How To Make A Product Page The "front Page" Of The Shop?

[fabelmik]

Hi,

 

I have made a design which is based on the product details page.

The idea of this shop is to only have 1 product for sale each day or week and there only needs to be 1 page besides the checkout.

 

The problem is that I havent been able to modify any of the modules to show all the product information and / or functions that I want/need, so I have instead modified the template´s product.tpl file, which works/looks perfect.

 

So what I really want is to make the following URL as the main URL of the shop (which is an example of a product URL):

www.mydomain.com/music-ipods/1-ipod-nano.html

 

If it´s possible to redirect the front page to a specific product page, like the link above, then that would be a solution to my problem.

Otherwise it would be really great if someone can help me find a way to display all product details data of a single product on the front page.

 

Product price (dynamic ajax price), attribute fieldsets, images (multible images if there are such) and so on..

 

I'm very new to Prestashop. I usually work with Joomla and there I can easily show single product of choice on front page by using one of the build in product modules (Virtuemart modules).

Just to clarify 100% regarding the redirection bit..

 

What I want is "simply" to auto-direct anyone who visits the main landing page of my site, e.g.: http://www.myprestashop.com to a specific product page, e.g.: www.myprestashop.com/music-ipods/1-ipod-nano.html

... and as a side info I have tried various combinations of codes in the .htaccess without any luck, though I have to admit that URL-re-writing etc. is not my strong suit.

Any luck on this? I know theres a feature in the BO for it in version 1.4, but it seems to be removed in 1.5...

Hi!

 

I think will work:

 

Redirection in javascript:

<script>

location.href='urlyouwant';

</script>

 

 

Or .htaccess

Is there a 1.7.x solution which is free of charge? Happy to edit the code by hand.
