I’m developing a site starting from the Quickstart content.

Can someone please tell me how the Jshopping product items that display on the home page are controlled?

I want to replace this with the same category page content that displays when ‘jshopping’ is clicked on the main menu.

Thanks

I believe the items that appear on the front page of your site – which are assigned to display within the main “content” div (much like articles and such) – is controlled via designations you set within the JoomShopping component itself . . . such as which products are “featured.”

One way you can investigate this is opening up your JoomShopping component (within your site administration) and see which products are displaying on the front page . . . and then check those products’ configurations as to how/why they are displaying on the front page.

make sense?

😎

P.S. (Your logo looks really nice within the JA Tiris template layout. Might I constructively suggest either a different – more “site complimenting” background color for your main navigation, or using a different (and, perhaps, bolder weight) font? NICE WORK thus far !!!)

Hi placidpete

I’m sure Tom won’t mind me intruding here 😉

What is displayed on the front page is controllled from the way the menü item is set up. It isn’t until after that is set that you can use the component itself for the layout. Even then there are some limitations. If memory serves me correctly the home page has “Random Products” and the JShopping page has “Categories”.

What you will need to do is to pick the menü item JoomShopping / Categories.

In Required Settings you pick ‘All’ (for the J2.5 template)

If you want to adjust the order the categories are displayed you need to do this from within the component – from Configuration / ‘Category / Product’ . Not a massive choice here – either alphabetically (name) or by the way you have them set in ‘Categories’ (predefined) in the component

although you can at least change that using the arrows.

Hope that helped you.

Happy Easter to both of you!

Thanks to both of you for your help and comments. I found the jshopping settings for the ‘home’ menu item on the main menu which I changed from random to all categories and it now looks exactly they way I wanted.

As usual the answer seems obvious when someone helpfully shows the way. Thanks for your excellent and fast responses.
