Customizing content on home page

So, I've tried to find soultion for this, but no luck.

1) On the homepage I need Bestsellers to appear below Featured products.

2) Beside Bestsellers and Featured products I need to add another dialog box on homepage, with some static HTML content.

Can anyone point me to right direction? Thanks!

Re: Customizing content on home page

Hi there,

The file you're looking to modify is skin1/customer/home.tpl (make a backup of this file before proceeding!)

It should be reasonably simple to re-order the content boxes, just cut and paste the relevant sections.

To create new boxes filled with static content, save the following code to a new file (lets say its called static_content.tpl) and place it in your skin1/customer/ folder.

Code:

{capture name=static_content}



... PLACE YOUR CUSTOM HTML HERE



{/capture}

{include file="customer/menu_dialog.tpl" title="ENTER TITLE OF BOX HERE" content=$smarty.capture.static_content}

Now add the following line in home.tpl where you would like to place the box:

Code:

{include file="customer/static_content.tpl" }

Re: Customizing content on home page

That was my idea generally, and this is how I manage to rearrange and add/remove boxes in vertical menus, but it doesn't work when it comes to main content which consists of dialog_message.tpl and home_main.tpl.

I've looked at these tpls, but couldn't find the solution.

For the homepage content, you need to modify skin1/customer/main/welcome.tpl
