redirecting category=1 to the real home page

[lime]

Hi all,

 

In the theme I'm using, my "category.php?id_category=1" page looks awful. I'm using an image fader on the home page and it doesn't show in category=1.

 

Anyway, I don't actually want the category=1 (home>home) page to even show, so I'm looking for an easy hack to redirect "category.php?id_category=1" to the actual home page of the site. Maybe by modifying the Home link in the menu?

 

Any help with this greatly appreciated.

Solved it with a small change to CategoryController.php (PS v1.4.4.1)

 

Inserted the following line between line 94 an 95:

 

if ($id_category == "1") header("Location:

http://SHOPHOME"

);

 

 

SHOPHOME being the address of my home page. Apologies to any real coders out there if this is bad php, but it appears to do the job :-)

This is exactly what I'm looking for but when I put that code in, it gives me an internal 500 error.

Never mind I got it! Adding the code right after the following on lines 88[spam-filter] worked for me.

if (!($id_category = (int)Tools::getValue('id_category')) OR !Validate::isUnsignedId($id_category))
$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('Missing category ID');
else
{

Here is what i use:

 

.................
  	 else
	{
		if((int)$this->category->id == 1)
		{
			$shopUrl = Tools::getShopDomain(true).__PS_BASE_URI__;
			header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
			header('Location: '. $shopUrl);
			exit();
		}
