Another request for a home page link to my real home page

I have seen a number of requests for this, but no actual answer: I NEED the cart to return to my home page, or the page from which it was called, but all home links point to the cart. The cqart is NOT the primary portion of the site, and needs to behave as such.

Where do I alter the link? In the database? is there a SQL statement to correct this?

Thanks.

Re: Another request for a home page link to my real home page

There are several links to "Home"
The logo link
the header link
the bread crumb link
the footer link

Some should keep your customer in the cart others you can edit the appropriate files to change

Do you know which ones you want altered?

Re: Another request for a home page link to my real home page

One way would be to rename the "Home' links to, for example, 'Store Front' and leave them linked to the Zencart main page, and then create a new link named 'Home' that would link to your site's home page.

That said, looking at your other thread, if you expect the store to be a major part of your operation, I would also suggest that you eventually convert the whole thing to Zencart.

Re: Another request for a home page link to my real home page

Thanks for the replies -sorry for the delay, I've been stuck with no way to reach an access point.

I've removed the original logo, as my header incorporates my own. And the side columns are mostly not used, so I have a link in the footer and one in the header link. I don't care which is which, but I would love for one to link to the site home and (probably footer) and one to the cart home (probably header.)

This is a very small cart operation - a dozen CDs, one oe two DVDs and individual song downloads from the CDs. I only am using it to initiate the individual song download-on-demand. The majority of the site is promo for my music and video work.

So if I could get the locations of the header and footer links it would help greatly.

Edit a copy for your template of either the tpl_header.php or tpl_footer.php file and change the href to what you want

Thanks -took a couple tries (thought I needed the inner single-quotes), but I got it.

Greatly appreciated.
