X-Cart forums

What if instead of using of just changing the text of the welcome page (customer/home.php) you wanted to make it so your own URL always loads up wherever the welcome page would have been called. What I am looking to do is have my site's home page come up always instead of customer/home.php.

Has this changed in 4.0 ... I can not find that splash page anywhere... even under the language text sections....

What do you mean exactly by splash page?

[Wizard]

The doorway page mentioned in the first post in this thread....

The one that says "This is a demo store powered by the X-Cart..." then you click on it and it takes you to your site....

I am trying to figure out where to go to modify this page in v4.0 . ... a previous post says the text is in the Language files but I am unable to find it...

although I would rather find where it is called in a tpl so I can just bypass it

LEARN TO USE WEBMASTER MODE

and then you won't have to make a bunch of redundant posts.

I appreciate you making me feel welcome and like I belong here....

Such a friendly place....

Wizard: The splash page is actually named index.html in the xcart folder. Delete this and it will get rid of this step and take you right to the customer/home.php instead.

frankdux: To make it so your site always goes to your own choice of page create an index.php file that refers your customer to the page you want. An example of an index.php file would be this

<?
header("Location: catalog/yourcostumpage.html");
?>

Then put it into your root folder.

Hope these 2 answers help for the questions I saw asked later in this post. Let us know if you still have problems.

Mike,

Did you find the text file for the "welcome to x-cart..."?

It is in languages in the text files and on the last page under the text name txt_welcome.

You will also have to edit:
txt_site_title
txt_privacy_statement
txt_faq
txt_conditions_affiliate
txt_conditions_customer

Hope this helps!
