X-Cart forums

At the top of the "home" page there is a spot for a welcome message.

I had my site setup the way I wanted, then I managed to lose it and can't for the life of me remember how I did it!

I have a blog that saves to a static page. I want to display this static html file in the area where the welcome message would be.

So I'd like it where you come to the home page of the site and at the top you'll see the blog.htm file displayed in the center with scroll bars and such. Then when I update the blog people will be able to read it on my site.

I'm using the latest version of Xcart as it's a brand new install.

Thanks in advance!

In skin1/customer/main/welcome.tpl
add...

{include file="blog.htm"}

Thanks for the reply, but that just gives me an error message.

Am I doing something wrong?

You just need to ensure the path is correct.

Assuming the page is an X-Cart static page, try...

{include file="./pages/US/page_006.html"}

Hey!! That worked great! Thanks a million.

The problem I've got now is my page_006 is very long. Is there a way to include it into a frame or something to it can have scroll bars?

[PhilJ]

You could use an inline frame instead I suppose...

<iframe src="skin1/pages/US/page_006.html" height="200" width="100%" frameborder="1" scrolling="yes">
Alternative text for browsers that do not understand IFrames.
</iframe>

(the path has changed, as you are now calling the page from the store root)

[smocksam]

OH!!! Now that's working just fine!

Cool, please add your x-cart version to your signature. That will help if you have any future questions
