for your help!
