Welcome and good on you for getting stuck into it! I have never heard of or seen anybody putting two products side by side on P'shop. Thinking about how it works I would say don't go there. It is possible for a visitor to compare products. But even that isn't as helpful as side by side. For the homepage I think you need a carousel module. Look at Nethercott Constructions, he (Rocky) might have a good one. I like the social media module from Prestochangeo. Free I think. You can see it on my product pages.

I don't know anything about the UL tag, but you also need to have categories hooked into the header as well for it to show in the left column. Don't ask, because I don't know why... A general response to your comments is that all of these packages are a trade-off. P'shop is real simple to get going and use if you stick to the pre-set parameters. Every time you try to break out of them through some modification you are going to hit a steep wall. It can be done usually, but you have just negated the point of P'shop really and the time you saved by choosing P'shop is now going to be sucked up trying to do something P'shop isn't designed for. I'm not defending it or criticizing it. Just saying that's the way it is in my experience.

I remember something about search needing to be hooked into header to work properly. Does that help?

I don't know how to do this, but conceptually I would be figuring out how to make a product page show as the home page.

You can go into the .tpl and strike it out.

You are using the default category block which doesn't have a lot of functionality. Try the Ajax sliding categories block from Nethercott Constructions. You can see it working on my site....

Broadly speaking, yes it will do those things. No Open Registration may be tricky, but should be doable. But you will have to modify the package in several places to achieve all this I think. I once did similar without any code knowledge and a lot of help from this forum. "How?" is a different thing. It would take a book to explain all of it in one hit. You could hire one of the experts here you know.

The simplest way is to use translations under the tools tab. Find the module under translations and change the word category to something else. I use control F to find and change all instances of the word as it is not always easy to see which 'category' you need to change.

How was this solved pls?

PS: Check this link for further information.. http://www.templatemonster.com/help/footer-links-and-copyright-notification-in-prestashop.html

I think the different sets of info appearing on the default footer are driven by a number of different modules. Categories module for the category column. Social networks for the social network column and so on. There is no specific footer module.

You'll get it through Google Analytics. Look for a link in the top right of the Webmaster screen, from memory. Best of luck mate.

Somebody is going to say P'shop's stats work perfectly for them I'm sure. But not for me and not for you. Google Analytics. First search for Google Webmaster and sign up for it. That is the starting place for using Google. You can give Webmaster your URL and they will provide continually updated reports on how Google is seeing your website. Number of pages indexed, errors they have found etc. This is very important because if Google isn't seeing your site well, or liking what they see, nobody will ever find you through Google search. From Google Webmaster you can sign up for Google Analytics. You will have to place a small bit of tracking code on your website using the Google Analytics module you already have in the Analytics and Stats tab. Analytics can give you more information about your visitors then you'll ever be able to get your head around. It's complex and probably needs a special degree to fully use, but at its base it's good at saying how many visitors, where from, what system, how long, and so on. Once you are signed up with Google in this way, you can also access Adsense which lets you earn some money by running Google ads. My experience is that 100,000 visitors will net you 10 bucks so don't get excited. You can also get involved with Adwords, from which you can run ads for your website elsewhere on the web at a fairly low cost. Best of luck.. It's a Geek Jungle and is not very intuitive at times. But Google Analytics is the industry standard and is data gold if you stick to it and learn a bit about using it.

That's nothing. I get different results depending upon the graph engine I use and most of them think 90% of my visitors are on linux. Which is insane. So I do all my stats work through Google Analytics and others.

Go to modules / positions and check that it is hooked to the location you want to use.
