Main Categories Displayed on First Page

[drakonan]

Is there an easy way to make the main category show on the first page like the subcategories do?

 

I want to completely get rid of columns and this'd be the first step.

 

Thanks

Hey thanks, but i'm not sure if you know what i mean...

 

I looked at your link and it seems to be a replacement for allprods.php (but instead for categories)

 

Here, let your mind take a picture of this:

 

You know how on a default install you've got "What's New" in the center table (the main page area)?

 

Well, instead of what's new (I've already removed it) I want the main categories to show with picture, you know, just like what you'd see in your main center screen if you clicked on a main category in the "categories" navigation infobox.

 

Does that make sense?

 

I'm saying similar to this:

I'm not sure if I want the pictures as the large area, and then the text under as i described above, or just the categories displayed in the middle with a nice, large and primary -readable- font.

 

(I want to do whatever one is easiest to do)

 

Anyway, I downloaded what you have linked me to anyway to see what it looks like. You may have understood me initially, and this may work, i just read that the intended purpose was different and wanted you to just confirm that this would work for me.

 

I appreciate your time,

 

Thanks

You can add this contribution as a seperate page, or as part of your homepage, header, footer or anywhere else you want to put it. For example http://www.tibetcollection.com/ have it in their homepage. See also http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29792

I LOVE YOU.

 

That is EXACTLY what I want.

 

I couldn't have imagined it better.

 

Thanks a lot!
