Customizing the Home Page

[only1patrick]

I feel like a complete tard asking this, as I've done really well searching the Tutorial's and Forums, and my sites looking pretty damn good so far.
But... And you would think this would be first and foremost in any Tutorial on Zencart... How the hell do you change the content in the center of the homepage???

I've done multiple searches for this topic, and CAN'T FIND ANYTHING!!
Please help!

That would depend on your template and which bit of content you want to change. Could you give us a link to your site so that we can see what's going on and tell us what you'd like to change?

I'm guessing that you want to edit or add to your page just below the welcome msg ?

not sure if this is exactly what you are after but check it out.. I was asking similar question.

It's fitgirlwear.com/zencart
I'm not using any special template, just what was installed originally. You will see ALOT of augmentation, so that is why me being stuck on that middle part is so dumb.

Thanks for any suggestions you can give.

LOL. If you look at the bottom of that content it tells you where it's located and how to edit it. That's why there's no FAQ about it.

I just found it in the Admin tools. Thanks.
But if anyone reads this and knows the answer to the next question, now I have to figure out how to completely get rid of the Welcome to and Welcome Guest text, I don't want em.
If you don't know off the top of your head, don't worry about it, I'm sure I'll figure it out.

the actual text for both items is stored in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php.
however i found some positioning problems just setting them to a null string, although my positioning and css skills are pretty bad!
there is a config option in admin however to enable on or both of these, and i think its in configuration/layout settings...

just checking now

oops, make that includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php.

sorry for the misleading info!

[ALiepinieks]

yeah, the one that says "Hello Guest..." is located in configuration/layout settings/customer greeting - show on index page.
the other one i never figured out, i simply set the index.php file mentioned in my last post to a null string. this one i think is the 'tagline'.

cheers
