Replaced OSCommerce index.php page with a custom page

[dinohaven]

Hello all!

 

What I have done:

We have replaced OSCommerce's index.php page with a newer, flash version. The older, OSCommerce index.php page has now been renamed to index2.php. We still use this page, but it is now a secondary page.

 

Problem:

By doing this, we have successfully broken all category links. They currently have links that say, "index.php?cPath=1_17". We need them to say index2.php?cPath=1_17.

 

Question:

Is there an easy way to fix this? I looked in the config.php file and couldn't find anything...

 

Any help would be appreciated!

catalog/includes/filenames.php

define('FILENAME_DEFAULT', 'index.php');

change to index2.php.

However; this will change ALL links in the store.

or you could go into your index2.php and find this

	<td width="100%" valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
	<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	  <tr>
		<td class="pageHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></td>
		<td class="pageHeading" align="right"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'table_background_default.gif', HEADING_TITLE, HEADING_IMAGE_WIDTH, HEADING_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	</table></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
	<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
	<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <?php		 <tr>
		<td class="main"><?php echo tep_customer_greeting(); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>

	  <tr>
		<td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; $sts->template['textmain']=TEXT_MAIN;?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>
	  </tr>
<?php
include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS);
?>
	</table></td>
  </tr>
</table></td>
<?php
 }
?>

and replace it with a redirect to your new page.

 

   tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEW_INDEX, '', 'SSL'));

Then in catalog/includes/filenames.php put this

 

define('FILENAME_NEW_INDEX', 'index.php');

 

Any time a link goes to the index page without a category or manufacturer selected it will redirect to your new page.

1. You must ensure you don`t loose osCsid http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...c=330479&hl

 

2. Pass osCommerce session IDs into Flash http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2378
