[SOLVED] Multistore Homepage

[R4istlin]

Hi,

since my expertise with PrestaShop is still limited, I hope you can help me in solving this issue. 

I configured PrestaShop in multistore mode, and everything seems to be fine. Now, I'd like to create a home page where the customer, before displaying the main store, can choose a specific shop just through its link. 

I already checked various sites in order to get some information, and I understood that I need to create the home page, positioning it in the root and modifying the .htaccess file, but I need additional indications... Is there someone who would be so kind to explain me more accurately how to proceed in order to get the result I need? 

 

Thank you in advance

Pasquale

Hi,

I've been in a similar situation recently, I decided to create a simple HTML page with a select list, with proper links to the shops registered. To register a multistore store you can get the virtual URL, and then fill in your select list with the stores, I don't know if it's the best solution, but it helped me.

tks

Hi, first of all, thank you for your reply

 

I already created a HTML page (index.html) with the links of the various stores, and they are already configured with virtual URL (www.mysite.com/shop1

www.mysite.com/shop2) 

 

The issue is related to the redirect: if I type www.mysite.com, the main store showed by the system is www.mysite.com/shop1. 

My need is that the customer, when he/she types www.mysite.com, could find the index.html page with links of various shops, and not directly the shop 1 

 

Basically, I need to understand how and where I have to modify the code, in order to obtain a redirect from www.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/index.html

 

Thank you in advance,

Pasquale

You have to create the structure as follows: leaving an index.html and the shop inside a folder (see example). The only thing you need to do is take the virtual urls from shops and do point to your store.

Hello,

 

Is there way to get a step by step help how to do this? We are just users, not programmers.

 

What is best to have as URL shop1.mysite.com OR www/mysite.com/shop1?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

rgds,

Thanks to all I solved!

I configured the shops with virtual url (mysite.com/shop1 and shop2), I simply added an index.html created by me in the root, without changing any code, typing www.mysite.com pointing is on index.html

Sorry for the stupid question, I thought it was necessary to modify the code, however it was not necessary
