Show categories on homepage?

[jdavis99]

Hi,

Is there a way to show the "All Categories" view as the Homepage (instead of the News)?

Also would need the Homepage link in the left menu to point to "All Categories"...

Thanks in advance

Hi,

that's quite easy. Just remove the home link in index.tpla and change the link in the header to index.php?action=show.

Excuse the newbie-ness

1. I'm using the latest version of phpmyFAQ, downloaded two days ago. So to remove the left link menu, would I be removing:

<li class="home">{backToHome}</li>

from columns>leftcolumn>content?


2. With regards to the index.php homepage header link switch, is it this line:

<h1><a title="{header}" href="{faqHome}">{header}</a></h1>

and am I making the link:

<h1><a title="{header}" href="index.php?action=show"</a></h1>

?


Just wanted to run by you before I took down the whole internet/caused a nuclear Armageddon on my browser.

Thanks.

James

Hi,

yes, this should work.

Thanks Thorsten.

1. Worked.

2. After switching that line, for some reason, it still shows:

News
"No news is good news"
Archived news

on the homepage.

Any ideas?

Hi Thorsten,

I PM'ed it to you (though I'm not quite sure if it got through)

Thanks

Hi,

I forgot something. You have to change occurrences of "main" in index.php to "show" and it should finally work.
