How do I change link to home?

You need to change the paths in /includes/configure.php and /admin/includes/configure.php to reflect the new location. See the tutorial: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=122

Thanks. Was able to muddle my way through it with the tutorial and help with a friend who has zencart setup in a similar shop format. I definitely have a lot to learn.

HELP HELP HELP

I have read all of the questions and replies in this thread and cannot find (or understand) the answer to my question.

I don't care about the Home links on the site

My site http://aabeehives.com is live and installed in a folder named zencart.

Right now I have a <meta> redirect to http://aabeehives.com/zencart so customers only have to type aabeehives.com to reach the store. **How can I fix that so the store opens with aabeehives.com and not have to use a redirect to /zencart? ** :censored:

You need to move your installation to the root of your domain (/public_html/ or whatever is in your hosting filepaths) and change the configure.php files to reflect the new location, as in post 61.

The current structure I see is:

/home/aabeehiv/public_html/zencart

How far up do I move everything in the zencart folder?

Everything that is currently in the /zencart/ folder would go in the /public_html/ folder.

Thanks for the quick reply. Hope all waorks !

Sorry, I go to a wrong place

ccaines:

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 . '">'; ?> <?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.

wombleau

Add
target="_blank"
to the <a href code.
For example, change```php

<?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . '">'; ?> <?php echo HEADER_TITLE_HOME_PAGE; ?>

tophp

<?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . '" target="_blank">'; ?> <?php echo HEADER_TITLE_HOME_PAGE; ?>

sorry i am not getting the reference as my code looks different

my code reads as

<div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="http://domain.com.au"> ' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT, HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

what and where should i add code so it opens in a new tab?window

Thanks
Womble

What ypu posted appears to be a view of your parsed page source and not file code
Find and/or make a copy for your template of /includes/languages/english/YOUR TEMPLATE/header.php and then follow gjh42's post on alteration

It is the file code, but has had the domain hard-coded in place of the dynamic home URL composition. The

<?php echo '<a href="http://domain.com.au">' . zen_image( should look more like <?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . '" target="_blank">' . zen_image(

Here is how to change the home link to a specific url

This string was a bit of a mess in trying to find a straight forward answer. The info is here but not for changing it to a specific url, for those of you who need that (this is a modification of post #34 from bobdog)

Make copies of these files for editing:
includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header
includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_footer
(or if you've already edited them get them from your custom overrides folder)

In both files, change this:

"' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '"

to this

"http://www.yourdomain.com/whatever.html"

in my header file: on line 34 (and again on line 53 -- IF you also want to change the link on the logo graphic)

from this (entire line provided for context)

<li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></span></a></li> to this: <li><?php echo '<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/whatever.html">'; ?><span><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></span></a></li>

(pay attention to the single quotes that have have been removed, and the double quotes have been left in place...that will change the HOME link to whatever url you like)

There is only one instance of: "' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '"
in tpl_footer; there are two in tpl_header.

marypotter:

i figured it out. thanks anyways!

How did you change you home page link from

http://www.yourpage.com/store

to

http://www.yourpage.com

i changed the logo link

from

http://www.yourpage.com/store

to

http://www.yourpage.com

having trouble with the home link

Which Home link? There can be more than one on a page. Seeing your site live will help us advise correctly.

In general, you will want to change HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG to HTTP_SERVER in whatever file is appropriate to the situation.

marypotter:

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 (https://www.example.com/store vs https://www.example.com).

What am I doing wrong?

It works correctly for me. Maybe you need to clear your browser cache...

Thanks for the information. It was exactly what I was looking for.
