Arrow HELP! Want Home Page To Be A Category

I only have one category with about 14 products in that one category....

How can I make my site so that it defaults to that category as the home page?

Exacmple my domain is "example.com" but I want example.com to go to example.com/cart.php?target=category&category_id=10 as the home page.

Please help! I see nothing in the admin to do with with.

Thank you,

KB

Default Re: HELP! Want Home Page To Be A Category

An easy, but dumb, method would be redirecting from the home page to the category page via the .htaccess file.

A better approach would be creating a custom module that makes the home page display a block listing products from your category. It was discussed some time ago:

However, in this case you will have to site pages listing the same products - this may be not what you are looking for.
