[email protected] Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I run a computer repair service company. My website does not need the cart on the main home page. Is there a way to have a site and also have a shopping cart that is not "taking over"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugitty Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Sure, install your catalog in a directory below your document root named 'catalog', or what ever you want to call it. Then nothing having to do with the cart has any effect on anything above (root) or parallel (other directories at the same level) to that directory unless you create links to the catalog or its functions in those other areas. ... if you want to REALLY see something that doesn't set up right out of the box without some tweaking, try being a Foster Parent!

[email protected] Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 Would it still go into the same directory? How would i be able to redirect the index.html page to be default.php? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphon Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Would it still go into the same directory?How would i be able to redirect the index.html page to be default.php? If that is what you want then yes it would be the main page.... if you want mydomain.com to go to th cart then install the cart in the root.... if not, install in a subdirectory..... If you install in a subdirectory, it will be accessed through mydomain.com/subdirectory.... either directly or through a link you put on your other pages Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugitty Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 To run your catalog installation separate from other parts of your site: Root Directory -> mysite.com/index.html ---> sub Directory "stuff" -> mysite.com/stuff/index.html ___ (this directory has nothing to do with the cart/catalog) ---> sub Directory "catalog" -> mysite.com/catalog/default.php ___ (everything having to do with the catalog is in and below this directory) ---> sub Directory "morestuff" -> mysite.com/morestuff/index.html ___ (again, this directory has nothing to do with the cart/catalog) The only way the catalog directory is going to have any relationship to your index page, stuff or morestuff directories is through you placing links to it on any of those pages. ... if you want to REALLY see something that doesn't set up right out of the box without some tweaking, try being a Foster Parent!
