product.tpl instead of index.tpl

[maz0193]

hello,

is that someone can help me to have this option on my website:

must be the only product that I have on my shop with its versions ( attributes)  is displayed on the homepage of the site.so, i need to have  product.tpl instead of index.tpl.

 

so, When I click on HOME in Prestashop I want to go to my main product page.

my version is : 1.5.6

 

thank you very much for your help

Good morning

 

If you want the home link to add directly to a product then see:

You can then add any other links you require

 

Hope this helps

That's a nice little trick to change the controller :-) Thanks!

 

Just a small thing: couldn't you just remove the whole initContent function? It would then take it's parent's function automatically, right?

yes you've got right

hi, 

this is very good that you have done, there is a final request:

when you click on the logo to return to homepage we, the link becomes: mywebsite.com / index.php id_product = 1 & controller = product?

is there a possibility to have this link: mywebsite.com without (index.php id_product = 1 & controller = product?)

[vekia]

sounds strange, mainly because logo always redirects to the homepage ($base_dir variable contains always url to homepage)

 

make sure that you''ve got this code:

<a id="header_logo" href="{$base_dir}" title="{$shop_name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">
					<img class="logo" src="{$logo_url}" alt="{$shop_name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if $logo_image_width}width="{$logo_image_width}"{/if} {if $logo_image_height}height="{$logo_image_height}" {/if}/>
				</a>

in header.tpl file where the logo appears.

yes I know but now even if I put in the navigation bar : www.mywebsite.com it goes directly to: www.mywebsite.com/index.php?id_product=1&controller=product

{$ base_dir}  became www.mywebsite.com/index.php?id_product=1&controller=product instead www.mywebsite.com

what ps version? 1.5.6.0 or 1.5.6.1 ?

[maz0193]

1.5.6.1

[vekia]

in your indexcontroller add this function:

public function canonicalRedirection($canonicalURL = '')
	{
		
	}

will work then as you expect

[maz0193]

verry verry verry good !

[vekia]

you're welcome

i will udpate by guide for this, 

 

this redirection is a feature in 1.5.6.1 version
