Guest Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Hello, I can't seem to find an easy way to have the home page (index.php) display a centain category rather than 'featured products'. Hope this makes sense, Jrock

Guest Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 THanks man, Looks like that should do it. I was hoping for an easier option though. Any other thoughts?
petercascio Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Took me about two minutes... how much easier can it be?
Guest Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Took me about two minutes... how much easier can it be? I knew there had to be an easier way. I tried the link you showed me, but I just couldn't get it to work right. After some snooping around and a little trial and error this is what I found: In catalog/includes/application_top.php around line 448 there is an area of code that looks like this: // calculate category path if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['cPath'])) { $cPath = $HTTP_GET_VARS['cPath']; } elseif (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']) && !isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) { $cPath = tep_get_product_path($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']); } else { $cPath = ''; } In the last line I put the cpath for the category I wanted to use. '13' in my case. Before: } else { $cPath = ''; After: } else { $cPath = '13'; I'm not sure what side effects this will have on my site. But everything seems to be running smooth. I hope this helps someone else. I couldn't seem to find ANYTHING online about this. -Jrock

If you have category with subcategories, the page will be blank. Category -> products - this works Category -> subcategory -> products - this doesn't work - here you must enter the ID of subcategory if you wish to display products on main page.
