I'm setting up a multistore site.  How do I make the Store Locator page as home page?

 

Thanks.

hello, in this case you need to modify IndexController php file

you need to modify initContent() function, modify it to display store locator (you can copy contents from stores controller)

	public function initContent()
	{
		parent::initContent();

		if (Configuration::get('PS_STORES_SIMPLIFIED'))
			$this->assignStoresSimplified();
		else
			$this->assignStores();

		$this->context->smarty->assign(array(
			'mediumSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('medium')),
			'defaultLat' => (float)Configuration::get('PS_STORES_CENTER_LAT'),
			'defaultLong' => (float)Configuration::get('PS_STORES_CENTER_LONG'),
			'searchUrl' => $this->context->link->getPageLink('stores'),
			'logo_store' => Configuration::get('PS_STORES_ICON')
		));

		$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'stores.tpl');
	}

don't forget to copy other functions used in code above.

Hi,

 

I enabled MultiStore and took a copy of StoresController.php and  changed the classname to "IndexControllerCore" and pasted in IndexController.php file. Now It is showing the "Our Stores" page as index page.

 

But this Stores page should be displayed only on my main shop. If I navigate to other shops, It should display the default functionality of Prestashop. Tell me how can i check whether it is main shop or other shop inorder to display the stores / default index page.

 

 

Thanks
