Ok. I'll post it all here, instead of PM. Maybe someone will happen upon it, and it can help them, too.
First, back up everything!!!
You need to open "index.php" in the root folder of your store.
Find this line:
$body = new XTemplate("skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl");
You need to replace that line with this block of code:
/* <rf> unique homepage template mod */
if(isset($_GET['act'])) {
$body = new XTemplate ("skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl");
} else {
$body = new XTemplate ("skins/".$config['skinDir']."/styleTemplates/global/home.tpl");
}
/* <rf> end mod */
You can copy and past it, just as it is.
Save and close the file.
Next you need to go to the skins folder an open "styletemplates", then "global".
You need to create a new file here, named "home.tpl".
After that, open "index.tpl" and copy and paste the contents from "indexl.tpl" into the newly created "home.tpl".
This will give you homepage that is unique to all the other pages, but still have the functionality of the cubecart cart.
After you get that done. I can show you how to put those pics on the homepage without the prices.
Well just add the images you want, and link them to the page in the store where the customer makes the purchase.
If you need pics of any this, or clarification, let me know. It's not as hard as it may seem.
